# How to Get Ubrelvy for Free or Reduced Cost Through myAbbVie Assist
Who Qualifies for the myAbbVie Assist?
If you need Ubrelvy (ubrogepant) for migraine but cannot afford it, you may be able to get it at no cost through myAbbVie Assist, AbbVie's official patient assistance program. For a single-person household, your annual income must be at or below $90,360 to qualify. In terms of insurance, this program is open to patients who are uninsured, underinsured, or enrolled in Medicare Part D. If you have commercial insurance that covers Ubrelvy, you are generally expected to use AbbVie's savings card instead, though exceptions may apply if your plan does not cover the drug at all. Meeting income and insurance requirements does not guarantee approval, but most patients who apply and meet the listed criteria may qualify for free medication shipped directly to their home.

About Ubrelvy (ubrogepant)
Ubrelvy is a prescription medication approved by the FDA for the acute treatment of migraine with or without aura in adults. It belongs to a drug class called CGRP receptor antagonists, which work by targeting a protein involved in migraine attacks. Ubrelvy is taken as needed at the onset of a migraine, not as a daily preventive medication. Without insurance or assistance, Ubrelvy can cost several hundred dollars per month, placing it out of reach for many patients. Because no FDA-approved generic or biosimilar version of Ubrelvy is currently available, there is no lower-cost substitute that works the same way, making patient assistance programs an important option for those who cannot afford the brand-name price.

Income Eligibility: Full Breakdown
myAbbVie Assist uses income thresholds set at approximately 600% of the Federal Poverty Level. The table below shows the maximum annual income allowed based on your household size:
| Household Size | Maximum Annual Income |
|---|---|
| 1 person | $90,360 |
| 2 persons | $122,640 |
| 3 persons | $154,920 |
| 4 persons | $187,200 |
If your household has more than four people, the income limit typically increases with each additional member. Contact myAbbVie Assist directly at (800) 222-6885 to ask about larger household sizes.
Your income is typically verified using your most recent federal tax return, a W-2, or a Form 1040. If your tax documents are not available, three months of recent pay stubs may be accepted in some cases. If your income is above the limit, you will not qualify for the free medication program, but you may still have options — see the final section of this guide for alternatives. It is worth applying even if you are close to the limit, as AbbVie reviews each application individually.
