gammaCore Financial Assistance Guide
CHAMP has created this financial assistance guide for anyone who has been prescribed gammaCore by their healthcare provider. gammaCore is a non-drug treatment that provides vagus nerve stimulation to help block the pain signals that cause migraine and cluster attacks. It has been approved for adults living with migraine disease and cluster disease. If you or someone you know requires help with paying for treatment, please review the details provided below to see if you qualify for the manufacturer’s (electoCore) financial assistance program and how best to access gammaCore.
Please note: This guide has not been produced or approved by the manufacturer of gammaCore. CHAMP does not endorse the use of any treatment over another, nor promote the use of this treatment for everyone living with migraine or cluster disease. Please consult your healthcare providers to determine if vagus nerve stimulation is right for you.
Many insurers have not yet decided if or how they will cover the costs of gammaCore. If you are prescribed gammaCore, electroCoreTM is offering financial assistance programs to help cover the costs. Each program is different and various programs exist to support patients with private, government-funded insurance, as well as the uninsured.
