Don’t let the high cost of brand specialty Alzheimer’s therapy stand between you and the treatment you need. We help eligible patients access Leqembi (lecanemab) for as little as $69.95 per month through the manufacturer’s Patient Assistance Program.
The Leqembi Patient Assistance Program is part of LEQEMBI Companion, Eisai’s patient support hub, and provides Leqembi free of charge to qualifying patients: U.S. or Puerto Rico residents 18 or older with a valid on-label prescription, household income at or below 300% of the Federal Poverty Level, who are either uninsured or insured but denied coverage after at least a first-level appeal. Uninsured patients enroll on a rolling 12-month basis. Applying directly (1-833-4-LEQEMBI / 1-833-453-7362) is always free. But Leqembi’s real complexity isn’t the application — it’s the coverage maze around it: Medicare’s registry requirement, amyloid-confirmation documentation (PET, CSF, or the new FDA-cleared blood test), APOE4 genotyping and MRI-monitoring schedules, the appeal path when coverage is denied, and now the choice between IV and the at-home Iqlik injection, which are billed under entirely different benefits. For a flat $69.95 per month, our Patient Advocates manage all of it — for the patient and, just as often, for the family member coordinating their care.

Leqembi binds soluble amyloid-beta protofibrils and amyloid plaques, flagging them for clearance by the brain’s immune cells. In its pivotal trial, that clearance translated into a measurable slowing of cognitive and functional decline over 18 months in early-stage patients. It is not a cure and does not reverse existing damage — which is exactly why timely diagnosis, coverage, and treatment start matter so much: the window for benefit is early.
How Leqembi Works:
Leqembi binds soluble amyloid-beta protofibrils and amyloid plaques, flagging them for clearance by the brain’s immune cells. In its pivotal trial, that clearance translated into a measurable slowing of cognitive and functional decline over 18 months in early-stage patients. It is not a cure and does not reverse existing damage — which is exactly why timely diagnosis, coverage, and treatment start matter so much: the window for benefit is early.
Form and Use:
The classic regimen is a 10 mg/kg IV infusion every 2 weeks. Since October 2025, patients on maintenance can switch to Leqembi Iqlik — a weekly subcutaneous autoinjector taking 1–2 minutes at home — and as of July 2026, the FDA approved Iqlik for starting treatment as well, meaning new patients can now begin therapy entirely without the IV phase. Beyond convenience, the form changes the billing: IV runs through the medical benefit (Medicare Part B, with infusion-center fees), while Iqlik is dispensed by specialty pharmacy through the pharmacy benefit. Treatment requires confirmed amyloid pathology — via PET scan, spinal-fluid testing, or the FDA-cleared blood test available since 2025 — plus baseline and periodic MRIs.
Generic Availability:
There is no generic or biosimilar lecanemab, and none is on any near-term horizon — the drug was approved in 2023 and holds long exclusivity. Its only in-class competitor is Kisunla (donanemab), a different antibody with different dosing. For cost purposes, assistance programs and insurance navigation are the only levers.
Warnings:
Leqembi carries a boxed warning for amyloid-related imaging abnormalities (ARIA) — brain swelling or micro-bleeds that are usually asymptomatic but can rarely be serious. Risk is higher in patients carrying two copies of the APOE4 gene (genotyping is recommended before starting) and in those on blood thinners. Treatment requires scheduled MRI monitoring; report headaches, confusion, dizziness, or vision changes promptly. Infusion-related reactions are common with the IV form and manageable.
Eisai’s list price is $26,500 per year for IV treatment; the Iqlik at-home injection lists at $19,500 per year ($375 per weekly autoinjector). Patients at or below 300% of the Federal Poverty Level who are uninsured — or denied after appeal — can receive it free through LEQEMBI Companion; our $69.95 monthly fee covers full advocacy and enrollment management.
Yes — under Part B, with conditions: your prescriber must enroll you in a CMS-approved registry (still required in 2026), and amyloid pathology must be documented. Without supplemental coverage you owe 20% coinsurance — roughly $5,300 per year on the drug alone. A Medigap policy or Medicare Advantage out-of-pocket maximum is what actually protects most families; the $2,100 Part D cap does not apply to IV Leqembi.
Iqlik is the subcutaneous autoinjector — weekly, at home, 1–2 minutes. FDA approved it for maintenance in 2025 and for starting treatment in July 2026, and it lists 26% below the IV form. Because it’s dispensed through specialty pharmacy rather than infused, it may run through the pharmacy benefit (Part D for Medicare patients, where the $2,100 cap applies) — but plan-level coverage varies, and we verify your specific plan before recommending a switch.
Amyloid confirmation is required, but since 2025 there’s a cheaper path: the FDA cleared the first blood test for Alzheimer’s diagnosis, which can reduce the need for a $5,000+ PET scan or a spinal tap. Ask your neurologist what your insurance will accept — documentation strategy is part of what we coordinate.
Yes — Eisai’s copay program takes eligible commercially insured patients to as little as $0 per treatment, up to $10,000 per year. It cannot be used with any government insurance.
For Leqembi, a denial is not the end — it’s a doorway: Eisai’s assistance program explicitly accepts insured patients who were denied after a first-level appeal. That makes the appeal itself the critical step, and running it properly — with the right clinical documentation — is core to what our advocates do.
