For those with Huntington’s disease, Chorea is a real and major symptom. The involuntary, stiffness, and jerky movements of the face, limbs, and torso can be frustrating and lower the quality of life. Austedo provides relief to those suffering from Chorea due to Huntington’s disease. It also helps those with Tardive Dyskinesia (TD), which is also an involuntary movement condition.
Austedo works by lowering neurotransmitter levels, which are chemicals that carry communication between cells.
The medication retails for more than $6,260.00.
That’s why Prescription Hope advocates on behalf of patients across the nation. We take care of the application process for our patients, and then once they’re approved, we take care of ordering, refills, yearly program renewals, and monitor accounts to ensure compliance.
All for $70.00 per month, per medication.
What Is the Austedo Patient Assistance Program
Unfortunately, the retail cost of Austedo means that many patients who need the medication cannot afford it. Because brand-name medications are sometimes too expensive for Americans to get without insurance or government assistance, manufacturers offer what are called Patient Assistance Programs. These programs give affordable medications to those who qualify.
How Expert Advocates Make Austedo Affordable
Professional Application Management
Many brand-name medications offer Patient Assistance Programs to Americans who struggle to afford their meds. However, these programs can be difficult to apply for due to strict requirements, extensive documentation, and time-consuming processes that can be overwhelming for busy Americans.
For 20 years, Prescription Hope has provided relief to those looking to get affordable medications. While Patient Assistance Programs offer affordable meds to those who qualify, the application process can be difficult to navigate due to the expertise needed to properly apply. Prescription Hope advocates for you by handling the entire application process.
We don’t just fill out forms. We communicate with the manufacturer and your healthcare provider throughout the entire process, ensuring all necessary documents, signatures, and forms are properly submitted on time. Then, we ensure that all requirements are met and any modifications needed are taken care of.
Not only that, but we communicate with our patients throughout the process, keeping them up to date on the stage of their application.
The best part is, Prescription Hope doesn’t just manage the application process for affordable medications through PAPs such as the Austedo Patient Assistance Program. Once you’re approved, we coordinate your initial order, all your refills, any document updates, and even actively monitor your account to ensure compliance with the program. Any changes to the program, and we’ll advocate for you.
Predictable Monthly Pricing
Unfortunately, high retail costs of medications mean many Americans struggle to get access to affordable meds. Due to this issue, plenty of options exist today to help patients save.
Things like discount cards, coupons, share programs, and more help give relief when it comes to costs, and can often be easily attained.
However, a few drawbacks do exist for alternative options when looking to save money on medication costs.
Those with insurance sometimes find that high copays and massive deductibles keep them from taking advantage of the savings insurance typically gives. With government assistance, donut holes and gaps in coverage can spell disaster for Americans trying to stay afloat.
Discount cards, coupons, and share programs may be easy to access, but sadly, they sometimes offer minimal discounts on the retail price of the drugs and can be unpredictable in availability.
Prescription Hope is different. We are not an insurance company, nor are we a discount card, coupon, or share program. Instead, we offer our patients complete medication access management for a simple $70.00 per month, per medication.
What does that mean? It means our patients never have to worry about hidden fees, surcharges, surprise fees on their bills, variable pricing, medication costs, tiered systems, or vague pricing structures.
For $70.00 per month, per medication, you get access to your medication through the Austedo Patient Assistance Program and advocacy support for as long as you are a patient with us.
We coordinate with the manufacturer and your healthcare provider, manage orders and refills, cover yearly updates, and monitor your patient account for program compliance.
You simply receive your medication on your doorstep or at your doctor’s office, directly from the manufacturer.
All for $70.00 per month, per med.

Understanding Austedo for Chorea and Tardive Dyskinesia
How Austedo Works
Austedo (Deutetrabenazine) is prescribed by doctors to treat Chorea and Tardive Dyskinesia (TD).
Chorea is a movement disorder associated with Huntington’s disease. It affects the basal ganglia nerve structure in the brain. This causes the hands, feet, and face to move uncontrollably.
Tardive Dyskinesia is also an involuntary movement condition. The movements are stiff and jerky.
Austedo lowers neurotransmitter levels. Neurotransmitters are chemicals that provide communication between the cells.
The medication works by blocking the action of VMAT2, a protein involved in controlling the transfer of chemical messengers between brain nerves. The blocking of VMAT2 lowers the activity of neurotransmitters, reducing uncontrolled body movements.
Without access to the Austedo Patient Assistance Program, Austedo can retail for more than $6,200.00.
Program Benefits and Additional Support
Our advocacy means comprehensive medication access management. But the best part is, we can do it for more than one of your brand-name meds. Once you’ve been approved for the Austedo Patient Assistance Program, we can manage your medication ordering, refills, document updates, yearly renewals, and more.
Access to Multiple Medications
While we proudly coordinate with the Austedo Patient Assistance Program, we also have many other Patient Assistance Programs available in our network.
Our patients looking to get Austedo may need other brand-name medications, and we can help.
