Here is the direct link to Abbvie’s patient support for obtaining Creon. The Abbvie Foundation provides discount coupons for those with private health insurance to obtain Creon for a co-pay of $5.00. If you have Medicare or Medicaid coverage, Creon is provided free of charge. For those on Medicare, qualifying for the financial,assistance program is based on a tiered household income level.

The wording on the website can be a bit confusing as to qualification so I strongly suggest speaking to an Abbvie patient representative is you are on Medicare. Call this number 800.222.6885 and follow the prompts. The application process requires providing evidence of your income and takes approximately four weeks to receive an answer.

Unfortunately, we have too much income to qualify for assistance programs and too little to pay the ridiculous cost. Instead we’re focusing on foods, beverages, and supplements that are rich in digestive enzymes.
