About Neuraceq and its cost

What is this medication? Neuraceq is a radioactive diagnostic drug used in Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging of the brain. It is intended for adult patients with cognitive impairment who are being evaluated for Alzheimer's Disease and other causes of cognitive decline. The medication works by labeling beta-amyloid neuritic plaques, which are a hallmark of certain neurological conditions, so that their density can be estimated by a physician during the imaging process.

A scan using Neuraceq provides information that helps doctors rule out or support a diagnosis of Alzheimer's Disease. A negative scan result suggests that plaques are sparse or absent, which significantly reduces the likelihood that the patient's cognitive symptoms are caused by Alzheimer's. Conversely, a positive scan indicates the presence of moderate to frequent plaques; however, this result does not independently establish a diagnosis of Alzheimer's or any other cognitive disorder. It must be used in conjunction with a complete clinical assessment and other diagnostic tests.

Neuraceq is made by Life Molecular Imaging. Like most brand-name drugs, it's priced at a high list price — but patients rarely pay that list price. The options above are the real paths most people use to get it affordably.

Common questions

What's the cheapest way to afford Neuraceq?

It depends on your insurance. On Medicare, apply for the manufacturer's Patient Assistance Program (PAP) — it gives the drug free if you meet income requirements. With private insurance, the manufacturer copay card usually drops your copay to $0-$25. Uninsured patients should compare the PAP with Cost Plus Drugs cash price.

Can I use a copay card with Medicare for Neuraceq?

No — federal law (the Anti-Kickback Statute) prohibits manufacturer copay cards on Medicare, Medicaid, TriCare, and VA prescriptions. But Life Molecular Imaging has a separate Patient Assistance Program for Medicare beneficiaries. Check the options above.

Does my Medicare Part D plan cover Neuraceq?

Part D coverage varies by plan. We query the CMS Prescription Drug Plan file to show you what percentage of plans cover it and at what tier. For your exact copay, pick "Medicare" above and check your plan's Summary of Benefits, or log in to Medicare.gov.

How long does a Patient Assistance Program take?

Most PAPs take 2-6 weeks from application to first fill. Ask the manufacturer about a "bridge supply" — many will ship 30 days free while your application is being reviewed so you don't go without the drug.

What if I have a high-deductible plan?

For generics, Cost Plus Drugs cash price is often cheaper than your deductible-phase copay. For brand names, the manufacturer copay card almost always wins. A GoodRx coupon can be a last resort for uncovered drugs, but it doesn't count toward your deductible.

Are there charity grants for Alzheimer's Disease?

Charities like HealthWell Foundation, PAN Foundation, Good Days, and the National Organization for Rare Disorders provide copay help for specific conditions. Funds often run out mid-year — apply early. We list the specific grants for your condition in the options above.
