TOPAMAX® Savings Program Requirements:
Am I eligible?
You may be eligible for the TOPAMAX® Savings Program if you are age 2 or older, use commercial or private health insurance for your prescribed TOPAMAX®, and must pay an out-of-pocket cost for your medicine. Participate without sharing your income information.
Some health plans have programs or benefit designs known as “accumulators” or “maximizers.” These programs divert patient assistance funds away from patients.
- Accumulators don’t allow patient assistance to count toward the patient’s deductible and out-of-pocket maximum until the maximum value of the patient assistance is reached.
- Maximizers also don’t allow patient assistance to count toward the patient’s deductible and out-of-pocket maximum. Maximizers apply the full value of the patient assistance over the year. This could be either the same amount each month or a larger amount early in the year that tapers off, without allowing any of those funds to count toward the patient’s annual deductible or out-of-pocket maximum.
- The TOPAMAX® Savings Program is designed solely for the benefit of the patient. Thus, Johnson & Johnson reserves the right to reduce the TOPAMAX® Savings Program maximum benefit for patients in an accumulator or maximizer program or benefit design, except where prohibited by law.
In addition, some health plans have “non-essential health benefit maximizers” that conflict with the program requirements of the TOPAMAX® Savings Program.
- These programs or benefit designs, like the services offered by SaveOnSP, classify certain specialty medicines such as TOPAMAX® as “non-essential.” This takes away protections for patients provided by the Affordable Care Act (ACA) related to maximum out-of-pocket limits.
- The TOPAMAX® Savings Program is designed solely for the benefit of the patient. If your insurance company or health plan partners with SaveOnSP, then except where prohibited by law, you will not be eligible for, and you agree not to use, the TOPAMAX® Savings Program.
- J&J reserves the right to discontinue cost support if you no longer meet eligibility requirements.
- If your health plan removes TOPAMAX® from its partnership with SaveOnSP or other non-essential health benefit maximizer, you may be eligible to be reinstated in the TOPAMAX® Savings Program.
By utilizing this Savings Program, you accept and agree to abide by these program requirements. Any individual or entity who enrolls or assists in the enrollment of a patient in the Savings Program represents that the patient meets the eligibility criteria and other requirements described.
Other requirements
- This program is only for people age 2 or older using commercial or private health insurance who must pay an out-of-pocket cost for their prescribed TOPAMAX®. This includes plans from the Health Insurance Marketplace. This program is not for people who use any state or federal government-funded healthcare program. Examples of these programs are Medicare, Medicaid, TRICARE, Department of Defense, and Veterans Administration.

- Program terms will expire at the end of each calendar year. The program may change or end without notice, including in specific states. Offer not valid for residents of CA or MA or for prescriptions filled in CA or MA.
- Program participants are subject to an annual maximum benefit. Program benefits are set at the discretion of J&J and may change without notice.
- Patients who are subject to programs, health plans, or benefits that claim to reduce their patients’ out-of-pocket co-pay, co-insurance, or deductible obligations for certain prescription drugs based upon the availability of, or patient’s enrollment in, manufacturer-sponsored co-pay assistance for such drugs will be subject to a reduced annual maximum program benefit per calendar year (not applicable to patients in Maine).
- Patients who are subject to programs, health plans, or benefits that claim to eliminate their out-of-pocket costs are not eligible for the TOPAMAX® Savings Program, because this program is only for people who must pay an out-of-pocket cost for TOPAMAX®.
