Co-pay Assistance Foundations Referring a Patient to a Co-pay Assistance Foundation

If your patients need help with their medication co-pays, Pulmozyme® Access Solutions can connect them to co-pay assistance foundations* supporting their disease state.

 


Key points to remember about co-pay assistance foundations:

 

  • For some foundations, approval can occur in less than 30 days with possible contingent approval sooner
  • If the patient is denied assistance by one foundation, he or she can be referred to a different foundation, if one is available
  • Although each foundation offers some form of assistance, it might not be a full award
  • The application process might require some form of financial verification
  • All aspects of application processing can vary by foundation and is determined by each foundation
  • Patients should be sure to submit the application and required documentation in a timely manner to avoid delays or gaps in coverage

 

* Genentech does not influence or control the operations of these co-pay assistance foundations, but Pulmozyme Access Solutions can assist patients in navigating the process of seeking co-pay assistance by making an appropriate referral based on a patient’s diagnosis and by assisting with the application process. We cannot guarantee co-pay assistance once a patient has been referred by Pulmozyme Access Solutions. The foundations to which we refer patients each have their own criteria for patient eligibility, including financial eligibility.
