We want to make reimbursement for Celgene products as easy as possible for both patients and their healthcare providers. If your patient is uninsured or underinsured, he or she may be eligible for assistance from Celgene, as well as through government programs and non-profit organizations. If your patient is a Medicare recipient or a patient with private insurance, there are also resources available to cover gaps in coverage.

If your patients are uninsured or cannot afford medication, there are several programs and services available to them.

Patients 65 and over may be eligible for Medicare Part D, Medicare’s prescription drug program. If your patient is already a Medicare recipient, he or she is automatically eligible for this program. In order to enroll, your patient will need to find a local plan. Plans can differ significantly, so patients should be aware of all the options. The Medicare Part D section of this web site has more information.

Even if your patient has private insurance, he or she may still have trouble filling in coverage gaps. His or her insurance company may also deny a claim. If your patients need help paying co-payments or have reached a benefit cap, there are foundations and charities that can provide assistance. The More Resources section offers a list of these organizations.

A Patient Support Coordinator (PSC) can begin a benefits investigation and determine whether prior authorization is required. When a claim has been denied, a PSC can work with you to appeal that claim.

In addition, patients may apply for free product from Celgene. Medicare Part D patients will receive free product for the remainder of the calendar year. For commercial insurance patients or patients with no insurance, free product assistance is assessed every six months. Your patient will need your help applying for this aid.
