We are committed to providing support to patients who need our medicines. The COVID-19 pandemic has created unprecedented financial challenges for patients and families. As more patients face difficult decisions in their daily lives, it is important to continue their treatments.
We are proud to offer relief through our existing Bristol Myers Squibb patient support programs. Between Bristol Myers Squibb patient support programs and the Bristol Myers Squibb Patient Assistance Foundation, more than $2 billion in free medicine was provided in 2019. This commitment holds especially true today.
Bristol Myers Squibb expanded its existing patient support programs to help eligible unemployed patients in the U.S. who have lost their health insurance due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The expanded program offers access to Bristol Myers Squibb medicines for free, including some of the company’s most widely prescribed products, as well as those prescribed via telehealth services.
The program features:
- Immediate access for patients who have lost their employment and health insurance
- A simple, single point of entry
- Streamlined enrollment process
- Vouchers to assist with continuity of care for several self-administered BMS medicines, for eligible patients
