Patients prescribed Nexavar can turn to REACH (Resources for Expert Assistance and Care Helpline), a free support program providing you with information about your therapy as well as your financial assistance options.
Simply call 1.866.NEXAVAR (1.866.639.2827), and speak to a specially trained REACH counselor who will:
Communicate with insurance companies and help you obtain coverage for Nexavar—from obtaining authorization of coverage to following through if coverage is denied
Help to determine if you qualify for financial assistance and assist with the application process
Identify and electronically submit prescriptions to the specialty pharmacy provider (SPP) that will fill the prescription and send it directly to your home
Provide you with the patient education and support you need while on therapy, such as refill reminders and information regarding adverse events
REACH counselors will also help you with:
Medicare Part D plans cover Nexavar therapy. Your doctor's office or a REACH counselor can help determine your coverage
The Patient Assistance Program provides eligible patients with a 30-day supply of Nexavar shipped to their home. Patients approved for the program will receive assistance for 1 year, after which they must reapply
Temporary Patient Assistance Programs* offer help so qualified patients may receive Nexavar while waiting for insurance approval. In addition, a REACH counselor can contact your insurance company to help with the approval process
The State Pharmaceutical Assistance Programs provide prescription coverage and payment assistance for the disabled and low-income seniors that qualify. You can ask a REACH counselor to find out information about this program in your state
The Commercial Co-Pay Assistance Program† can help eligible patients who have a copay or coinsurance greater than $100 a month. Ask a REACH counselor to find out if you qualify
Other sources of assistance include referrals to charitable foundations or support groups that may assist with your co-pay or other related medical expenses. You can ask a REACH counselor to help you identify such resources
Participation in the REACH program is not contingent on future Nexavar purchases.
