The Genzyme Co-Pay Assistance Program helps eligible individuals in the United States who are prescribed treatment with one of Genzyme’s enzyme replacement therapies pay for their eligible out-of-pocket drug and infusion-related expenses, including co-pays, co-insurance and deductibles, regardless of financial status.
Once enrolled in Genzyme's Co-Pay Assistance Program, Genzyme will cover 100% of your eligible out-of-pocket drug and infusion-related costs up to the program maximum.
Once approved for assistance, your healthcare provider will be provided with information about your enrollment in this program along with directions on how to submit a claim to the Genzyme Co-Pay Assistance Program.
Regardless of financial status, the program is open to individuals who are:
- U.S. citizens or legal residents who have primary commercial insurance
- Prescribed treatment with one of Genzyme’s enzyme replacement therapies
- Have coverage or prescriptions paid for in part or full under any state or federally funded healthcare program including:
- Medicare
- Medicare Advantage Plans (Example: FreedomBlue offered through Blue Cross Blue Shield)
- Medicaid
- Medigap
- Veterans Affairs, Department of Defense or TRICARE
- Federal Employee Plan (FEP)
- High Risk Pool or Pre-existing Condition Insurance Plan (PCIP)
- In accordance with State law, the Program does not reimburse infusion-related charges for patients residing in Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota and Rhode Island.
Genzyme reserves the right to make eligibility determinations, to set program benefit maximums, to monitor participation, and to modify or discontinue the program at any time. This program assists patients with their out-of-pocket drug and infusion-related costs of their enzyme replacement therapy treatment only, not the cost of medical evaluations/appointments, testing or other related services.
