Competitive Product Programs
• New and existing ATRIPLA patients with commercial insurance who meet certain requirements are eligible for the program, which covers up to $200/month for a full year for patients with an ATRIPLA co-pay greater than $50/month.
• People will be responsible for paying the first $50 of their co-pay. The Atripla co-pay kicks in for co-pays higher than $50 and provides up to $200 of assistance per month for one year. Thus, if someone’s current co-pay is $250 they will only be responsible for $50 going forward.
• Eligible patients can enroll by obtaining an ATRIPLA co-pay assistance card from their physician or healthcare provider. If a healthcare provider does not have an available ATRIPLA co-pay assistance card, patients can call the toll-free number 1-866-784-3431 to receive a card in the mail. Patients must activate the card prior to first use by calling the toll-free number and answering a few questions to verify their eligibility. The card must be used for the first time by December 31, 2009 and the final co-pay assistance amount must be paid within 12 months of card activation.
