If patients are having trouble getting access to their Pfizer medication, they can visit www.PfizerRxPathways.com to use the Program Finder or call the toll-free phone number 1-844-989-PATH (7284) to consult with a Pfizer Medicine Access Counselor who will work with them to map out their path to prescription assistance. To determine which available program(s) may be right for them, patients will be asked to answer four questions:

• What is your medicine?
• What type of prescription coverage do you have?
• How many people are in your household?
• What is your total household income before taxes?

Based on the answers to these questions, patients will be provided with a list of programs that may be able to help them.

The Pfizer Patient Assistance Program provides free Pfizer medicines to patients who are uninsured or publicly insured via government-provided insurance and unable to afford their copayment. Public Insurance includes Medicare, Medicaid, Champus/TRICARE & VA. Commercially insured patients are not eligible.

Both uninsured and underinsured patients may be eligible for help. To qualify for free medicine through the Pfizer Patient Assistance Program, patients must*:

• Seek assistance for a medicine available through the Pfizer Patient Assistance Program for an FDA approved indication.
• Meet income guidelines, which vary by product and household size: 300% FPL for Primary Care products (including Eucrisa) and 500% or 600% FPL for Specialty and Oncology products.
• Be an uninsured/government underinsured patient. Commercially insured patients are not eligible.
• Be treated by a healthcare provider licensed in an outpatient setting in the United States, Puerto Rico, or US Virgin Islands.
• Live in the United States, Puerto Rico, or US Virgin Islands.

Patients can dial the toll-free phone number 1-844-989-PATH (7284) to consult with a Pfizer Medicine Access Counselor to find out if they meet the eligibility requirements.

No. Commercially insured patients (e.g., patients who get their insurance through their job or through a Federal Employer Plan) are not eligible for the PAP.

Patients and their healthcare providers can begin the application process by going to the Program Finder on www.PfizerRxPathways.com. Enter the name of your prescribed medicines and follow the onscreen instructions.

For certain Pfizer medicines, patients and healthcare providers can complete the application process online through Pfizer PAP Connect. For patients who are unable to participate online, maintain a fully manual process.

Within 2 to 3 weeks of applying for assistance, patients will be notified of their enrollment status.

Pfizer regularly updates the list of covered products. For a complete list of available medicines, please visit www.PfizerRxPathways.com.

Also, medicines that are typically only administered to hospital “inpatients” are not available through the program.

Patients applying for free medicines may need to provide financial documentation with their application.

Pfizer does not require proof of US citizenship, but it does require that applicants have a US address.

Pfizer does not require patients to apply to their state health exchange first. However, for some medicines, patients who appear eligible for Medicaid will be asked to apply for the program while we provide temporary patient assistance if eligible.   

The Pfizer Patient Assistance Program is open to both uninsured patients and underinsured patients with either public insurance like Medicare or private insurance like insurance provided through employers, pending eligibility.

To qualify for free medicine through the Pfizer Patient Assistance Program, patients must*:

• Meet income guidelines, which vary by product and household size. The income eligibility for patient assistance starts at 400% of the Federal Poverty Limit adjusted for family size ($51,520 for a single person; $106,000 for a family of four). Income limits are subject to change on an annual basis; current limits reflect 2021 Federal Poverty Level Guidelines.
• Have no prescription coverage, or not enough coverage, to pay for their medicine.
• Be treated by a healthcare provider licensed in an outpatient setting in the United States, Puerto Rico, or US Virgin Islands.
• Live in the United States, Puerto Rico, or US Virgin Islands.

The difference in the program for uninsured patients vs. underinsured patients is that uninsured patients are enrolled for 12 months but patients with insurance are enrolled through the end of a calendar year, since many people switch plans at the end of the calendar year. Patients can reapply for help at the end of their enrollment period as often as needed.

Pfizer PAP Connect is a new way for patients and their healthcare providers to enroll in the Pfizer Patient Assistance Program¹ online for certain primary care medicines⁴.

For all other Pfizer medicines, patients and healthcare providers should follow the existing application process outlined on the Pfizer RxPathways website.
