Novartis Patient Assistance Programs

From Pharmacy Drug Guide

Jump to: navigation, search


Novartis patient assistance programs can help patients in need of financial assistance to save money on Novartis medications. In order to be eligible for patient assistance from Novartis, patients must be U.S. residents, cannot have public prescription coverage (Medicare may be okay), and must provide proof of income within the program's specified guidelines.

Novartis helps patients afford prescription drugs for a variety of illnesses, such as high blood pressure, cancer, multiple sclerosis, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), seizures, fungal infections and more. Upon approval, Novartis will ship the covered medicine to doctors' offices, where patients can pick them up. Patients are required to fill out a separate application for each drug that they need.[1]

About Novartis Patient Assistance Programs

Novartis Patient Assistance Programs are for patients who have no private or public insurance coverage (other than Medicare in some cases), reside in the United States and have limited family income. Benefits for qualifying patients include free prescription medication from Novartis, although a small copay fee does apply for products that require a pharmacy card.[1]


Enrollment in the program can be started online, or by calling Novartis directly at 800-277-2254. The enrollment procedure will vary depending on the drug you are trying to get assistance for, and may require more extensive assistance from the patient's physician.[1]
