Jump to: navigation, search

Sanofi Aventis Patient Assistance Programs help patients experiencing financial hardships save money on their Sanofi Aventis medications. The company's traditional patient assistance program provides eligible patients with free medication for up to a year. Patients are supplied with three months' worth of their medication at a time, to be delivered to their health care provider's office. Income limitations exist, and patients must apply for assistance.[1]

Sanofi Aventis manufactures medications to treat cancer, diabetes, sleep disorders and high cholesterol among other illnesses, and also makes the cosmetic injectable Scultpra. Not all Sanofi Aventis products are eligible for patient assistance.[2]

About Sanofi-Aventis Patient Assistance Programs

Sanofi-Aventis has several patient assistance programs for those prescribed Sanofi-Aventis medications. The company's traditional program offers qualified recipients free medication for up to a year. Patients may reapply at the end of that period. To determine eligibility, patients must complete an application and have their physician fill out the Licensed Practitioner Section. Patients may download it from the company's official website or request it by calling their toll-free hotline at 800-221-4025. Most applicants will receive an reply in three days, although the actual time may vary according to the program.[1] [5]

Patients are eligible for the program if they are residents of the U.S., do not have public or private prescription drug coverage, and have an annual income at or below 250% of the Federal Poverty Level. These guidelines are as follows:[1]

  • $27,075 (annual income) - Individual
  • $36,425 (annual income) - family of two
  • $45,775 (annual income) - family of three
  • $55,125 (annual income) - family of four
  • $64,475 (annual income) - family of five
  • $73,825 (annual income) - family of 6 or more

Applicants are determined on a case-by-case basis, so patients who do not meet the above income or insurance guidelines may still qualify. Patients who have Medicare Part D but would otherwise be eligible for assistance may file an appeal to be accepted if they are not able to afford needed Sanofi Aventis drugs on their own.

Sanofi-Aventis also offers several additional patient assistance programs. These include the following:[6]

  • The HYALGAN® Reimbursement and Patient Assistance Program
  • The LOVENOX® Reimbursement and Patient Assistance Hotline
  • The Eligard® Reimbursement and Patient Assistance Program
