Patient Assistance and Support Programs

The Commitment to Care program is designed to ensure that eligible individuals, including Medicare beneficiaries who meet our criteria, have access to Schering-Plough's cancer and hepatitis drugs. These medicines include:

The Commitment to Care program's reimbursement specialists provide eligible patients with all aspects of reimbursement assistance at no cost, including:
- insurance verification,
- pre-authorization or pre-certification,
- denial appeals, and
- referrals to state and local assistance programs.
In addition, the program distributed pharmaceutical products free of charge to more than 4,700 needy patients in 2007.

Unlike many other reimbursement programs, Commitment to Care is telephone based, offers patients easy access to a reimbursement assistance specialist with rapid follow up, and eliminates extensive paperwork.
