    IPSEN CARES Patient Assistance Program Application

    The Patient Assistance Program (PAP) is designed to provide Increlex at no cost to eligible patients. Patients may be eligible to receive free drug if they are experiencing financial hardship, are uninsured or functionally uninsured, are US residents, and received a valid prescription for an on-label use of Increlex as supported by information provided in the program application. Eligibility does not guarantee approval for participation in the program. The PAP provides Increlex product only, and does not cover the cost of previously purchased product or medical services.

    STEP 1: Patient Information
    Required if patient is under 18 years of age.

    I understand that I am providing “written instructions” under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (“FCRA”) authorizing the IPSEN CARES Patient Assistance Program (the “Program”), Ipsen Biopharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Ipsen”), and its vendor, on an ongoing basis as needed for the duration of my participation in Program, under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (“FCRA”), to obtain information from my credit profile or other information from a credit reporting agency (including, without limitation, Experian Health), for the purpose of determining financial qualifications and eligibility for programs administered by Ipsen and the Program.

    I understand that I am affirmatively agreeing to these terms in order to proceed in this financial screening process. I promise that any information, including financial and insurance information that I provide, are complete and true and, unless I have indicated otherwise, I have no drug insurance coverage, which includes Medicaid, Medicare or any public or private assistance program or any other form of insurance. If my income or health coverage changes, I will call the Program at 1-866-435-5677.

    I authorize my/the patient’s healthcare providers and their staff (including those pharmacies that may receive my prescription for Increlex®) to disclose personal health information (“PHI”) about me/the patient, including health information relating to my/the patient’s medical condition, prescription, and insurance coverage, to Ipsen Biopharmaceuticals, Inc., its affiliates, and its agents that have been hired to administer the Ipsen Coverage, Access, Reimbursement & Education Support (IPSEN CARES) program on its behalf (collectively “Ipsen”) in order for Ipsen to: (1) enroll me/the patient in the IPSEN CARES Patient Assistance Program (the “PAP”) if I/the patient am/is eligible; (2) establish my/the patient’s benefit eligibility for assistance related to potential out-of-pocket costs for Increlex®; (3) send me information about the PAP and other programs that might help me/the patient pay for my/ the patient’s medicines; (4) help get Increlex® shipped to my/the patient’s healthcare provider; and (5) facilitate my/the patient’s participation in Increlex® patient programs as I have requested or may request.

    I agree that, using the contact information I provide, Ipsen may contact me for reasons related to the IPSEN CARES PAP to (1) determine if I/the patient am/is eligible for assistance and related support services; (2) leave messages for me that may disclose that I/the patient am/ is or am not/is not eligible for assistance; (3) operate the PAP and other programs that might help me pay for my/the patient’s medicines; (4) send my/the patient’s information to other programs that might help me pay for my/the patient’s medicines; (5) ask me for financial insurance, and/or medical information; and/or (6) share my/the patient’s information as required or permitted by law. I authorize the PAP to use information on this application and any other information I give to the PAP for these same reasons. I also give Ipsen permission to share my/the patient’s PHI and other information with people and companies that work with the PAP; government agencies, including the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services; insurance companies, including Medicare Part D plans; my/the patient’s doctor(s), and other people, or institutions who are involved in my/the patient’s healthcare, such as pharmacies and hospitals; and/or other organizations that might help me pay for my/the patient’s medication. All information that I provide may be used by Ipsen, or any third party working on behalf of Ipsen, in connection with the PAP. I also consent to being contacted by an IPSEN CARES program representative to obtain further information or clarification regarding any adverse event I/the patient may experience.

    I understand that once my/the patient’s PHI has been disclosed to Ipsen, privacy laws may no longer restrict its use or disclosure. However, Ipsen agrees to protect my/the patient’s information by using and disclosing it only for the purposes described above or as required. I understand that my/the patient’s healthcare providers may receive remuneration from Ipsen in exchange for my/the patient’s PHI and/or for any therapy support services provided to me/ the patient.

I understand that I may refuse to sign this form and, if I do so, I/the patient will not be able to participate in the PAP, but it will not affect my/the patient’s eligibility to obtain medical treatment, my/the patient’s ability to seek payment for this treatment, or affect my/ the patient’s insurance enrollment or eligibility for insurance coverage. This authorization expires three years from the date signed unless a shorter time is required by law or unless I revoke my authorization before that time.
