Once the doctor has prescribed ONIVYDE® (irinotecan liposome injection), the Patient Access Specialists at IPSEN CARES® can provide applicable patient coverage information, as appropriate, between the parent, caregiver, doctor’s office, insurance company, and specialty pharmacy. By serving as a central point of contact, IPSEN CARES® can help patients get started on treatment and provide support throughout the process.
Patients must be enrolled to access all IPSEN CARES® support offerings.
