Chapter 11: PATIENT ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS<br />

Introduction<br />

A Patient Assistant Program (PAP) is a program that can help eligible patients obtain medications at a<br />

lower cost or, in some circumstances, at no cost.<br />

<strong>Pfizer</strong> <strong>and</strong> the <strong>Pfizer</strong> Patient Assistance Foundation offer prescription assistance to patients through<br />

<strong>Pfizer</strong> Helpful Answers® (PHA). PHA is a family of assistance programs for the uninsured <strong>and</strong><br />

underinsured who need help getting <strong>Pfizer</strong> medicines. These programs provide <strong>Pfizer</strong> medicines for<br />

free or at a savings to patients who qualify. Some programs also offer reimbursement support services<br />

for people with insurance.<br />

This Chapter summarizes certain key <strong>Pfizer</strong> policies regarding Patient Assistance Programs. Non-<br />

compliance with these policies puts the Company at risk <strong>and</strong> can subject <strong>Pfizer</strong> colleagues to<br />

disciplinary actions up to <strong>and</strong> including termination.<br />
