AVONEX Copay Program

Eligible commercially insured patients may lower their out-of-pocket costs to as low as $0.

During participation in the program, assistance provided by Biogen will not exceed an individual annual cap, which is based on certain factors, including but not limited to, insurance coverage, claim details, and/or participation in other insurance plan-sponsored programs. Once this cap is reached, you will be responsible for paying 100% of your total copay amount. By completing this form, you will be screened for eligibility in the AVONEX Copay Program.

Federal and state laws and other factors may prevent or otherwise restrict eligibility. People covered by Medicare, Medicaid, Veterans Affairs (VA), the Department of Defense (DoD), or any other federal plans are not eligible to enroll. You are eligible to enroll in the AVONEX Copay Program for as long as it is offered and you are treated with this Biogen medication, provided that you meet the eligibility criteria.

In order to allow Biogen to provide you with support services,
please complete the patient authorization below.

I. Authorization to Share Health Information

I understand that I have certain rights related to the collection, use, and disclosure of my medical and health information. This information is called "protected health information" (PHI) and includes demographic information (such as sex, race, date of birth, etc.), the results of physical examinations, clinical tests, blood tests, X-rays, and other diagnostic medical procedures that may be included in my medical records. Biogen will not use my PHI without my consent.

By signing this Authorization, I authorize my healthcare provider, my health insurance company and my pharmacy providers ("Healthcare Entities") to disclose to Biogen, and companies working with Biogen (collectively, "Biogen"), health information relating to my medical condition, treatment, and insurance coverage for Biogen to (i) provide me with support services (and related information and materials) related to any of Biogen's products, including but not limited to, online support, financial assistance services, compliance and persistency and other therapy support services, and (ii) conduct data analysis, market research and other necessary internal business activities, and (iii) provide me with information about Biogen's products, services, and programs for educational or other purposes. I understand that once I sign this Authorization, and my medical and health information is disclosed to Biogen by the Healthcare Entities, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) will no longer protect my information because Biogen is not covered by HIPAA. However, Biogen agrees to protect my health information by using and disclosing it only for purposes authorized in this Authorization or as required by law or regulations. I understand that my pharmacy provider may receive remuneration from Biogen in exchange for the health information and/or for any therapy support services provided to me.

I understand that I may refuse to sign this Authorization.

Canceling this Authorization will end my consent to further disclosure of my health information to Biogen by my Healthcare Entities after they are notified of my cancellation but will not affect previous disclosures by them pursuant to this Authorization. Canceling this authorization will not affect my ability to receive treatment, payment for treatment, or my eligibility for health insurance.

This Authorization expires ten (10) years, or such shorter timeframe required by applicable law, from the day I sign it as indicated by the date next to my signature unless otherwise canceled earlier as set forth above.

I have read and understand the Authorization to Share Health Information and I agree to the terms.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS — AVONEX® (interferon beta-1a):

By using the AVONEX Copay Program, the patient acknowledges and confirms that, at the time of usage, they are currently eligible and meet the criteria set forth in the terms and conditions described below.

The AVONEX Copay Program is valid ONLY for patients with commercial insurance who have a valid prescription in accordance with FDA-approved Prescribing Information. The patient must have a US prescriber and a US shipping address. The patient must be a US resident or US citizen. If the patient has federally-funded insurance, such as Medicare, Medicaid, VA, TRICARE®*, or DoD insurance coverage, the patient is not eligible for assistance through the Biogen Copay Program for AVONEX. If the patient obtains a federally-funded plan, such as Medicare, Medicaid, VA, TRICARE®, or DoD, at any time during the enrollment period, the patient must notify Biogen immediately, and Biogen may be required to stop copay payments and immediately remove patient from the program.

The AVONEX Copay Program covers only the cost of the drug and does not cover copays related to administration, office visits, or any network penalties levied by patient’s insurance. The assistance provided through the Copay Program will be subject to an annual cap. Once the maximum amount of assistance has been provided, the patient will be responsible for paying 100% of total copay amounts for the remainder of the year after funds are exhausted.

The AVONEX Copay Program is not valid if the costs are eligible to be reimbursed in their entirety by private insurance or other programs.

The AVONEX Copay Program cap will reset every January 1st. These programs are not health insurance or benefit plans. The programs do not obligate the use of a specific product or provider.

The Copay Program is intended to help patients afford AVONEX. Patients may have insurance plans that attempt to increase the amount of patient’s out-of-pocket costs to reflect the availability of support offered by a manufacturer assistance program. In those situations, the program may change its terms including but not limited to removing these patients from the program.

Biogen will not provide copay assistance directly to the patient. All program claims will be paid directly to the patient’s pharmacy upon receipt of appropriate claim submission. The patient’s pharmacy will be responsible for submitting claims directly to the AVONEX Copay Program.

All patients are responsible for appropriately reporting enrollment into the AVONEX Copay Program as required by their insurer. It is the patient’s responsibility to ensure compliance with all terms of their insurance as outlined by their insurance plan.

Eighteen (18) months of inactivity may result in removal from the AVONEX Copay Program.

Biogen reserves the right to modify or discontinue this program with respect to any patient, or in its entirety, at any time. Patient participation does not mean that the patient is entitled to receive assistance indefinitely.

Pharmacist instructions for a patient with an Eligible Third Party: Submit the claim to the primary Third Party Payer first, then submit the balance due to SS&C Health as a Secondary Payer COB [coordination of benefits] as a copay only billing using BIN 019158 with patient responsibility amount and a valid Other Coverage Code, (e.g. 8). The patient's drug assistance provided through the Copay Program will be subject to an annual cap and reimbursement will be received from SS&C Health. Valid Other Coverage Code required. For any questions regarding SS&C Health online processing, please call the Help Desk at 1-844-373-0987.
