Pfizer Oncology Together is a patient support program that provides patients and providers access to reimbursement services, financial assistance services, and personalized patient support offerings. Patients may be eligible for different support service options based on their needs and on the Pfizer oncology medication they are prescribed.
The complete list of Pfizer oncology and oncology supportive care drugs and their indications and support programs is provided in the Table.
Patients with commercial insurance and prescription coverage who need assistance obtaining certain Pfizer medications may be eligible for one of the Pfizer Oncology Together programs. Patients who are prescribed Bosulif (bosutinib), Daurismo (glasdegib), Ibrance (palbociclib), Inlyta (axitinib), Lorbrena (lorlatinib), Sutent (sunitinib malate), Talzenna (talazoparib), Vizimpro (dacomitinib), or Xalkori (crizotinib) may be eligible for the Pfizer Co-Pay Savings Program.
Patients who are prescribed Besponsa (inotuzumab ozogamicin) or Mylotarg (gemtuzumab ozogamicin) may be eligible for the Pfizer Oncology Together IV Co-Pay Program. Patients who are prescribed Aromasin (exemestane) may be eligible for the Aromasin Savings Card.
Pfizer Oncology Together offers patients assistance with handling their benefits verification, prior authorization and appeals, and specialty pharmacy coordination.
For patients with Medicare coverage, including Part D, Medicaid, or other government insurance plans, Pfizer Oncology Together helps to identify financial support resources from independent charitable foundations. These foundations have their own eligibility criteria and application process, and availability of support is determined solely by the foundations.
The Pfizer Patient Assistance Program may be able to help patients to receive free medicine if independent charitable foundations are not available. Patients may also receive assistance in finding alternate insurance options. Eligible patients may receive up to a 90-day supply of the medicine until alternative options become available. Patients who are unable to secure insurance coverage may be eligible to receive their medication for free for up to 12 months.
For uninsured patients, Pfizer Oncology Together will help to determine patients’ eligibility for Medicaid or Medicare’s Low Income Subsidy, and will provide assistance with the application process.
Regardless of coverage status, the Free Trial Voucher program offers newly diagnosed patients who are prescribed Bosulif, Inlyta, or Sutent a free trial voucher, which they may get from their healthcare provider. The duration of the free trial is drug-specific (eg, Sutent, 28 days; Inlyta, 30 days; Bosulif, 30 days).
The Pfizer enCompass program offers reimbursement and patient support services for patients receiving a Pfizer biosimilar. Pfizer enCompass provides Retacrit (epoetin alfa-epvx) therapy for free to eligible patients who have no health insurance or who are underinsured.

This program provides tools and resources to connect patients with their loved ones, provides help with daily living tasks, and improves communication with healthcare providers. This app also serves as a way to stay organized and keep track of questions and notes for physicians, reminders, and paperwork.
