The application process involves completing several sections: personal information, health insurance details, and a patient authorization section.

Successful applicants receive medications within a few days, while those who do not qualify are informed of the reason for denial.

What You Should Know About This Form

What is the Sanofi Patient Assistance Connection Program?

The Sanofi Patient Assistance Connection Program aims to help individuals access select Sanofi medications and vaccines at no cost. It helps those who meet specific eligibility criteria. The initiative is made possible through Sanofi Cares North America.

Who qualifies for the Patient Assistance Connection?

Eligibility includes being a U.S. resident under a licensed healthcare provider's care. Your annual household income must be ≤400% of the Federal Poverty Level. If you may qualify for Medicaid, you need to provide documentation of denial before applying. Additionally, if you are enrolled in Medicare Part D, you might also qualify based on the same income criteria. Furthermore, you must lack insurance coverage or, if covered, must not have access to the prescribed medications through your insurance. For vaccinations, you must be at least 19 years old, with specific exceptions for certain rabies vaccines.

How can I apply for assistance?

To apply, complete your portion of the application, which includes pages 2 and 3, then give the form to your healthcare provider to fill out and sign page 4. Incomplete forms can lead to delays in processing. The completed application can then be submitted by your provider via mail, fax, or a secure provider portal.

What happens after submitting my application?

Once the application is received, Sanofi will assess your eligibility for assistance. If you qualify, you and your healthcare provider will be notified via a letter. Your enrollment will last for 12 months, and if applicable, your medication will be sent to your healthcare provider within approximately 5-7 business days of approval. If you do not qualify, a letter explaining the reason for denial will be sent to you and your healthcare provider.

Can I submit medical records with my application?

No, you should not include any patient medical records when submitting your application. The program specifically advises against it to protect patient privacy and to simplify the application process.

What medications and vaccines are included in the program?

The program provides various medications and vaccines, including Adacel®, Adlyxin®, and Lantus®, among others. The specifics of available items can be found on the Sanofi Patient Connection website for those looking for detailed information about each product.

What if I have a change in my income or insurance status?

It is crucial to inform the program representatives and your healthcare provider if there’s a change in your income or insurance coverage during your participation in the program. This information may affect your ongoing eligibility for assistance.

How long will I receive assistance?

If eligible, you will receive medications for a duration of 12 months. However, if you are under Medicare Part D, enrollment extends only until the end of the calendar year. Following that period, you may need to reapply to continue receiving assistance.

How can I contact Sanofi Patient Connection for support?

You can reach out to Sanofi Patient Connection at 1-888-847-4877 for any questions or support regarding your application or the program itself. Additionally, you can access their secure provider portal for further assistance.

Common mistakes

Many individuals encounter challenges when completing the Sanofi Patient Assistance form. One common mistake is not providing all required information upfront. Incomplete applications may lead to unnecessary delays in processing. It's essential to ensure every relevant detail, like personal and income information, is filled out completely.

Another frequent error involves miscalculating household income. Applicants must ensure their annual household income does not exceed 400% of the Federal Poverty Level. If documentation is unavailable, this mistake can prevent eligibility, so verifying income against current guidelines is crucial.

Some individuals skip the Medicare Part D section or fail to provide their insurance details accurately. Whether you have insurance or not, this information is critical for determining eligibility. Being honest and thorough here can impact the overall success of the application.

Additionally, individuals often forget to sign necessary sections, especially the Patient Authorization and Patient Consent pages. These signatures indicate consent for information sharing and are mandatory for processing the application. Missing signatures can result in outright rejection of the application.

Another mistake seen is neglecting to contact the healthcare provider to ensure their section is completed properly. The form requires input from a licensed healthcare provider. Following up can prevent additional delays and ensure that the application reflects accurate medical needs.

Applicants sometimes fail to double-check for any additional documents required for their specific situation. For instance, if applying for assistance and enrolled in Medicaid, proof of denial is necessary. Overlooking these requirements can hinder progress.

Some may submit the application without confirming that the healthcare provider has sent it to Sanofi. An individual might fill out everything correctly but still need to ensure that their provider processes the application through the proper channels.

In certain cases, people might not utilize the available resources for assistance effectively. The application includes a section to identify additional resources that could help, so utilizing this feature is beneficial. Additionally, some applicants overlook the potential for follow-up regarding any adverse events related to their medications.

Lastly, crafting an application with care includes being mindful of who is authorized to speak on the applicant’s behalf. This can often be a neglected detail. Clarifying who may discuss the application status ensures smoother communication and avoids confusion later in the process.

Documents used along the form

The Sanofi Patient Assistance form is an essential starting point for individuals seeking financial help with their medication needs. When applying, several other forms and documents may be required to support the application process. Below is a list of common documents often needed alongside the Sanofi Patient Assistance form.

  • Medicaid Denial Letter: Provides evidence that an applicant has been denied Medicaid benefits, which is necessary for those who may qualify for the Patient Assistance Program.
  • Tax Returns: Often required to verify household income. These documents help determine eligibility based on income thresholds set by the program.
  • Income Verification Letter: A document from an employer or government agency confirming the applicant’s income. This can expedite the determination of eligibility.
  • Insurance Information: Details about existing health insurance must be provided to evaluate whether any coverage options are available for the medications requested.
  • Prescription Information: A copy of the prescription from the healthcare provider, detailing the medication needed. This ensures that specific medications are covered under the assistance program.
  • Patient Consent Form: A separate consent document may be needed to allow Sanofi to communicate with healthcare providers regarding the patient's treatment and status.
  • Public Assistance Documentation: Proof of enrollment in other assistance programs, such as SNAP or TANF, may support income level claims.
  • Healthcare Provider's Prescription Verification: This document confirms that the medication is medically necessary. It must be completed by the prescribing healthcare provider.
  • Authorization for Release of Information: This form allows the program to obtain necessary medical and financial information relevant to the application.
  • Proof of Residency: Documentation that confirms the applicant's current address, which is crucial for eligibility as stated in the program guidelines.

Having these documents ready can streamline the application process, helping to ensure that individuals receive the assistance they need in a timely manner. Thorough preparation can help minimize delays and enhance the chances of a successful outcome.

Similar forms

  • Medication Assistance Programs: Similar to the Sanofi Patient Assistance form, medication assistance programs help patients gain access to prescribed medications at low or no cost. Eligibility requirements often include income limits and a lack of insurance coverage, similar to the criteria specified in the Sanofi form.
  • Pharmaceutical Company Patient Programs: These programs provided by various pharmaceutical companies often mirror the Sanofi Patient Connection, offering free medications to qualifying patients. Applicants are usually required to submit income verification and medical necessity documentation, akin to the application process for the Sanofi program.
  • State-Sponsored Prescription Drug Assistance: Many states offer prescription drug assistance that aligns with the Sanofi Patient Assistance form. Eligibility is typically based on income and residency, designed to help individuals who struggle to afford necessary medications.
  • Nonprofit Health Organization Support: Nonprofit organizations may provide support similar to the Sanofi form, often focusing on specific diseases. They usually require applicants to demonstrate need and submit personal and financial information to access free or discounted medications.
  • Medicaid and Medicare Programs: These government programs aim to assist low-income individuals in obtaining medical care, including medications. Like the Sanofi form, they have specific eligibility criteria based on income and insurance status, with documentation required for enrollment and assistance.

Dos and Don'ts

Things You Should Do:

  • Complete all relevant information on page 2 of the form thoroughly.
  • Sign and date the Patient Authorization on page 3.
  • Ensure your healthcare provider fills out and signs page 4.
  • Submit the completed application through your healthcare provider using U.S. Mail, Fax, or the Secure Provider Portal.

Things You Shouldn't Do:

  • Do not leave any sections of the application incomplete.
  • Do not include any Patient Medical Records with your application.
  • Do not submit your application directly; it must go through your healthcare provider.
  • Do not forget to review your application for accuracy before submission.

Misconceptions

1. The program is only for those with no insurance. Many believe that the Sanofi Patient Assistance Program is strictly for uninsured individuals. In reality, it assists those who may have insurance but lack access to specific treatments through their coverage.

2. Eligibility criteria are overly complicated. Some think the eligibility requirements are too complex to navigate. However, the requirements are clearly outlined and primarily focus on residency, income, and insurance status.

3. Application forms can include medical records. A common misconception is that medical records need to be submitted with the application. The program specifically advises against including any patient medical records.

4. Enrollment guarantees access to any medication. Many people assume that being enrolled in the program means they can receive any Sanofi medication. Eligibility is tied to specific medications listed in the program.

5. Only low-income individuals qualify. While earning less than 400% of the Federal Poverty Level is a requirement, individuals with slightly higher incomes may still qualify if they fulfill other criteria, such as insurance status.

6. Applications take a long time to process. There is a belief that it will take forever to get a response after submitting the application. The program typically processes applications within a short time frame — usually 5-7 business days after approval.

7. Healthcare providers can submit applications in any format. Some think any format is acceptable for submitting the application. However, it must be submitted according to specific guidelines, including mailing, faxing, or submitting via a secure provider portal.

8. Assistance through the program is a one-time deal. Many believe that applying for patient assistance is a one-time opportunity. In fact, patients can reapply, and the program may be extended based on updated eligibility criteria.

9. You cannot opt out of communications. People often feel they must accept all communication from the program. While you can receive patient assistance without opting in, you also have the choice to opt out of marketing communications at any time.
