What are the patient assistance programs Lipitor offers?

Pfizer, the manufacturer of Lipitor (atorvastatin), offers several patient assistance programs to help eligible patients reduce their out-of-pocket costs for the medication. One such program is the Pfizer Patient Assistance Program.

According to Pfizer's website, patients who are uninsured, underinsured, or have limited financial resources may be eligible for these programs. Eligible patients may receive Lipitor at no cost or at a reduced cost.

What does the patient assistance program cover?

Pfizer's patient assistance program covers the cost of Lipitor for eligible patients, which may include individuals with incomes between 200% and 400% of the federal poverty level, patients who are disabled, or those who are being treated for a life-threatening condition like heart disease. The program covers a one-year supply of Lipitor, with the option for renewal. Patients can also receive assistance with copayment cards or coupons to reduce out-of-pocket costs.

Are there any other programs available?

In addition to the patient assistance program, Pfizer offers the Pfizer Savings Card program, which provides savings to patients with commercial insurance coverage. Patients may be eligible to receive a 30-day supply of Lipitor for just $10 or $25, depending on their insurance plan and income level.

How do I enroll in these programs?

Patients can enroll in these programs by visiting the Pfizer Patient Support website and completing and submitting an application. Additionally, patients may contact the Pfizer Patient Support Center at 1-800-896-0711 for assistance.
