Financial Support Options

Bristol-Myers Squibb is dedicated to providing support to patients and their caregivers throughout the treatment journey. One way we help is by offering financial support information for patients who have insurance or may be uninsured.

I have commercial
insurance

My health insurance is provided by my employer OR I independently purchased it

What help is available to me?

To Start: Please select your prescribed medication.

Medication Selector
I have insurance through a federal program

I am enrolled in a program such as Medicare, Medicaid, or TRICARE

What help is available to me?

Federal Healthcare Programs, such as Medicare, Medicaid, and TRICARE, will cover part of your medication costs. In some cases, you will have to pay for the rest. If you have government insurance, you are not eligible for co-pay assistance programs sponsored by BMS. However, there are independent charitable foundations that may be able to help. What is a federal program?

Working through BMS Access Support®, your doctor's office may be able to refer you to charitable foundations offering support for you. Your doctor can also help you with the application process—or call BMS Access Support at 1-800-861-0048 for details.

No, I don’t currently have prescription drug insurance

Charitable Foundations

BMS Access Support® can make a referral to independent charitable foundations, including the Bristol-Myers Squibb Patient Assistance Foundation (BMSPAF), that may be able to provide financial support.

BMSPAF is a charitable organization that provides free medicine to eligible uninsured patients who have an established financial hardship. To learn more about BMSPAF, click here.

It is important to note that these charitable foundations are independent from Bristol-Myers Squibb Company. Each foundation, including BMSPAF, has its own eligibility criteria and evaluation process.

Bristol-Myers Squibb cannot guarantee that a patient will receive assistance.

For more information, call BMS Access Support at 1-800-861-0048.

There may be support available through the BMS Oncology Co-Pay Assistance Program.
