Insurance Type
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.
If you don’t have insurance, we may be able to help you.
Affordable Care Act Plans
Health plans available under the Affordable Care Act may be able to help you pay for your healthcare, including prescription medications.

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.
