Bristol Myers Squibb (BMS) offers the Access Support and Cell Therapy 360 programs for patients prescribed a BMS medication. These programs help provide eligible patients access to BMS oncology medications and patient support services. The support offered varies based on the patient’s prescribed medication and insurance status. See the Table for a list of oncology and oncology supportive drugs, drug indications, and program information.

BMS Access Support

BMS Oncology Co-Pay Assistance Program

Access to certain BMS oncology products is supported through the BMS Oncology Co-Pay Assistance Program. This program is designed for commercially insured patients who need financial assistance with out-of-pocket deductibles, copays, or coinsurance.

Visit BMS Access Support or call 800-861-0048 for program information pertaining to the drug you have prescribed for your patient.

BMS Patient Assistance Foundation

For patients who have government insurance, are underinsured, or have no prescription drug insurance, BMS Access Support can make a referral to independent charitable foundations. Each foundation has its own eligibility criteria and evaluation process. BMS cannot guarantee that a patient will receive assistance.

The BMS Patient Assistance Foundation (BMSPAF) may provide medicine, free of charge, to eligible, uninsured patients who have an established financial hardship. BMSPAF may be able to provide assistance to patients who:

  • Live in the United States, Puerto Rico, or the US Virgin Islands
  • Are being treated by a US licensed prescriber
  • Are being treated with the medicine as an outpatient
  • Do not have insurance coverage for a listed medicine
  • Were prescribed a BMS medicine for cancer.

Other eligibility criteria may apply. For more information, call BMS at 800-736-0003 or visit BMSPAF.org.

Cell Therapy 360 Program

For patients on a BMS CAR T-cell therapy (Abecma or Breyanzi), Cell Therapy 360 provides access and reimbursement support, 24/7 on-call assistance, and a Scheduling and Apheresis Portal.

Through the Cell Therapy 360 Copay Program, patients with commercial insurance can receive up to $10,000 of out-of-pocket costs covered for their CAR T-cell therapy.

Cell Therapy 360 may be able to enable access to CAR T-cell therapy for your uninsured patients or for those patients whose insurance excludes coverage for CAR T-cell therapy and have financial need. Eligible patients have a household income of no more than 600% of the federal poverty level.

Patients enrolled in the Cell Therapy 360 program can also receive posttreatment monitoring assistance as well as 24/7 access to a field medical director with CAR T-cell therapy clinical experience.

Enroll your patients in Cell Therapy 360 online or call 888-805-4555.
