Patient Access Programs Genentech is committed to helping patients have access to our therapies. For those eligible patients in the United States who do not have insurance coverage or who cannot afford their out-of-pocket co-pay costs, the company provides several options for support. Since 1985, when our first product was approved, Genentech has donated approximately $1 billion in free medicine to uninsured patients through the Genentech® Access to Care Foundation (GATCF) and other charitable programs. Since 2005, Genentech has also donated more than $140 million to independent non-profit organizations that provide co-pay assistance. Through its Genentech Access Solutions program, the company provides patients with assistance and information on a broad array of coverage, reimbursement and patient assistance services and support.
