Patient Access Programs

Commitment to Patient Access Genentech is committed to patients having access to our therapies. Through its Genentech Access Solutions program, the company provides patients and healthcare providers with coverage and reimbursement support, patient assistance and informational resources. Patient assistance support is 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.

  • Since 1985, when our first product was approved, Genentech has donated approximately $2.3 billion in free medicine to uninsured patients through its Genentech® Access to Care Foundation (GATCF) and other charitable programs.
  • The company recently expanded GATCF to provide free drug to eligible patients who have private insurance and have met or exceeded their lifetime maximum benefits.
  • In February 2007, the company announced the expansion of GATCF to help address the needs of financially eligible patients enrolled in a Medicare Part D plan who are prescribed Tarceva® (erlotinib).
