Roche is a pioneer in providing our drugs, free, to patients who lack prescription coverage and the means to pay for the medications they need. In fact, the Roche Patient Assistance Program was one of the first in the industry, setting the standard for assisting patients in need since the early 1960´s.

Since 2000, the Roche Patient Assistance Foundation has provided free Roche products to patients in need valued at more than $991 million (based on Wholesale Acquisition Cost or list price). This includes products provided through generous programs to support Boniva® (ibandronate sodium), Fuzeon® (enfuvirtide), Pegasys® (peginterferon alfa-2a), Xeloda® (capecitabine), CellCept® (mycophenolate mofetil), and other Roche products.

Roche does not charge a co-payment and does not limit the time a patient may receive free drug.
