I authorize my health care professionals, pharmacies and health insurers, and their service providers (“Providers”) to disclose information relating to my insurance benefits, medical condition, treatment and prescription details (“Personal Information”) to Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corporation, its affiliates and service providers (“Novartis”) and the Novartis Patient Assistance Foundation, Inc., and its service providers (“NPAF”) so they can provide the following support services (the “Services”):
In delivering the Services, Novartis and NPAF may share my Personal Information with each other, with my Providers, or with government agencies or other financial assistance programs that might help me pay for my medication. They may combine information collected from me with information collected from other sources and use that information to administer the Services. My pharmacies or other health care professionals may receive payment from Novartis or NPAF for providing certain Services, such as medication or refill reminders, based on my enrollment or participation. Once I authorize disclosure of my Personal Information, it may no longer be protected by federal health privacy law and applicable state laws.
I understand I do not have to sign this Authorization to get my medication or insurance coverage, that I have a right to a copy, and can cancel this Authorization at any time by calling 855-537-4678 or by writing to:
PO Box 2971OR
Novartis Patient SupportThis Authorization will expire 5 years after I sign it, or earlier if required by state law, unless I cancel it sooner. If I cancel it, I may no longer qualify for Services from Novartis or NPAF, but it will not impact my Provider’s treatment or my insurance benefits. I also understand that if a Provider is disclosing my Personal Information to Novartis or NPAF on an authorized, ongoing basis, my cancellation will be effective with respect to that Provider as soon as they receive notice of my cancellation. Cancellation will not affect prior uses or disclosures.
Offer valid only when used with commercial health insurance. Offer is not available where:
The amount of funding available from the Program is subject to an annual limit of $18,000. Novartis reserves the right to discontinue the availability of co‑pay assistance at an amount not to exceed $9000 if, at any time, Novartis determines that the patient is subject to a co‑pay maximizer program. Co‑pay maximizers are programs implemented by health plans in which the amount of the patient’s out‑of‑pocket cost is increased to reflect the availability of support offered by a manufacturer assistance program. The patient is responsible for all costs once available funding from the Program is exhausted.
The Program is designed exclusively for the benefit of the patient. The amount of available funding may be reduced or eliminated if it is not credited by the patient’s health plan toward the patient’s out‑of‑pocket obligations (e.g., deductibles, annual out‑of‑pocket maximums). Program funding may also be reduced or eliminated if the patient’s health plan, directly or indirectly, adjusts, reduces, or waives the patient’s health plan benefits based on the availability of, or the patient’s enrollment in, the Program, or otherwise acts in a manner that materially affects these Terms and Conditions.
Only the patient or their legal guardian or caregiver may enroll the patient in the Program. Health plans, specialty pharmacies, pharmacy benefit managers, and their agents and representatives (individually and collectively “Plan Administrators”), are prohibited from enrolling patients in the Program.
Patients in the Program are responsible for notifying Novartis of any change in their prescription drug health plan coverage that may conflict or otherwise affect compliance with these Terms and Conditions. By accepting Program funding from Novartis on behalf of participating patients, Plan Administrators agree to not take any action that materially affects compliance with these Terms and Conditions.
Patients may not seek reimbursement for the value received from the Program from any other party (e.g., health plans, flexible spending or health care savings accounts). Patients are responsible for complying with any applicable limitations and requirements of their health plan related to their use of the Program.
Valid only in the United States and Puerto Rico.

From time to time, Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corporation (“we,” “us,” “our,” or “Company”) may be required by law to provide to you certain written notices or disclosures. Described below are the terms and conditions for providing to you such notices and disclosures electronically through your user account in various Novartis programs.

Consequences of changing your mind
If you elect to receive required notices and disclosures only in paper format, it will slow the speed

or disclosures. To indicate to us that you are changing your mind, you must contact us as described
below.
All notices and disclosures will be sent to you electronically

disclosure, we prefer to provide all of the required notices and disclosures to you by the same
method and to the same address that you have given us. Thus, you can receive all the disclosures
and notices electronically or in paper format through the paper mail delivery system. If you do not
agree with this process, please let us know as described below. Please also see the paragraph
immediately above that describes the consequences of your electing not to receive delivery of the
