This information is required by the pharmaceutical manufacturers who ship your medication.

If we determine that you may be eligible for Recarbrio assistance, we will handle the application process for you. We will work directly with your healthcare provider to prepare your application documents. Once we have received the signed application and supporting documents, we will submit them to the patient assistance program on your behalf. Our service continues once you are enrolled in the Recarbrio patient assistance program, and we will automatically request your Recarbrio medication refills for up to 1 year.
