Insurance
Assistance
Insurance coverage is often an issue of concern to patients with
immune disease and their families. It is important to learn as
much as possible about all the options and resources available
to you. Baxter offers services specifically designed to assist
you with these issues.
Baxter's Department of Healthcare Economics offers education, support and advocacy
to patients and their healthcare providers, acting as a resource
to those who rely on our therapies.
Baxter is also pleased to provide the GAMMASSIST Program,
a way for eligible users of Baxter's Immune Globulin Intravenous
(Human) therapies to continue to receive their Immune Globulin
without charge in the event of a lapse in private insurance.
For answers to general questions about insurance, check Common
Questions.
If you have specific questions about your insurance coverage or
reimbursement, call the Baxter IVIG Reimbursement Hotline.
For comprehensive information about insurance and reimbursement,
the Immune Deficiency Foundation (IDF) Patient/Family Handbook
is an excellent resource. This book, developed with funding from
Baxter, includes a chapter “Insurance for Primary Immune
Deficiency:Taking Control.”
