Affording PEDMARK
At Fennec, we don’t want cost to stand in the way of your child getting PEDMARK.
- If you have commercial or private health insurance: Fennec HEARS™ may be able to offer you copay assistance in the form of a $0 copay card
How to enroll:

NOTE: Independent copay assistance foundations have their own rules for eligibility. We can only refer you to a foundation that supports your child’s disease state. We cannot guarantee a foundation will help you.
- If you are uninsured: The Fennec Patient Assistance Program is committed to providing access to PEDMARK for eligible patients without insurance coverage. To see if you qualify for assistance, call a Fennec HEARS™ Care Coordinator
