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:

  • If you have Medicaid (government insurance): Copay assistance may be available through independent charities. Contact a Fennec HEARS™ Care Coordinator for a list of potential resources

    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

Our Care Coordinators get you started

Once your doctor has prescribed PEDMARK, you can call a Fennec HEARS™ Care Coordinator to help:

  • Answer insurance questions about coverage for PEDMARK
  • Provide you with tips and resources for managing your child’s treatment

A Fennec HEARS™ professional does not offer medical advice or replace discussions with a healthcare provider.
