To support patients with unresectable or metastatic breast cancer who have been prescribed Enhertu, AstraZeneca has a Patient Support Program (PSP). Patients enrolled in the PSP will have access to educational resources, reimbursement navigation support, and for those with private insurance, co-payment towards the cost of the drug (up to 20 percent). The PSP will also offer a free drug program which will provide financial support for Enhertu at 100% for eligible patients. All new, eligible patients enrolled in the PSP will have access to educational resources, reimbursement navigation, infusion support, and co-payment support toward the cost of Enhertu (up to 20%). If you have questions you can contact the PSP directly at the following:
