Support made simple for your patients with FABRY disease
If you’ve prescribed your patient an Amicus Therapeutics product, we can help streamline the next steps. Count on AMICUS ASSIST® to provide the education and support your patients may need to get the most of their care.
Here’s how it works for your patients receiving treatment for Fabry disease:
1) You decide to prescribe an Amicus medication
Once you complete the Patient Referral Form (PRF), send it to AMICUS ASSIST®.
Fax number: 1-833-264-2873 Email: assist@amicusrx.com
2) A Case Manager contacts your office and your patient within 1 business day
Your office will be informed about whether prior authorization (PA) is required, and the steps for obtaining PA. A Case Manager will then contact your patient and tell them when to expect a Welcome Kit, and provide answers to any questions regarding access to treatment.
3) AMICUS ASSIST gets in touch with the specialty pharmacy
Once they confirm the PA (if required), the specialty pharmacy will coordinate the delivery of the prescription and refer your patient to a patient assistance program, if needed.
4) Treatment is shipped directly to your patient’s door
The Case Manager will continue to provide ongoing support, such as support for refills and reauthorizations.
How does AMICUS ASSIST help?
Once you’ve prescribed treatment and the patient has consented, an Amicus Patient Education Liaison (PEL) and Case Manager will be assigned to your patient.
