Information Sheet ABBOTT LABORATORIES Covers: Most Abbott Lab Pharmaceutical Products Uninsured Patient Program Eligibility: Abbott Laboratories patient assistance program is available to outpatients who do not have insurance reimbursement for prescriptions and are not eligible for governmental assistance programs (i.e., Medicaid, ADAP). This program provides Abbott medications, at no cost, to patients in financial need. Financial eligibility is based upon current Federal Poverty Guidelines (FPG) adjusted for household size. If a patient’s medication cost is reimbursed by a private or public insurance program (including Medicaid and Medicare Part D plans), the patient will not routinely be accepted into the program.

All such requests will be considered or reconsidered on a case-by-case basis.
