ENcourage Foundation®
PATIENT CERTIFICATION AND AUTHORIZATION TO DISCLOSE INFORMATION
The ENcourage Foundation® (“the Foundation”) is a nonprofit patient assistance program supported by Amgen that
provides qualifying patients with Enbrel® (etanercept) at no cost.
Authorization to Disclose Information
I authorize the Foundation, Amgen, their agents, and third-party contractors or their service providers authorized to
administer the Foundation to:
• use the information that I provided on the Foundation application form to determine my eligibility for and assist
with my continued participation in the Foundation.
• use my social security number to access my credit information and information derived from public and other
sources to estimate my income in conjunction with the eligibility determination process.
• contact me to seek feedback on the Foundation’s services.
For these purposes, I also authorize my physician, healthcare professionals, health plan(s), care givers, and family
members to disclose to the Foundation, Amgen, their agents, and third-party contractors or their service providers
authorized to administer the Foundation information about my medical condition, treatment, and health insurance
coverage.
I understand that:
• I may refuse to sign this form, but if I refuse to sign or revoke my authorization, I will not be able to receive
assistance from the Foundation.
• my healthcare provider or insurers will not condition my medical treatment or insurance benefits on my agreement
to sign this form.
• once I provide the information as described above to the Foundation, Amgen, the agents, and third-party
contractors or their service providers working on their behalf pursuant to this authorization, federal privacy laws
may not prevent further disclosure of this information.
• I may receive a copy of this form at any time by contacting the Foundation at 1-800-282-7752, and I may revoke it
by mailing a revocation to The Encourage Foundation, PO Box 5730, Louisville, KY 40255-0730.
• a revocation must be in writing and is not effective to the extent that action has already been taken based on this
authorization.
• this authorization will expire one (1) year after the date it is signed below or one (1) year after the last date I
receive product from the Foundation, whichever is later.
Patient Certification
I certify that:
• the information I provided on the Foundation application form is complete and accurate.
• I will not request reimbursement from any insurance carrier or government health benefit program for ENBREL that
I receive from the Foundation.
• I will notify the Foundation within thirty (30) days if my financial status or health insurance coverage changes.
• If I decide to enroll in a Medicare Part D plan, I will inform the Foundation at the number below prior to enrolling. If
I receive notice that I have “auto-enrolled” in a Medicare part D plan, I will immediately inform the Foundation.
• I will not sell, trade, or distribute ENBREL given to me by the Foundation.
I understand that completing the Foundation application form is not a guarantee of eligibility for the Foundation. I also
understand that the Foundation may change or discontinue the program at any time without notice, except that if I am
enrolled in a Medicare part D plan, my benefits will continue until the end of the calendar year.
I understand that if I am currently enrolled in a Medicare Part D plan, I cannot utilize my Part D plan benefits for
products received through the ENcourage Foundation® for the duration of my enrollment in the Foundation. Any
medication I receive through the ENcourage Foundation® will not count toward my true-out-of-pocket (TrOOP)
expenses in Medicare Part D. The ENcourage Foundation® will send a letter to my Medicare Part D plan notifying them
of the assistance I am receiving for ENBREL.
