Patient Consent to allow Acthar Patient Support Team to work together with your insurance provider, pharmacy, advocacy organization and others to provide support on your behalf.
By signing this authorization, I authorize my physician(s), my health insurance company and my pharmacy providers (collectively, “Designated Parties”) to use, disclose, and redisclose to Mallinckrodt ARD LLC (“Mallinckrodt”), the distributor of Acthar, and its agents, authorized designees and contractors, including Mallinckrodt reimbursement support personnel and United BioSource LLC (“UBC”) or any other operator of Acthar Patient Support on behalf of Mallinckrodt (collectively, “Manufacturer Parties”), health information relating to my medical condition, treatment and insurance coverage (my “Health Information”) in order for them to (1) provide certain services to me, including reimbursement and coverage support, patient assistance and access programs, medication shipment tracking, and home injection training, (2) provide me with support services and information associated with my Acthar therapy, (3) serve internal business purposes, such as marketing research, internal financial reporting and operational purposes, and (4) carry out the Manufacturer Parties’ respective legal responsibilities.
Once my Health Information has been disclosed to Manufacturer Parties, I understand that it may be redisclosed by them and no longer protected by federal and state privacy laws. However, Manufacturer Parties agree to protect my Health Information by using and disclosing it only for the purposes detailed in this authorization or as permitted or required by law.
I understand that I may refuse to sign this authorization and that my physician and pharmacy will not condition my treatment on my agreement to sign this authorization form, and my health plan or health insurance company will not condition payment for my treatment, insurance enrollment or eligibility for insurance benefits on my agreement to sign this authorization form. I understand that my pharmacies and other Designated Parties may receive payment in connection with the disclosure of my Health Information as provided in this authorization. I understand that I am entitled to receive a copy of this authorization after I sign it.
I may revoke (withdraw) this authorization at any time by mailing a letter to Acthar Patient Support, 680 Century Point, Lake Mary, FL 32746. Revoking this authorization will end further disclosure of my Health Information to Manufacturer Parties by my pharmacy, physicians, and health insurance company when they receive a copy of the revocation, but it will not apply to information they have already disclosed to Manufacturer Parties based on this authorization. I also know I may cancel my enrollment in a patient support program at any time in writing by contacting Mallinckrodt via fax at 1-877-937-2284 or by calling Acthar Patient Support at 1-888-435-2284. This authorization is in effect for 5 years unless a shorter period is provided for by state law (MARYLAND HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS, under Maryland Code HG § 4-303(b)(4) this authorization expires ONE YEAR from the date of signature) or until the conclusion of any ongoing coverage support, whichever is longer, once I have signed it unless I cancel it before then.
I Agree.
