New Program Launches for Patients Seeking Financial Assistance for Betaseron®

January 9, 2007

On January 2, 2007 Berlex's new patient assistance program launched. The new program has been established to help ensure that Betaseron is available to people with MS who, after exhausting all other avenues of coverage and assistance, cannot otherwise afford it. The Betaseron Patient Assistance Program replaces The Betaseron Foundation, which ceased operations at the end of 2006. All participants who were active in The Betaseron Foundation at the end of 2006 who continue to meet the eligibility criteria will be transitioned into the new program. The launch of the program means that new patients can now enroll in the Betaseron Patient Assistance Program, too.

Similar to The Betaseron Foundation, participants in the new Betaseron Patient Assistance Program will:

• Receive assistance in the form of medication.
  
• Pay a participation fee for the program
  
• Meet eligibility based on financial and other relevant criteria
  
• Reapply for assistance every year
