About This Medication

# Sanofi Genzyme Patient Assistance Programs for Lumizyme: How to Get Your Medication at Low or No Cost ## About Lumizyme Lumizyme (alglucosidase alfa) is a prescription enzyme replacement therapy indicated for patients with Pompe disease (GAA deficiency). This medication helps replace the missing enzyme that breaks down glycogen in the body. Because Lumizyme is a specialized treatment for a rare disease, it can be expensive. Sanofi Genzyme offers multiple patient assistance programs to help eligible patients access this medication affordably or at no cost. ## Sanofi Genzyme's Patient Assistance Programs for Lumizyme Sanofi Genzyme provides three main pathways to help patients afford Lumizyme: ### 1. CareConnect Co-Pay Program The **CareConnect Co-Pay Program** helps patients with commercial or private insurance reduce their out-of-pocket costs. This program pays 100% of your eligible out-of-pocket drug costs—including copays, coinsurance, and deductibles—up to a maximum benefit per calendar year. Importantly, this program is available **regardless of your household income**. ### 2. Sanofi Patient Connection (Free Medication Program) The **Sanofi Patient Connection** provides Lumizyme at no cost to eligible uninsured or underinsured patients. This program is designed for patients who cannot afford their medication through insurance or who lack coverage entirely. ### 3. CareConnect Personalized Support Services Beyond financial assistance, **CareConnect** offers individualized support including disease education, treatment information, and resources to help you access care. This program is free, voluntary, and confidential, and you can participate whether or not you're currently on a Sanofi treatment. ## Income Eligibility Requirements ### Sanofi Patient Connection (Free Medication Program) To qualify for free medication through Sanofi Patient Connection, your **annual household income must not exceed 400% of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL)**. The Federal Poverty Level changes annually.
