Wyeth is pleased to offer the Factor Resource Program to affirm our continued support of the hemophilia community. The program was developed to allow hemophilia patients to get the factor they need—ReFacto for hemophilia A and BeneFIX for hemophilia B. Three distinct services make up the program—the Insurance-Coverage Program, the Patient Assistance Program, and the Reimbursement-Information Line—and are designed to work together. That means we've pretty much got you covered. |
