RSVP stands for the Reimbursement Solutions, Verification, and Payment HELPline. The program offers reimbursement support services and patient assistance to help you gain access to the Pfizer specialty medicines you need. RSVP can also help you understand your coverage options. And it can help you find other sources of funding if needed.
If you have prescription drug coverage, RSVP can provide the following benefits:- Reimbursement support services

- Investigate and explain prior authorization process
- Appeals process information
- Assistance with finding another funding source if necessary

If you are faced with a serious financial hardship (eg, cannot afford your coinsurance, or have been denied coverage), you can apply for hardship assistance through RSVP. If approved, you can access your Pfizer medicines for free. Eligibility for financial exceptions varies by product. An RSVP representative will help confirm if you are eligible for hardship assistance. If you are accepted into RSVP with hardship assistance, you must reapply to the program at the end of each calendar year (December 31).
