Patient Assistance

Although PROVENGE has robust coverage with major commercial and public payers, Dendreon is committed to helping your patients who are eligible for treatment gain access to patient assistance. Patient Assistance Programs can help your patients in many ways. Dendreon has continued to enhance the Patient Assistance Programs available by introducing PROvide, a program specifically designed for patients who are covered by commercial insurance.

Support for Patients Without Coverage for PROVENGE^†
