Under the Copayment Program, Jazz Pharmaceuticals will provide up to $[ * ] in copayment assistance to patients properly enrolled by ESSDS in the Copayment Program for each shipment of Xyrem that occurs during the [ * ] period following the initial shipment.

Eligibility

 

   

Patients who are enrolled in a “federal health care program” (as defined in 42 U.S.C. 1320a-7b(f)) that provides coverage for Xyrem, either as primary coverage or secondary coverage, are NOT eligible for participation in the Copayment Program. In addition, patients who [ * ] are not eligible for the Copayment Program. During the initial enrollment process, and prior to each subsequent fill during participation in the Copayment Program, ESSDS shall confirm with the patient via a Q & A process that the patient has elected to participate in the Copayment Program and does not fall within one of these excluded categories. Conducting this Q & A process with each patient and creating a record of each patient’s response shall be ESSDS’ only obligation with respect to this eligibility requirement.

 

   

Only patients who have not participated in the Xyrem Success Program during the [ * ] period prior to receipt by ESSDS of their initial prescription for Xyrem are eligible for the Copayment Program.

 

   

Patients enrolled in Jazz Pharmaceuticals’[ * ] are [ * ] eligible to participate in the Copayment Program.

 

   

The enrollment period for the Copayment Program will end on [ * ]. ESSDS will not enroll any patients after this time without the express written consent of Jazz Pharmaceuticals.

 

   

Enrollment into the Copayment Program may only occur as a result of an initial live conversation that occurs on Thursday or Friday between a patient and an ESSDS Reimbursement Specialist. Patients who have their initial conversation with an ESSDS Reimbursement Specialist on Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday will not be enrolled into the Copayment Program. Exceptions for enrollments on Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday must be approved in writing by either Jazz Pharmaceuticals’ Executive Director, Marketing or Vice President, Marketing and Product Development.

Jazz Pharmaceuticals also may impose additional eligibility criteria for the Copayment Program, as communicated by Jazz Pharmaceuticals to ESSDS in writing.

Duration of Copayment Assistance

 

   

Co-pay assistance is available to patients properly enrolled in the Copayment Program for each shipment of Xyrem made during the [ * ] period following that patient’s initial shipment; however, for patients who participate in the [ * ], the [ * ] period of eligibility for copayment assistance starts with the first [ * ] shipment. No co-pay assistance will be provided under the Copayment Program for shipments made under the [ * ]. ESSDS will not charge Jazz Pharmaceuticals under the Copayment Program for services provided pursuant to the [ * ].

 

   

If a patient is enrolled in the Copayment Program and subsequently becomes eligible for [ * ] payer specified in the [ * ], the patient shall become ineligible for continued participation in the Copayment Program upon ESSDS’ discovery of this change in [ * ] coverage.

Amount of Copayment Assistance

 

   

Each patient enrolled in the Copayment Program will be responsible for the first $[ * ] of his or her copayment/coinsurance obligation applicable to each shipment of Xyrem, with Jazz Pharmaceuticals responsible for the remaining amount up to a maximum of $[ * ] per month. If the patient’s copayment/coinsurance obligation exceeds the maximum amount Jazz Pharmaceuticals will pay pursuant to the preceding sentence, then the patient will be responsible for such excess amount in addition to the first $[ * ].

Scripting

 

   

Appropriate scripting will be developed jointly by the parties, with Jazz Pharmaceuticals having final approval of the script. The script must be finalized prior to commencement of the Copayment Program services.

 

   

The script, and any patient materials subsequently developed for the Copayment Program, will clearly indicate that the Copayment Program is funded by Jazz Pharmaceuticals, and not ESSDS.
