Lilly, Eli and Company
Eli Lilly and Company now enters its 129th year of business. The global, research-based company was founded in May 1876 by Colonel Eli Lilly in Indianapolis, Ind.in the Midwestern section of the United States. A 38 year old pharmaceutical chemist and a veteran of the U.S. Civil War, Colonel Lilly was frustrated by the poorly prepared, often ineffective medicines of his day. Consequently, he made these commitments to himself and to society.
The firm is a leading innovation-driven pharmaceutical corporation. They are developing a growing portfolio of best in class, first in class pharmaceutical products by applying the latest research from their own worldwide laboratories, by collaborating with eminent scientific organizations, by making use of the most up to date technological tools, and by providing exceptional service to their customers.
Lilly Cares is a patient assistance program provided by Lilly through the Lilly Cares Foundation. As part of the company's efforts to provide access to their products for legal U.S. residents regardless of their ability to pay, they created a program to offer free medication, through physicians, to patients who are otherwise unable to obtain their products. They assist patients who are uninsured and whose income is less than 200 percent of the federal poverty level.
Lilly provides assistance with obtaining reimbursement. If patients do not have insurance and are unable to obtain other financial assistance, they may be eligible to obtain Lilly oncology products through their patient assistance program. The firm assists certain health-care institutions that have provided urgent, potentially life-saving treatment to patients who do not have medical insurance, other forms of reimbursement or other means of financial support.
