Improving lives through access and support
Patient Advocacy
Our commitment to patients
Merz Therapeutics is a trusted and authentic partner to the movement disorders and neurological conditions community.
We embed lived experience into our culture and decision-making, build transparent partnerships, advance access and equity and shape solutions that strengthen patient outcomes.
A prescription is just the beginning. Real impact comes from helping patients live their lives, not just manage their disease.
Merz Therapeutics’ nurse-led Patient Support Program for Parkinson’s Disease now guides patients through their treatment journey and addresses individual needs.
Starting at the point of medication delivery, the program reduces barriers and improves outcomes through personalized education, behavioral coaching and multi-channel engagement.
The program follows a Care-Centered Clinical Education framework:
Engage
Understand patient needs, resources and knowledge through empathetic interviews
Educate
Share clear information on the disease, medication, dosing, side effects and support
Empower
Help patients and caregivers build confidence to actively manage treatment
Patients receive a welcome call with their first shipment, followed by scheduled adherence check-ins at days 14, 28 and 90. Additional follow-ups are offered based on individual needs to ensure timely support and sustained adherence.
Support is delivered via phone or virtual sessions, at times convenient for the patient. Nurses may involve caregivers (with consent) and use translation services as needed.
