Frequently Asked Questions
How do I enroll in Vertex Connects?
You and your healthcare provider will discuss if gene therapy is right for you. If you are prescribed a Vertex gene therapy, you will receive a Vertex Connects enrollment form. You and a loved one can fill out the form together. Once the form has been submitted, your Care Manager will review your information and reach out to officially welcome you to the program. A completed Vertex Connects enrollment form is needed to participate in the program and determine eligibility for certain program offerings. Please note that enrollment in Vertex Connects is not required to receive a Vertex gene therapy.
What type of support can my Care Manager provide?
Your Care Manager will be there with you throughout the treatment process. They will work closely with your treatment center on the logistics of your treatment journey, answer your questions, and share useful guides to help prepare you for each step. They will also spend time getting to know you so that they can provide meaningful support.
How can I prepare myself or my loved one for the gene-therapy journey?
Weighing your options and deciding on gene therapy is a big decision. It means making a commitment to yourself—and your future. One way to start preparing for the journey ahead is by building your support network. This can include family members and friends, peers from your community, and your healthcare team.
