Headquartered in the Chicagoland Area, AbbVie is a global research-based biopharmaceutical company formed in 2013. The Company's mission is to create an innovation-driven, patient-focused specialty biopharmaceutical company capable of achieving sustainable top-tier performance through outstanding execution and a consistent stream of innovative new medicines. With market leadership in Immunology, Oncology, Migraine, Aesthetics, and Eye Care, AbbVie employs approximately 47,000 colleagues worldwide and markets medicines in more than 175 countries.

AbbVies U.S. Market Access organization partners with U.S. payers to ensure affordable patient access to all of AbbVies pharmaceutical products at the state, regional, and national levels.
