I do not have health insurance
You may be able to receive your Gilead medication free of charge through the Patient Assistance Program/Medication Assistance Program (PAP/MAP).
Do I need to be residing in the United States to be eligible for PAP or MAP?
Yes. You must be a resident of the United States, Puerto Rico, or US Territories. You must also meet other criteria as well. Proof of residency may be required.
How long does PAP/MAP enrollment last?
PAP/MAP enrollment is for up to 12 months. During this time, there are ongoing eligibility checks to make sure you still qualify. If you get insured while enrolled, or no longer need free medication support, please call 1-800-226-2056 to let us know.
What if I need to stay on PAP/MAP after my year of enrollment expires?
If you still need PAP/MAP after enrollment ends, you may be able to re-enroll. If you are eligible for Medicaid or the AIDS Drug Assistance Program (ADAP), you may not be eligible to re-enroll in PAP/MAP. Please speak with your doctor or call Advancing Access to see if you may be able to re-enroll in PAP/MAP.

I have commercial or private insurance through my employer or directly from a health insurance company
If you have commercial or private insurance through your employer or directly from a health insurance company, the Gilead Advancing Access® co-pay coupon card helps eligible patients who need financial assistance with their co-pays. You may be able to lower your out-of-pocket costs with the Gilead Advancing Access co-pay coupon card.
Find out if you are eligible and get more information
How much does the co-pay coupon card cover?
The amount is based on your medication. For information about the amount covered, view co-pay program benefits and terms and conditions.
Does my co-pay coupon card expire?
No. You keep the same card for your whole enrollment. It auto-renews January 1 each year. For information about the amount covered, go to the co-pay program page.
If I change medications, can I still use my same co-pay coupon card?
If you are prescribed a different Gilead HIV treatment or HIV prevention medication, you can still use your same card. However, SUNLENCA® (lenacapavir) has its own co-pay card. You must enroll for this separately.
Visit our Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) for more answers about how the co-pay coupon card works.
I have government-sponsored insurance such as Medicaid, Medicare, VA, or another federal or state healthcare program
There are many different types of government insurance and programs, and we can help you understand what your coverage is.
If you have government insurance, you may be eligible to receive financial assistance through independent co-pay foundations. Independent co-pay foundations are charitable nonprofit organizations that have their own eligibility criteria and application process. These foundations may give additional support for help with out-of-pocket (OOP) costs including:
Government insurance includes:
- Medicare
- Medicare Part D
- Medicaid
- VA/TRICARE
- Federal Employee Health
- State healthcare plans
