About This Medication

# AVEED Copay Assistance Program Patient Guide: How to Get AVEED at Low or No Cost AVEED (testosterone undecanoate) is a prescription injection used for testosterone replacement therapy in adult men with hypogonadism, helping restore low testosterone levels to improve energy, mood, muscle mass, and more.[1][8] The **AVEED Copay Assistance Program**, from **Endo Pharmaceuticals**, helps eligible patients reduce out-of-pocket costs for AVEED injections, potentially covering up to **$300 per injection** or even bringing copays to $0 for those with commercial insurance.[3][4] ## Who Qualifies for the Program? This program is designed for **adult males** diagnosed with hypogonadism (low testosterone due to medical conditions like primary or hypogonadotropic hypogonadism).[1][2][8] You must certify your diagnosis and confirm you're **not enrolled in federal or state-funded insurance** like Medicare, Medicaid, or similar government programs.[2][3] Patients with **commercial insurance** are prime candidates, as the program targets copays and out-of-pocket expenses for AVEED doses administered in the US.[1][4] Key eligibility points: - Diagnosed with hypogonadism by a doctor. - Have commercial insurance (not government-funded). - Willing to follow program rules, including reporting savings to your insurer if required.[2][6] No specific **income thresholds** apply, making it accessible beyond just low-income patients—it's primarily insurance-based assistance.[1][3] ## About AVEED: What You Need to Know **AVEED** is a long-acting testosterone undecanoate injection given every 10 weeks after initial doses, unlike weekly shots.[8] It's for men whose bodies don't produce enough testosterone, addressing symptoms like fatigue, low libido, reduced muscle, and mood issues.[1][7][8] Administered only in certified healthcare settings due to risks like pulmonary oil microembolism (POME) and anaphylaxis—patients must be monitored for 30 minutes post-injection.[1][8] **Benefits** include sustained testosterone levels for better quality of life. **Risks** mirror other testosterone therapies: monitor levels regularly, watch for side effects like breathing issues or allergic reactions.[1][8] Always discuss with your doctor if AVEED's benefits outweigh risks for you. ## Income Eligibility Breakdown This program **does not use income thresholds**—eligibility hinges on insurance type and diagnosis, not household income.[1][3] Here's a simple table: | Eligibility Factor | Details | Status | |--------------------|---------|--------| | **Income Limits** | None specified | ✅ Open to all incomes | | **Diagnosis** | Hypogonadism required | ✅ Must certify | | **Insurance** | Commercial only; no govt. programs | ✅ Eligible if commercial | | **US Resident** | Doses must be in US | ✅ Required | This broad access helps more men afford treatment without financial barriers tied to earnings.[2][4] ## Insurance Requirements **Commercial insurance** is key—program covers copays/deductibles up to $300 per injection for AVEED only (not other costs).[3][4] **Not eligible** if on Medicare, Medicaid, VA, Tricare, or other federal/state programs.[2][3] Cash-pay patients may qualify with billing statements.[3] Report any assistance to your insurer per their rules.[2][6] Many with commercial plans pay **$0 out-of-pocket**.[4] ## Step-by-Step Application Process 1. **Confirm Eligibility**: Call **(800) 381-2638** to check if you qualify based on insurance and diagnosis.[1][3] 2. **Download Form**: Get the AVEED Copay Assistance Program form from aveedusa.com or your doctor.[2][3] 3. **Gather Documents**: - Completed form (include injection number, e.g., 1st, 2nd).[2] - **EOB** (Explanation of Benefits) and billing statement (insured patients).[2][3] - Billing statement (cash patients).[3] - **Patient certification** of hypogonadism (sign to attest).[2][6] 4. **Choose Reimbursement**: Select patient or physician/practice.[6] 5. **Submit by Mail**: Send to the address on the form.
