Bayer US Patient Assistance Foundation: How to Get Levitra at Low or No Cost
About This Program
The Bayer US Patient Assistance Foundation is a charitable organization that helps eligible patients obtain Bayer prescription medications, including Levitra (vardenafil), at no cost.[1][6] If you struggle to afford your erectile dysfunction medication due to financial hardship, this program may be able to help you access the treatment you need.
About Levitra (Vardenafil)
Levitra is a prescription medication used to treat erectile dysfunction in adult men.[4] It works by blocking a protein called PDE-5, which allows muscles in the penis to relax and enables blood flow necessary for an erection.[4] Levitra is manufactured by Bayer Healthcare and is available as an oral tablet in various strengths.
Who Qualifies for Assistance
The Bayer US Patient Assistance Foundation serves patients who:
- Are uninsured or underinsured and cannot afford their medication[2][7]
- Have limited financial resources[7]
- Reside in the United States or Puerto Rico[9]
- Have completed the application process and been approved on a case-by-case basis[7]
The program prioritizes patients with genuine financial need. All applications are reviewed individually to determine eligibility.
Income Eligibility
While specific income thresholds are not publicly detailed in available materials, the program uses income-based guidelines to determine eligibility.[9] The foundation recommends that you:
- First seek assistance from any available state or government programs
- Provide documentation if you've been denied assistance from these programs
- Submit proof of your current income with your application
Because eligibility is determined on a case-by-case basis, the best way to learn if you qualify is to contact the program directly or complete an application.

- Uninsured individuals
- Underinsured individuals (those with high deductibles or limited coverage)

If you have commercial insurance, you may want to explore other options first, such as manufacturer coupons or discount cards, before applying to the patient assistance program.
