GSK Patient Assistance Program Patient Guide: How to Get Menveo at Low or No Cost

About This Program

The GSK Patient Assistance Program is a charitable program managed by the GSK Patient Access Programs Foundation, an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. This program helps eligible patients receive Menveo (MenACWY-CRM), a meningococcal vaccine, at no cost if they cannot afford it through traditional insurance or out-of-pocket payment.

About Menveo

Menveo is a meningococcal conjugate vaccine indicated for active immunization to prevent invasive meningococcal disease caused by Neisseria meningitidis serogroups A, C, Y, and W-135 in individuals 2 months through 55 years of age.[3] The vaccine does not prevent serogroup B infections.[3] Menveo is available in two formulations: a two-vial presentation requiring reconstitution (approved for ages 2 months through 55 years) and a one-vial liquid formulation (approved for ages 10 through 55 years).[4]

Who Qualifies for This Program?

You may be eligible for the GSK Patient Assistance Program if you meet these criteria:

• Uninsured: You do not have health insurance coverage
• Underinsured: Your insurance does not cover Menveo or your coverage is insufficient
• Financial need: You lack the financial resources to pay for the vaccine out-of-pocket
• U.S. resident: You reside in the United States

Eligibility varies by specific GSK product, so confirmation of Menveo eligibility is required during the application process.

Income Eligibility

The program does not publish specific income thresholds; instead, eligibility is determined on a case-by-case basis. The program evaluates your financial situation holistically, considering:

• Household income

If you are uncertain whether your income qualifies, you are encouraged to apply. Program staff will review your circumstances during the application process.

Insurance Requirements

You are eligible if:
