Gilead Advancing Access Patient Guide: How to Get Odefsey at Low or No Cost

About This Program

The Gilead Advancing Access Patient Assistance Program helps uninsured and underinsured patients access Odefsey (emtricitabine/rilpivirine/tenofovir alafenamide) at no cost or reduced cost. Gilead Sciences, the manufacturer, operates this program to ensure that financial barriers don't prevent you from getting the HIV treatment your doctor has prescribed.

About Odefsey

Odefsey is a once-daily, single-tablet HIV treatment that combines three medications in one pill. It's designed for adults with HIV-1 who have never taken HIV medicines before or who are switching from other treatments. Your healthcare provider has determined that Odefsey is the right medication for your treatment plan.

Who Qualifies for This Program?

You may be eligible for the Gilead Advancing Access program if you meet these criteria:

• Residency: You must be a resident of the United States, Puerto Rico, or US Territories
• Insurance Status: You are uninsured or underinsured (have insurance that doesn't adequately cover Odefsey)
• Income Level: Your household income is at or below 500% of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL)
• Not on Medicare Part D: Patients with Medicare Part D coverage are not eligible for this program

Income Eligibility Breakdown

The program uses 500% of the Federal Poverty Level as the income threshold. Here's what this means for different household sizes:

Note: These figures are approximate and based on 2026 federal poverty guidelines. Contact the program for exact current thresholds.

Insurance Requirements

The program is designed for patients who are:

• Completely uninsured (no health insurance at all)
• Underinsured (have insurance but it doesn't cover Odefsey or has high out-of-pocket costs)

If you have commercial insurance, you may qualify for the Co-pay Savings Program instead, which helps reduce your medication costs. Patients with Medicare Part D are not eligible for free medication through this program but should explore other coverage options with their healthcare provider.
