THERA Patient Assistance Program Patient Guide: How to Get Trogarzo at Low or No Cost

About Trogarzo (Ibalizumab-uiyk)

Trogarzo is a prescription HIV medication used to treat multidrug-resistant HIV in patients who have failed other antiretroviral therapies. It is administered as a bi-weekly infusion and is typically used in combination with other antiretroviral drugs. The THERA Patient Assistance Program helps eligible patients access this medication at reduced or no cost.

Who Qualifies for This Program

The THERA Patient Assistance Program offers financial assistance through multiple pathways depending on your insurance status:

Patient Assistance Program (Free Medication): Uninsured or underinsured patients who meet income and residency requirements may receive Trogarzo at no cost.

Co-Pay Assistance Program: Patients with commercial or private insurance may qualify for help reducing their out-of-pocket costs.

Government Insurance Support: Patients with Medicare, Medicaid, or other government insurance can receive information and resources to lower their costs.

Income Eligibility

The program uses a needs-based assessment rather than strict income cutoffs. To qualify for the free medication program, you must demonstrate financial need. The program evaluates your household income and size to determine eligibility.

Insurance Requirements

For the Free Medication Program: You must be uninsured or have no drug coverage specifically for Trogarzo. If you have any private or government insurance that covers Trogarzo, you are not eligible for the free program but may qualify for co-pay assistance or government insurance support.

For the Co-Pay Assistance Program: You must have active commercial or private insurance.

For Government Insurance: If you have Medicare, Medicaid, or other state programs, THERA patient support can help you navigate coverage options and reduce your out-of-pocket expenses.

What Happens If Your Application Is Denied

• Incomplete documentation

You may be eligible for alternative assistance programs, such as the co-pay program if you have commercial insurance, or government insurance support options.

Reauthorization and Refills

Reauthorization is required to continue receiving assistance. Your THERA Patient Care Coordinator will work with you to manage ongoing coverage and reauthorization needs. The program provides continuous support to ensure you don't experience gaps in your treatment.
