Managing HIV requires daily medication, but the financial burden of prescriptions like Genvoya can feel overwhelming. For many patients, high out-of-pocket costs create stress and uncertainty about maintaining consistent treatment, which is essential for keeping viral loads undetectable.
The Rx Advocates specializes in helping individuals access Patient Assistance Programs (PAPs) that offer more substantial savings than simple coupons. Our mission is making essential prescription drugs accessible to all who need them.
What is the Genvoya Patient Assistance Program?
Pharmaceutical companies sponsor programs for patients managing HIV-1 who face financial barriers. The program ensures qualifying individuals maintain consistent access to Genvoya.
You provide your infectious disease specialist’s prescription and household income documentation. Our team handles all paperwork, submits your application, and monitors progress until approval. Once enrolled, your medication is covered.
We connect patients to programs from over 100 pharmaceutical manufacturers, helping alleviate high expenses of prescription medications.
How to Qualify
To qualify, individuals must meet specific criteria:
- Individuals may qualify if they earn up to $40,000 annually
- Couples may qualify if their combined annual income does not exceed $60,000
- Larger families may qualify if their total annual earnings do not exceed $100,000
- Valid prescription from licensed healthcare provider
However, it’s important to note that even if you meet these guidelines, approval isn’t guaranteed. Guidelines vary from program to program. Our team is ready to evaluate your specific situation and to see if you qualify.

Why Patient Assistance Programs Beat Coupons
While coupons can offer immediate savings, users must be aware of their limitations. Patient assistance programs offer more comprehensive and consistent financial support.
Coupon limitations
- Usage restrictions: Limit use to specific pharmacies or time frames
- Copay accumulators: Savings may not contribute to out-of-pocket maximum
- Expiration dates: Become ineffective once expired
- Limited coverage: Medication might still be expensive
PAP advantages
- Sustainable savings: More comprehensive and consistent than coupons
- Long-term solution: Ongoing assistance without constraints
- Stress-free access: We manage application process
- Complete support: We handle refills
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
We’ve compiled answers to some of the most common questions about Genvoya and patient assistance programs.
With The Rx Advocates, patients pay a fixed monthly service fee, which depends on the number of medications covered.
- 1 Medication (Genvoya only) – $80 per month
- 2 Medications (Genvoya + 1 other) – $90 per month
- 3 Medications (Genvoya + 2 others) – $100 per month
- 4+ Medications – $110 per month
Importantly, there are no hidden fees, and prices remain consistent even if retail costs fluctuate.
Without a patient assistance program, Genvoya is expensive. Right now, retail prices of Genvoya vary based on several factors.
Several factors influence the final price a patient may pay:
- Dosage: Higher prescribed strengths or quantities cost more
- Location: Prices vary by region due to healthcare and pharmacy pricing differences
- Pharmacy: Each pharmacy sets its own retail structure, which can cause major variations
- Insurance Coverage: Patients with commercial insurance may pay less, while those without coverage often face the full retail cost
This means that two patients could pay very different amounts for the same prescription, depending on where they live, where they buy their medication, and their insurance status.
Most patients meet the requirements when annual household income stays below $40k for individuals, $60k for couples, or $100k for larger families. Since manufacturer requirements can differ, The Rx Advocates assess each case individually to determine eligibility.
The Rx Advocates manage enrollment and monthly refills, coordinating all necessary paperwork with your prescribing physician, submitting completed applications to manufacturers, and arranging medication deliveries to prevent treatment interruptions.
About Genvoya
Genvoya is a combination medication used to treat HIV-1 infection in adults and children weighing at least 55 pounds.
How it works: Combines four antiviral drugs, elvitegravir, cobicistat, emtricitabine, and tenofovir alafenamide. Elvitegravir and cobicistat impede enzymes crucial for HIV replication, while emtricitabine and tenofovir alafenamide obstruct the virus’s ability to replicate genetic material.
Administration: Available as tablets taken orally once daily with food. Recommended dosage is one tablet daily. Adherence to prescribed dosage is critical for effective treatment.
Side effects:
- Common: Nausea, diarrhea, headache
- Serious: Kidney damage, lactic acidosis, severe liver problems in people with hepatitis B
Important warnings: Patients with HIV-1 should be tested for hepatitis B before starting. If patients with hepatitis B discontinue medication, they may experience worsening symptoms. Users should be aware of potential drug interactions, particularly with medications that impact kidneys.
