The Genentech Ophthalmology Co-pay Program

The Genentech Ophthalmology Co-pay Program can help you with the out-of-pocket costs for your Genentech treatment, if you’re eligible.

The Genentech Ophthalmology Co-pay Program helps patients with commercial health insurance. This might be a plan you get through your employer or one you purchased through a Health Insurance Marketplace. To qualify, you must also meet other criteria.

Eligibility criteria apply. Not valid for patients using federal or state government programs to pay for their medicine and/or administration of their Genentech medicine. Patients must be taking the Genentech medicine for an FDA-approved indication. Please visit the Co-pay Program website for the full list of Terms and Conditions.

Referrals to Independent Co-pay Assistance Foundations

If you need help with the co-pay for your Genentech treatment, VABYSMO Access Solutions can refer you to an independent co-pay assistance foundation.

An independent co-pay assistance foundation is a charitable organization that gives financial assistance for treatments.

Call (833) EYE-GENE/(833) 393-4363 and press 0 for a referral.

These foundations may be able to help you. Please check their websites for up-to-date information.

Independent co-pay assistance foundations have their own rules for eligibility. Genentech has no involvement or influence in independent foundation decision-making or eligibility criteria and does not know if a foundation will be able to help you. We can only refer you to a foundation that supports your disease state. This information is provided as a resource for you. Genentech does not endorse or show preference for any particular foundation. The foundations in this list may not be the only ones that might be able to help you.

The Genentech Patient Foundation

The Genentech Patient Foundation gives free Genentech treatment to people who meet income guidelines and:

  • Who don’t have health insurance
  • Whose treatment is not covered by health insurance
  • Whose treatment is covered by health insurance and have an out-of-pocket maximum that is more than 7.5% of their household income

To learn more and to apply for help, visit GenentechPatientFoundation.com.

This program is intended to assist patients who are living in the United States and are being treated by a US-licensed physician. We do not collect or require citizenship information.

Patients whose health insurance plan or employer requires them to go through a third-party Alternative Funding Program (AFP) and apply to the Genentech Patient Foundation as a condition of, requirement for, or prerequisite to coverage of a Genentech medicine will not be eligible for assistance from the Genentech Patient Foundation. AFPs may pose potential risks to patients by interfering with their receiving timely treatment and burdening patients with undue stress when trying to access prescribed medicines.

If you have health insurance, you should try to get other types of financial assistance, if available. You also need to meet income requirements. If you do not have insurance, or if your insurance does not cover your Genentech treatment, you must meet a different set of income requirements. 

Genentech reserves the right to modify or discontinue the program at any time and to verify the accuracy of information submitted.
