Paying for PEP

Depending on the reason you are prescribed PEP, you may qualify for free or low-cost PEP medicines.

Paying for PEP After a Sexual Assault

• You may qualify for partial or total reimbursement for medicines and clinical care costs.
• Find resources available in your area.

Paying for PEP After an Exposure at Work

• Your workplace health insurance or workers’ compensation will usually pay for PEP.

Paying for PEP for Another Reason

• If you cannot get insurance coverage, your health care provider can apply for free PEP medicines through the medication assistance programs run by the manufacturers.
• These requests for assistance can be handled urgently in many cases to avoid a delay in getting medicine.
• Enrollment applications, such as Gilead’s Advancing Access form or NASTAD’s Patient Assistance tool, can be completed online, over the phone, or by fax.
