Is there a Lucentis patient assistance program?
Yes. Genentech, Inc. (Roche) runs the Genentech Patient Foundation - Lucentis, which provides Lucentis free of charge to eligible patients. The full rules and the official application link are in the program list above.
Does Medicare cover Lucentis?
Medicare coverage for Lucentis depends on your own plan: depending on how it is given, a drug can fall under Part B (administered in a clinic) or Part D (filled at a pharmacy), and each plan decides what it covers. Your plan's documents or Medicare's plan finder are the only reliable check. Separate from coverage, none of the Lucentis assistance programs we track currently accept Medicare patients.
Is there a Lucentis copay card or coupon, and who can use it?
Yes - the Genentech Ophthalmology Co-pay Program - Lucentis from Genentech, Inc. (Roche). Eligible patients pay as little as $0 per Lucentis co-pay. It works for patients with commercial (private) insurance. Patients on Medicare or Medicaid cannot use the card itself. If you searched for a Lucentis coupon, this manufacturer card is the official version of it.
Where do I find the Lucentis patient assistance application form?
The official application form for the Genentech Patient Foundation - Lucentis is on lucentis.com - the application links on this page go straight to the program's own form. Some programs call it an enrollment form; it is the same document. Applying is always free; never pay a third-party service to file a patient assistance form for you.
Does Lucentis assistance work if I am on Medicare or Medicaid?
None of the Lucentis programs we track currently accept Medicare or Medicaid. If that changes, we will update this page.
Is the Lucentis patient support program the same thing as patient assistance?
Manufacturers like Roche / Genentech (US) / Novartis (ex-US) use "patient support program" as an umbrella term for nurse lines, insurance navigation, and financial help. The financial help is what we track here - for Lucentis that is the Genentech Patient Foundation - Lucentis. The support phone line is listed on the official program site linked above.
