How can we help you?
Understanding Your Insurance
Health insurance usually purchased by an employer or individually from a private or commercial health insurance company. This does not include health plans purchased through federal or state government employers. Commercial plans are generally offered as a preferred provider organization (PPO) plan, point of service (POS) plan, or health maintenance organization (HMO) plan.
Health insurance that is funded by the federal government or a state government. Examples include Medicare, Medicare Part D plans, Medicaid plans, VA/TRICARE, and Federal Employee Health plans.
Health insurance that is purchased through government-regulated marketplaces with different tiers or levels of coverage. Health exchanges were established in accordance with the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA). Examples of exchange plans include "Metal Tier" plans in gold, silver, or bronze. PPACA provides health insurance coverage, prescription coverage, help with healthcare costs, and preventive care.

Filling your MAP Prescription
As of May 5, 2025, anyone enrolled in the Advancing Access Medication Assistance Program can receive their prescribed Gilead medicines via mail. Once a shipment address is confirmed, prescriptions will be mailed as soon as one business day via FedEx overnight delivery to an enrollee’s location of choice to address any privacy concerns—either their home, an alternate address such as a shelter, clinic, FedEx pick-up location, or their healthcare provider’s office should the healthcare provider agree.
New enrollees to Advancing Access may have the option of a 30-day supply of our medicines from a retail pharmacy. Following this first month's fill via retail, the free drug program enrollee will then receive their Gilead medication via mail.
For more details on how to receive your prescription as Gilead is transitioning its Advancing Access free drug program from a retail pharmacy model to a mail order delivery model, please see the FAQs section, Mail order updates, or call 1-800-226-2056.
To find out if your pharmacy takes part in MAP, use our pharmacy finder and enter your pharmacy's name and ZIP code.
On the enrollment form, select “mail order delivery” to have your product sent to your home. You can also call Advancing Access at 1-800-226-2056 for help.
