What is Merck’s access program for Verquvo (vericiguat)?
Merck’s access program for Verquvo is designed to help eligible patients afford the medicine through cost support and/or special pricing pathways. The exact structure (for example, whether it’s a copay card, patient assistance, or a program for uninsured/self-pay) depends on a person’s coverage status and where they receive care.
Because “Merck access program” can refer to different support routes (commercial insurance vs. Medicare vs. uninsured), the most reliable next step is to use the current Verquvo patient support link for enrollment rules and eligibility checks.

If you share whether you (or the patient) are insured commercially, on Medicare, on Medicaid, or uninsured, I can point you to the most likely route to check first.

Is Verquvo covered by insurance, and how does that affect the access program?
