The amount you pay for branded AUBAGIO will depend on a number of
factors, including:
All prescription medications have a list price.1 Very few people
actually pay the list price, which is a price set by the manufacturer.
The list price* of AUBAGIO is $9,029.72 for a 30-day supply, but
most people will not pay that price.
The amount you pay for AUBAGIO will largely depend on whether
you have insurance, the type of insurance you have, whether your
insurance provider considers the medication to be preferred or not preferred, and whether you’ve met your deductible.
How much you pay for your prescription drugs may change throughout the year for some people with Part D insurance. You may pay more in the beginning of the year or more later in the year depending on which phase of the Part D benefit you are in.†
Some people with Part D coverage are eligible for the Extra Help2 program (also known as the Low-Income Subsidy or “LIS”), and they typically pay $3.95-$9.85 for their prescriptions.3 If you would like to check whether you qualify for this program and apply, please go to www.ssa.gov/benefits/medicare/prescriptionhelp.
If you do not have insurance or are unable to pay for treatment, the Sanofi Patient Assistance Program could be the answer. Another solution: an MS One to One Nurse may be able to help you get support from not-for-profit organizations.
Call 1-855-676-6326 to talk to an MS One to One Nurse for more information and to see if you’re eligible. You may also want to check with your local patient advocacy group about other support.
†Drug coverage under Medicare Part D is divided into four phases: 1) deductible, 2) initial coverage, 3) coverage gap, and 4) catastrophic. Each of these phases has different cost-sharing amounts.
For most people on Medicaid, out-of-pocket costs for prescription drugs like branded AUBAGIO could range on a number of factors, such as eligible population's household income.4‡ To find out if you qualify for Medicaid, or for more information about copays under Medicaid in your state, please go to www.medicaid.gov/state-overviews/index.html.
‡Some may pay a coinsurance rate as established by the state and FPL level of up to 20% of the state’s cost.
If you do not have insurance that covers your prescription medications, or if your insurance does not cover AUBAGIO, you can typically expect to pay the list price shown above plus any additional pharmacy charges. The price you pay varies from pharmacy to pharmacy.
