How much does Lemtrada (alemtuzumab) cost?
Lemtrada pricing can vary a lot depending on country, dosing, and how the cost is handled (for example, through insurance, negotiated hospital/insurer rates, or patient-assistance programs). The information provided here does not include a specific, reliable public price for Lemtrada, so I can’t give a single “list price” number without risking inaccuracy.
Why is Lemtrada pricing hard to pin down?
Even for the same medicine, out-of-pocket totals can differ based on:
- Dose and treatment schedule (Lemtrada is given in limited treatment courses rather than continuous daily dosing).
- Where it’s dispensed (hospital/infusion center billing versus pharmacy).
- Insurance coverage and the negotiated rate between payers and providers.
- Rebates and manufacturer/copay assistance terms (when available).
If you want, tell me your country and insurance situation
To estimate what Lemtrada might cost you, share:
1) Your country (and state/province if relevant)
2) Whether you want the estimate for cash price, insurance copay, or total billed cost
3) Whether you’re looking for the cost per infusion, per course, or per year
