How much does Kcentra (prothrombin complex concentrate) cost?
Kcentra’s cost depends heavily on the dose (which is based on weight), the number of vials needed per treatment, and local pharmacy/provider pricing. Pricing also varies by country and whether the product is bought under a hospital contract or billed through a specific payer system.
I don’t have the specific dollar price for Kcentra in the provided information, so I can’t state an exact figure.
How are Kcentra prices typically calculated?
Kcentra dosing is weight-based, so total cost usually scales with patient weight. The billing amount in practice is driven by:
- number of vials supplied per dose, and
- the administered strength (per vial packaging) at the time of purchase.
Because of this, two hospitals can show different “per patient” costs even for the same indication if their acquisition price or vial usage differs.

Why does Kcentra cost vary so much across hospitals and payers?
Common reasons include:
- contract pricing vs list pricing,
- hospital formulary status and pharmacy markups,
- payer reimbursement rules and preferred product policies,
- availability and substitution practices (where clinically allowed).
If you tell me your country (and whether you mean wholesale acquisition cost, typical hospital billed cost per dose, or an out-of-pocket cash price), I can tailor the answer to the right pricing type.
