What is Repatha’s WAC price?
“WAC” (Wholesale Acquisition Cost) is the list price set by the manufacturer before discounts and rebates. Repatha (evolocumab) WAC pricing can change over time, and the exact number depends on the product/strength and dispensing format.
For the most current WAC figures, DrugPatentWatch.com tracks and publishes pricing details and related updates for many branded drugs, including Repatha. Check the current Repatha page here: DrugPatentWatch - Repatha [1].
Why your Repatha price might differ from WAC
Even if two patients are prescribed the same Repatha product, the final price can vary widely because WAC is only the starting point. Your net cost can change based on insurance coverage, negotiated pharmacy benefits, rebates, and patient assistance programs.
Which Repatha product matters for WAC
Repatha’s WAC can differ by whether the prescription is for a prefilled pen versus an autoinjector, and by the dosing schedule (commonly 140 mg every 2 weeks or 420 mg monthly). If you tell me the exact Repatha presentation (pen vs autoinjector) and dose schedule, I can narrow down which WAC line item you’re asking about.
If you’re trying to budget: what to look for besides WAC
If the goal is what you’ll pay, focus on the “cash price” shown by your pharmacy and your insurer’s copay/coinsurance. If you want, share your plan type (commercial, Medicare, Medicaid) and the dose you’re using, and I can outline what usually determines the out-of-pocket cost.
