What does Xofigo (radium Ra 223 dichloride) cost?
No single “Xofigo price” applies everywhere because the final cost depends on the country, pharmacy/provider contracts, treatment setting, dosing schedule, and insurance coverage. In most markets, the price is negotiated through national pricing rules or payer agreements rather than published as a one-size-fits-all retail rate.
How is Xofigo usually billed (per dose vs per course)?
Xofigo is typically prescribed and billed as a treatment course based on scheduled administrations rather than as a one-off purchase. That means what you pay is often determined by your billing structure (drug cost per administration plus related provider/infusion or administration charges) and by whether your insurer covers the full course or requires prior authorization.
What can patients do to find the exact out-of-pocket cost?
To get the actual out-of-pocket number, you generally need:
- Your prescribed schedule (number of doses and timing)
- Your insurer plan details (deductible, copay/coinsurance, prior authorization rules)
- The treating site (hospital/clinic) that dispenses or administers the drug
- Whether assistance programs apply in your country
If you tell me your country (and whether you mean cash price, insured copay estimate, or wholesale/“list” price), I can narrow the question to the most relevant pricing pathway.
Does Xofigo have a generic or biosimilar price alternative?
Xofigo is a targeted radiopharmaceutical product; the availability of lower-cost alternatives depends on your region and whether any authorized competitors have entered the market. Even when alternatives exist, prices and coverage vary by payer and timing.
What affects Xofigo’s total cost beyond the drug price?
Total patient cost often changes because of:
- Prior authorization and formulary status
- Infusion/admin fees at the treatment center
- Hospital billing versus outpatient/clinic billing
- Patient-specific eligibility for the indication being treated (which can affect dosing duration)
Quick questions so I can give the most useful “price” answer
1) What country are you in?
2) Are you asking for uninsured cash price, insured copay estimate, or list/wholesale price?
3) Do you know how many doses your doctor plans (or the start date)?
