Question

Turalio+cost?

Accepted Answer

Turalio (erdafitinib) – What you can expect to pay

Item	What you’ll see	Typical U.S. numbers (2024)
Manufacturer’s list price	The “sticker price” you’ll find on the drug’s label or manufacturer website.	≈ $25,000–$30,000 per month (about $750–$900 per dose).
Typical insurance coverage	Most commercial plans cover a large portion of the drug, often 80–90 % after a deductible.	Out‑of‑pocket costs after insurance: $200–$1,000/month for many patients.
Government plans	Medicare Part D, Medicaid, or state plans usually negotiate discounts.	Out‑of‑pocket can drop to $100–$500/month depending on plan generosity.
Manufacturer assistance	Turalio’s patient‑assistance program (PAP) offers copay support or full coverage for those who qualify.	Could reduce monthly cost to $0–$50/month for qualifying patients.
Other help	Pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs), patient‑assistance cards, or “generic‑only” programs can lower cost further.	Some patients report paying as low as $50–$150/month with help.

Check your insurance plan – Look at the drug formulary and the co‑payment tiers. If Turalio is on the “specialty” tier, you’ll likely see a higher out‑of‑pocket amount.
Ask about the patient‑assistance program – Call the number on your prescription label or visit the manufacturer’s website. You’ll need proof of income, insurance, and sometimes a diagnosis letter.
Compare pharmacy options – Some specialty pharmacies offer co‑pay cards or lower dispensing fees. Be sure the pharmacy is covered by your insurance or can file a claim.
Talk to your oncology team – Oncologists often have experience negotiating discounts or connecting patients with financial counselors.
Stay updated – Drug prices can change. Checking the latest price on the manufacturer’s website or a reputable drug‑price comparison site (e.g., GoodRx, PharmacyChecker) can help you see if a lower price is available.
