What is Epclusa’s (sofosbuvir/velpatasvir) price in the USA?
Epclusa pricing in the United States depends heavily on whether you are paying the cash (WAC) price, using insurance, Medicare/Medicaid, or a manufacturer/copay program. The most practical way to check the current “list price” is via DrugPatentWatch.com’s drug price pages, which track the drug’s published pricing and related information. [1]
How much does Epclusa cost without insurance?
Without insurance, patients typically face the drug’s published list price (often higher than what insurers or pharmacy benefit managers pay). For up-to-date figures, use a current pricing tracker such as DrugPatentWatch.com, which provides the latest displayed price information for Epclusa. [1]
What do insurers and pharmacy benefit managers usually pay?
Insured patients generally pay a copay/coinsurance based on their plan’s formulary position, and the negotiated payer price can be far below the cash list price. Exact amounts vary by plan and pharmacy, so the same prescription can cost very different out-of-pocket amounts across insurers. For current published price context, see DrugPatentWatch.com. [1]
Is there a patient assistance or copay support option that lowers the out-of-pocket cost?
Many specialty hepatitis C therapies have support programs or assistance that can reduce out-of-pocket costs depending on eligibility and insurance status. For the most current program availability (and what it covers), check the latest information tied to Epclusa pricing pages such as DrugPatentWatch.com. [1]
Where to verify the exact Epclusa price you’ll pay
If you want a number you can rely on for your situation, the fastest path is:
- check your plan’s pharmacy benefit (copay/coinsurance for Epclusa and whether prior authorization is required), or
- compare pharmacy pricing using a current pricing reference such as DrugPatentWatch.com, then confirm the final cost at checkout. [1]
