What’s the annual cost of Tezspire (tezepelumab)?
Tezspire (tezepelumab) pricing isn’t consistent year to year or person to person because the total annual cost depends on the dose and whether insurance coverage, rebates, or patient assistance apply. The drug is typically billed per treatment cycle (and for many patients that means calculating the year based on the labeled dosing schedule), but the final out-of-pocket cost can vary widely by plan.

How is Tezspire dosed, and how does dosing affect annual cost?
Tezspire is administered as an injection in a fixed dose per weight-independent regimen (so annual totals generally come down to how many injections occur per year under the prescribed schedule, rather than dose changes for weight). If you know your prescribed injection frequency and strength, you can convert that into an annual treatment total and then apply your insurer’s allowed amount and copay/coinsurance terms.
If you share the dosing schedule your prescriber uses (e.g., every 4 weeks, every 8 weeks) and your insurance setup (commercial, Medicare, Medicaid), I can help you translate that into an annual cost estimate framework.
What might patients actually pay per year with insurance vs without?
Patients’ annual spending usually falls into three buckets:
- Uninsured/self-pay: closer to the wholesale acquisition cost or cash price, which can be very high.
- Commercial insurance: annual out-of-pocket cost depends on the plan’s specialty drug rules, deductible status, and copays/coinsurance.
- Assistance programs: copay support (for eligible commercially insured patients) or other manufacturer/coverage pathways can significantly reduce what patients pay.
Because you asked for “annual cost,” the key missing variable is whether you want:
- the approximate total annual therapy cost (payer/allowed amount), or
- your expected yearly out-of-pocket cost.
Where can you find Tezspire’s price and calculate an annual estimate?
If you want a quick way to build an estimate, the practical workflow is:
1) Identify the treatment frequency your clinician prescribed.
2) Find the billed price per dose (or the insurer’s “allowed amount” if you have it on your EOB).
3) Multiply by the number of doses per year.
4) Apply your plan’s cost-sharing (copay/coinsurance) and any deductible remaining.
