What does Fetroja (cefiderocol) cost?
Pricing for Fetroja (cefiderocol) depends on the dosage, treatment length, pharmacy/wholesaler contract, and whether the patient has commercial insurance, Medicare, or Medicaid. Public sources that list a single, fixed “retail” price are limited, and actual patient cost can differ from the wholesale acquisition cost (WAC) or negotiated rates.
If you’re trying to estimate cost for a course of therapy, tell me the dose (mg), frequency, and how many days your regimen lasts, and I can help you translate that into an approximate total drug amount.

Why you might see different Fetroja prices
Different numbers across websites usually reflect one of these factors:
- Different price types: WAC vs. contract prices vs. patient cash prices.
- Different package sizes or billing units (per vial, per dose, per day).
- Hospital vs. retail pharmacy purchasing practices.
- Insurance coverage and prior authorization requirements.
If you mean “how much does a patient pay?”
Patient out-of-pocket cost is driven by:
- Insurance plan formulary tier and prior authorization status
- Deductible and co-insurance
- Whether the treatment is administered in a hospital (often billed under medical benefit) vs. dispensed for home use
If you share your payer type (commercial/Medicare/Medicaid) and the dose schedule, I can point you to the most relevant way to estimate your cost (WAC-based vs. copay-based).
Can help: what exact price do you want?
Reply with one of the following so I can target the right number:
1) WAC/wholesale price per vial (or per mg)
2) Estimated total cost for a typical treatment course
3) Your expected copay/coinsurance (tell me plan type and dose/day)
