What does Skyrizi cost per dose or per year?
Skyrizi (risankizumab-rzaa) pricing depends heavily on your health plan, the pharmacy that dispenses it, and whether you’re using a manufacturer patient program. Public, exact “out-of-pocket” prices are often not available because most costs are negotiated between insurers and pharmacy benefit managers.
Why does Skyrizi price vary so much?
Your final cost can change based on:
- Your insurance type (commercial vs. Medicare/Medicaid)
- Whether you get it through a specialty pharmacy
- Your deductible/coinsurance and whether you’ve met them
- Your injection schedule and whether you’re prescribed the every-12-week maintenance dosing after initial loading
How can you find the most accurate price for your situation?
The quickest way to get a realistic cost estimate is to check:
- Your specialty pharmacy or insurer’s “drug cost” estimate for Skyrizi
- Any eligible patient assistance or copay support options tied to Skyrizi

What’s the typical dosing schedule that affects total cost?
Skyrizi dosing is commonly structured with initial doses followed by maintenance doses spaced out over time. Because total treatment cost follows the number of doses you’re given, asking your prescriber/pharmacist for the dosing schedule on your prescription is the key first step before estimating total annual cost.
If you tell me your details, I can estimate your likely out-of-pocket range
If you share:
1) your country (and whether you’re in the US),
2) your insurance type (commercial/Medicare/Medicaid/uninsured),
3) whether you’re getting the starter dosing and then maintenance,
4) your expected dose form (injection) and frequency,
I can help you figure out what to ask for and how to approximate your likely total cost.
