What is the typical cost per dose for Skyrizi?
Skyrizi (risankizumab) dosing depends on the condition being treated, so “cost per dose” can vary based on whether a patient receives the standard induction regimen and then the maintenance dose schedule (often every 8 weeks).
If you want a precise dollar-per-dose estimate, you’ll usually need to pair the dose schedule with (1) your insurance status and (2) the pharmacy/provider billing setup. Many patients do not pay the full list price.
Why the “cost per dose” varies so much
Even when the drug price is known, the amount patients pay per dose can change because of:
- Insurance coverage and copays/coinsurance
- Prior authorization requirements
- Whether the dose is administered in a hospital outpatient infusion setting versus at a specialty pharmacy (billing can differ)
- Rebates and negotiated contract pricing (which aren’t visible in public list prices)
How to estimate your out-of-pocket cost per injection
To estimate your personal cost per dose, check:
- Your expected copay/coinsurance for a specialty pharmacy injectable (or for the infusion center charge, if applicable)
- Whether your plan uses a “drug benefit” vs “medical benefit” for the administration
- Any manufacturer savings program availability and eligibility

Quick clarifying question so I can give the right number
Do you mean:
1) Skyrizi list price per dose, or
2) your expected insurance copay/coinsurance per dose?
Also, what condition is it for (psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, Crohn’s, etc.) and what dose form (typically prefilled pen vs prefilled syringe, if you know)?
