What’s Skyrizi’s cost in the US (and why it varies so much)?
Skyrizi (risankizumab) pricing isn’t a single number customers can rely on. The amount you pay depends on factors like your insurance plan, the pharmacy channel, whether the dose is given as a 150 mg injection or as an infusion schedule, and what discounts or patient-assistance programs apply. Because of these variables, the “sticker price” often differs from what patients actually pay.

How much do patients typically pay out of pocket?
Out-of-pocket cost typically ranges widely based on:
- Insurance coverage (deductible, coinsurance, copay structure)
- Whether you’re using a specialty pharmacy
- Prior authorization requirements
- Whether you qualify for manufacturer support or other assistance
If you tell me your country (US/UK/Canada/etc.) and whether you mean “cash price” or “insurance copay,” I can narrow down what to look for and how to estimate your likely total cost.
Does “cost price” mean the wholesale price, the pharmacy price, or the patient price?
People use “cost price” to mean different things:
- Wholesale acquisition cost (WAC): list/industry reference price
- Pharmacy cash price: what a pharmacy charges without insurance
- Patient out-of-pocket: what you pay after insurance and assistance
Which one do you mean? If you share:
1) your country,
2) whether you have insurance, and
3) your dose form (pen vs infusion, if you know it),
I can point you to the most relevant price reference to use.
