What does Injectafer (ferric carboxymaltose) cost?
The cost of Injectafer depends heavily on dose size, the number of doses a patient receives, the care setting (hospital vs. infusion center), and a patient’s insurance coverage and negotiated rates. Because those prices vary by payer and location, the most practical way to estimate “cost” is to look at the cash price (when available) and then compare it with the patient’s insurance/benefit coverage.
Can you use a cash-price estimate, and what numbers should you look for?
When patients ask “cost of Injectafer,” they’re usually trying to determine one of these:
- Cash price for a single infusion (common for uninsured or high-deductible plans)
- Total cost for a typical course of treatment (which may involve more than one dose)
- Out-of-pocket cost after insurance (copay/coinsurance and whether prior authorization is required)
To get the most accurate number for a specific situation, you’d generally need:
- Your prescribed dose (Injectafer is commonly given as either 750 mg per dose or 15 mg/kg dosing, depending on the indication and guideline used)
- Number of doses in the regimen
- Your infusion setting and location
- Whether your plan covers Injectafer under medical or pharmacy benefits

If you tell me a few details, can you estimate the likely cost range?
If you share:
1) your country (and ZIP/state if you want US pricing),
2) whether you’re asking for cash price or expected out-of-pocket cost,
3) the prescribed dosing (or whether it’s 750 mg x 2, etc.),
