Average cost of skyrizi?

What is the average cost of Skyrizi (risankizumab)?

The average cost of Skyrizi depends heavily on whether you mean the list price (the manufacturer’s cash price), or what patients actually pay after insurance coverage, copays, and pharmacy benefit negotiations. The price can also vary by the dose and how often it’s given (typical treatment schedules differ between the first doses and maintenance doses).

What drives big differences in Skyrizi’s “average” price?

“Average cost” usually shifts because:
- Insurance status (commercial insurance vs. Medicare/Medicaid vs. uninsured).
- Administration setting (buy-and-bill vs. specialty pharmacy).
- Dose schedule (induction vs. maintenance dosing changes total monthly/annual spend).
- Country and currency (US pricing vs. other markets).

If you’re asking what patients pay, not the sticker price

Patient out-of-pocket cost is typically much lower than the manufacturer’s list price, but it can still be high without coverage. If you tell me:
- your country (and if US, whether you have Medicare/commercial insurance),
- whether you’re looking for monthly cost or per injection cost,
- and the approximate dosing schedule your prescriber uses,
I can help narrow what “average” likely means for your situation.
