How much does Yervoy cost per month?
The exact monthly cost for Yervoy (ipilimumab) depends on the dose prescribed, the patient’s weight, infusion frequency, and whether the price is based on list price or negotiated payer rates. Public sources typically track Yervoy’s pricing as a per-vial/pack figure (or list price), which then converts to a monthly total based on the treatment schedule.
If you want, tell me the dosing schedule your doctor uses (or the number of mg per infusion and how often), and I can estimate a monthly cost from the per-unit pricing.

What drives the monthly total for Yervoy?
Monthly cost can change mainly because:
- Dose is weight-based for many indications, so total mg per cycle varies from patient to patient.
- Yervoy schedules differ by indication (some regimens use a 3–4 week cycle, others combine or extend dosing).
- Payers often pay negotiated rates that can be far below publicly listed prices.
If I’m comparing with other immunotherapies, what should I compare?
When comparing monthly “cost per month,” patients and clinicians usually compare:
- Total cost per treatment cycle, then normalize by time (e.g., per month)
- Whether the regimen includes combination therapy (for example, Yervoy plus nivolumab)
- Duration to response and whether a regimen continues beyond the initial cycles
If you share the exact regimen (e.g., “mg per infusion” and “every X weeks”), I can help you translate the listed Yervoy price into an estimated per-month figure.
