How to pay the least

Ask for the cash price

Elitek

Elitek is a biologic. Biologics don’t have generics, but some have biosimilars or an unbranded version from the same maker. Ask your pharmacist or prescriber whether one is sold.

  1. Ask your pharmacy for Elitek’s cash price, and one or two other pharmacies too.

Free from the maker, if you qualify Sanofi Patient Connection (Patient Assistance Connection). You must have an annual household income of ≤400% of the current Federal Poverty Level. Or call 1-888-847-4877.

Brand nameNo maker’s card

We didn’t find a savings card or cash price from Elitek’s maker. Ask the pharmacy for Elitek’s cash price. With insurance, ask what your plan charges.

Authorized genericNot sold

There isn’t one. An authorized generic is Elitek itself, from the same company, sold without the brand name, and usually for less. For now Elitek is the only choice; ask the pharmacy for its cash price, or your plan what it charges.

Regular genericNot sold

Elitek is a biologic. Biologics don’t have generics, but some have biosimilars or an unbranded version from the same maker. Ask your pharmacist or prescriber whether one is sold. Generics usually come once the brand’s patents and exclusivity end. Until then, ask the pharmacy for Elitek’s cash price, or your plan what it charges.
