How to pay the least

Cash price

$9,540+ for 30 tablets

Pharmacies pay about this for Kisqali; you’d pay more.

  1. Ask your pharmacy for Kisqali’s cash price, and one or two other pharmacies too.
  2. Kisqali’s savings card works only with insurance from a job or one you bought.

Free from the maker, if you qualify Novartis Patient Assistance Foundation (NPAF). Patients must have a household income of less than or equal to $81,760 (for a household size of two) to be considered for NPAF. Or call 1-800-277-2254.

Maker’s card or discount card?

A discount card like GoodRx lowers the pharmacy’s cash price, but for a brand-name drug that price often stays high. Compare it with the maker’s card above. You can usually use one or the other on a fill, not both.

Authorized genericNot sold

There isn’t one. An authorized generic is Kisqali itself, from the same company, sold without the brand name, and usually for less. For now Kisqali is the only choice; its maker’s savings card can lower what you pay.

Regular genericNot sold

No generic is sold yet. Generics usually come once the brand’s patents and exclusivity end. Until then, the maker’s savings card is the way to pay less.
