In the maker’s words

“Depending on insurance coverage, most eligible patients pay as little as $25 for a 30-, 60-, or 90-day supply of LIVALO.”

“Those with or without commercial health insurance (including cash-paying patients): The LIVALO® Savings Card (the Card) will save you on out-of-pocket costs (your co-pay) that exceed $25; maximum benefits apply.”

From the maker’s offer on livalorx.com, checked November 2, 2026. Co-pay cards can’t be used with Medicare (including Medicare Advantage), Medicaid, TRICARE or VA.

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 price 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 Livalo itself, from the same company, sold without the brand name, and usually for less. A regular generic is sold, with the same active ingredient: ask the pharmacy for its price.
