How to pay the least

Ask for the cash price

Praluent

Praluent 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 Praluent’s cash price, and one or two other pharmacies too.
  2. Praluent’s savings card works only with insurance from a job or one you bought.

Free from the maker, if you qualify MyPRALUENT Patient Assistance Program. Maximum income level to qualify for PAP (300% of the FPL) Or call 1-844-772-5836 (Option 1).

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.

Brand nameTrumpRx.gov price

Optum Perks, Optum’s free discount coupon, lists these prices for Praluent without insurance. Show the coupon from its page at the pharmacy; it can’t be used with insurance.

Authorized genericNot sold

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

Regular genericNot sold

Praluent 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, the maker’s savings card is the way to pay less.
