How to pay the least

Ask for the cash price

Tecvayli

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

Free from the maker, if you qualify Johnson & Johnson Patient Assistance Program. Patients’ income must be equal to or less than 300% of Federal Poverty Level (FPL). Or call 1-833-742-0791.

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 Tecvayli itself, from the same company, sold without the brand name, and usually for less. For now Tecvayli is the only choice; its maker’s savings card can lower what you pay.

Regular genericNot sold

Tecvayli 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.
