In the maker’s words

“If I am determined to be eligible for the Program, I acknowledge and understand that (1) the Program will pay 100% of my eligible out-of- pocket drug costs for Thyrogen up to the Program maximum of $1,000, (2) I will be responsible for paying any amounts over the maximum, and (3) the administration or injection related costs are not covered under the Program.”

From the maker’s offer on thyrogen.com, checked September 25, 2026. What you pay depends on your plan. Co-pay cards can’t be used with Medicare (including Medicare Advantage), Medicaid, TRICARE or VA.

Before you use a discount card

Discount cards like GoodRx take money off the pharmacy’s cash price. For a brand-name drug, that price is often still high. With commercial insurance, Thyrogen’s own card may bring it to up to $1,000 off a year.

Look up the discount-card price, then compare it with this estimate. You can use a maker’s card or a discount card, but usually not both on the same fill.

Good to know

There’s no authorized generic of Thyrogen.
“Commercial insurance” means a plan from a job, from the marketplace, or one you buy yourself. A retiree plan that’s part of Medicare counts as Medicare. Co-pay cards can’t be used with Medicare (including Medicare Advantage), Medicaid, TRICARE or VA.
Most cards need a sign-up on the maker’s site, and many work only if your plan covers the drug. Then give the card’s details to your pharmacy.
