How to pay the least

Cash price

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

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

Free from the maker, if you qualify Pfizer Patient Assistance Program. Meet the income requirements – Your annual household pre-tax income cannot exceed 300% of the Federal Poverty Level, adjusted for household size. Or call 1-844-989-7284.

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 Velsipity itself, from the same company, sold without the brand name, and usually for less. For now Velsipity 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.
