UCB Direct
Paying cash, no insurance
from $84.99 a month
“UCB Direct enables patients to consistently access branded VIMPAT at a discounted cash price for every fill, offering a 1-month supply of VIMPAT for $84.99, or a 3-month supply for $239.97.”
From the maker’s offer on ucbdirect.com, checked September 24, 2026. Check the maker’s page for who can use it.
Discount cards like GoodRx take money off the pharmacy’s cash price. For a brand-name drug, that price is often still high. Paying cash, the maker’s own price is from $84.99 a month.
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.
