How to pay the least

Ask for the cash price

Zevalin

Zevalin 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 Zevalin’s cash price, and one or two other pharmacies too.

Brand nameNo maker’s card

We didn’t find a savings card or cash price from Zevalin’s maker. Ask the pharmacy for Zevalin’s cash price. With insurance, ask what your plan charges.

Authorized genericNot sold

There isn’t one. An authorized generic is Zevalin itself, from the same company, sold without the brand name, and usually for less. For now Zevalin is the only choice; ask the pharmacy for its cash price, or your plan what it charges.

Regular genericNot sold

Zevalin 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, ask the pharmacy for Zevalin’s cash price, or your plan what it charges.
