Coupons and savings

Here are a few things to consider that may help you save money on your Mavyret prescription:

• Comparing pharmacies: The price of Mavyret may vary depending on which pharmacy you use, so it can help to compare prices across pharmacies to find the lowest cost.
• Drug coupons: You may be able to find drug coupons on prescription discount websites that can reduce the cost of your medication. These coupons cannot be used with insurance copays or benefits, but the discounted price may be lower than what you’d pay through insurance.
• Financial assistance: Some websites provide details about drug assistance programs, ways to make the most of your insurance coverage, and links to savings cards and other services. (See the “Financial and insurance assistance” section.)

Brand name vs. generic

Mavyret only comes as a brand-name drug. It’s not currently available in a generic version. A generic contains an exact copy of the active drug in a brand-name medication but tends to cost less.

Why is there such a cost difference between brand-name drugs and generics?

Years of research and testing are needed to ensure that brand-name drugs are safe and effective. This testing can make the drugs expensive. The manufacturer of a brand-name drug can sell the drug for up to 20 years. After that, other drugmakers can create generic versions. This competition in the market can lead to lower costs for generics. And because generics have the same active ingredients as brand-name drugs, they don’t need to be studied again. This can also lead to lower generic costs.

Ways to reduce long-term drug costs

Mavyret may be available through specialty pharmacies only, and the duration of your treatment with Mavyret may be limited. So, some ways to save on medications — such as using a mail-order pharmacy or requesting a 90-day supply of the drug — may not apply to Mavyret.

For details about how to obtain Mavyret, talk with your doctor.

Insurance considerations

If you have insurance and are prescribed Mavyret, your insurance company may require prior authorization before it covers some of the cost of the drug. This means the company and your doctor will discuss the drug in regard to your treatment. The insurance company will then determine whether Mavyret is covered.

If a drug requires prior authorization, but you start treatment without the prior approval, you could pay the full cost of the medication. You can ask your insurance company whether Mavyret requires prior authorization.
