About BILDYOS and its cost

What is this medication? Bimzelx is a prescription medication used for the treatment of moderate to severe plaque psoriasis in adult patients. It is intended for individuals who are candidates for systemic therapy, which involves medications that travel through the entire body, or phototherapy, which uses light to treat skin conditions. By targeting and inhibiting certain proteins in the body that cause inflammation, this medication helps to reduce the thickness, redness, and scaling of psoriasis plaques. The medication contains the active substance bimekizumab, a monoclonal antibody designed to block the actions of interleukin-17A and interleukin-17F. These specific cytokines play a significant role in the inflammatory processes that lead to the symptoms of psoriasis. Bimzelx is administered through subcutaneous injections, usually starting with an initial dosing phase followed by maintenance doses every few weeks. As with other biologic therapies, it is important for patients to be monitored for potential side effects and infections during the course of treatment.

BILDYOS is made by UCB. Like most brand-name drugs, it's priced at a high list price — but patients rarely pay that list price. The options above are the real paths most people use to get it affordably.

Common questions

What's the cheapest way to afford BILDYOS?

It depends on your insurance. On Medicare, apply for the manufacturer's Patient Assistance Program (PAP) — it gives the drug free if you meet income requirements. With private insurance, the manufacturer copay card usually drops your copay to $0-$25. Uninsured patients should compare the PAP with Cost Plus Drugs cash price.

Can I use a copay card with Medicare for BILDYOS?

No — federal law (the Anti-Kickback Statute) prohibits manufacturer copay cards on Medicare, Medicaid, TriCare, and VA prescriptions. But UCB has a separate Patient Assistance Program for Medicare beneficiaries. Check the options above.

Does my Medicare Part D plan cover BILDYOS?

Part D coverage varies by plan. We query the CMS Prescription Drug Plan file to show you what percentage of plans cover it and at what tier. For your exact copay, pick "Medicare" above and check your plan's Summary of Benefits, or log in to Medicare.gov.

How long does a Patient Assistance Program take?

Most PAPs take 2-6 weeks from application to first fill. Ask the manufacturer about a "bridge supply" — many will ship 30 days free while your application is being reviewed so you don't go without the drug.

What if I have a high-deductible plan?

For generics, Cost Plus Drugs cash price is often cheaper than your deductible-phase copay. For brand names, the manufacturer copay card almost always wins. A GoodRx coupon can be a last resort for uncovered drugs, but it doesn't count toward your deductible.

Are there charity grants for Prostate Cancer?

Charities like HealthWell Foundation, PAN Foundation, Good Days, and the National Organization for Rare Disorders provide copay help for specific conditions. Funds often run out mid-year — apply early. We list the specific grants for your condition in the options above.
