Different insurance means different laws and different savings. For example, Medicare patients cannot use manufacturer copay cards (federal law) — but the manufacturer almost always has a Patient Assistance Program that gives the drug free.
About Cablivi and its cost
What is this medication? Cablivi, known by its generic name caplacizumab-yhdp, is a prescription medication used to treat adults with acquired thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura, commonly referred to as aTTP. This condition is a rare and life-threatening blood disorder that causes small blood clots to form in blood vessels throughout the body, potentially leading to organ failure or stroke. The medication is used alongside plasma exchange and immunosuppressive treatments to help manage these acute episodes.
The medication functions as a von Willebrand factor-directed antibody fragment, which means it works by preventing platelets from clumping together in the blood. By blocking the interaction between platelets and the von Willebrand factor protein, Cablivi reduces the formation of the microvascular clots that characterize aTTP. Treatment typically begins with an intravenous injection followed by daily subcutaneous injections during the period of plasma exchange and for thirty days thereafter.
Cablivi is made by Sanofi. 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 Cablivi?
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 Cablivi?
No — federal law (the Anti-Kickback Statute) prohibits manufacturer copay cards on Medicare, Medicaid, TriCare, and VA prescriptions. But Sanofi has a separate Patient Assistance Program for Medicare beneficiaries. Check the options above.
Does my Medicare Part D plan cover Cablivi?
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 Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura?
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.
