About GOHIBIC and its cost

What is this medication? GOHIBIC, also known by its generic name vilobelimab, is a prescription medication authorized by the FDA for emergency use to treat COVID-19 in hospitalized adults. It is specifically intended for patients who have started receiving invasive mechanical ventilation or extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, which is also known as ECMO, within the last forty-eight hours. This medication is administered through an intravenous infusion by healthcare professionals in a hospital setting to help manage the most severe respiratory complications associated with the virus.

The medication works as a monoclonal antibody that targets and inhibits a specific protein in the immune system called complement factor C5a. By blocking this protein, GOHIBIC aims to reduce the excessive inflammation and immune system overreaction that can lead to organ damage and respiratory failure in critically ill patients. It is used alongside other standard medical treatments to improve the chances of survival for individuals experiencing life-threatening symptoms during their hospital stay.

GOHIBIC is made by InflaRx. 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 GOHIBIC?

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 GOHIBIC?

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

Does my Medicare Part D plan cover GOHIBIC?

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 Microscopic Polyangiitis?

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.
