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 Livdelzi and its cost
What is this medication? Livdelzi is a prescription medication used for the treatment of primary biliary cholangitis, often referred to as PBC, in adult patients. PBC is a chronic liver disease where the small bile ducts are gradually destroyed, causing bile to build up in the liver and leading to potential inflammation and scarring. This medication is specifically indicated for individuals who have not had an adequate response to ursodeoxycholic acid, or UDCA, and it can also be used as a standalone treatment for those who cannot tolerate UDCA.
The drug functions as a peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor delta agonist, which means it targets specific pathways in the body to help regulate bile acid production and reduce liver inflammation. By managing these biological processes, Livdelzi aims to lower the levels of alkaline phosphatase, a common marker used to measure liver health and disease progression. It is intended to help manage the biochemical markers of the disease in adults who require additional therapy beyond standard first-line treatments.
Livdelzi is made by Gilead Sciences. 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 Livdelzi?
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 Livdelzi?
No — federal law (the Anti-Kickback Statute) prohibits manufacturer copay cards on Medicare, Medicaid, TriCare, and VA prescriptions. But Gilead Sciences has a separate Patient Assistance Program for Medicare beneficiaries. Check the options above.
Does my Medicare Part D plan cover Livdelzi?
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 Primary Biliary Cholangitis?
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.
