About Maraviroc and its cost

What is this medication? Maraviroc is an antiretroviral medication primarily prescribed for the treatment of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection. It is categorized as a CCR5 antagonist, a type of drug known as an entry inhibitor. Rather than targeting the virus itself, this medication works by blocking the CCR5 co-receptor on the surface of human immune cells. By occupying these sites, the drug prevents the virus from gaining entry into the cells, which helps to limit the spread of the infection and maintain a lower viral load.

This medication is used in combination with other antiretroviral drugs to provide a comprehensive treatment plan for patients. Before it is prescribed, a physician must perform a tropism test to confirm that the patient's specific strain of HIV uses the CCR5 receptor, as the drug will not work against virus strains that use different receptors. While maraviroc is effective at helping the immune system stay stronger and reducing the likelihood of secondary infections, it is not a cure for HIV. Patients are advised to follow their dosage schedule strictly to prevent the virus from developing resistance to the treatment.

Maraviroc is made by a pharmaceutical manufacturer. 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 Maraviroc?

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 Maraviroc?

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

Does my Medicare Part D plan cover Maraviroc?

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 HIV-1 Infection?

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.
