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 PIVYA and its cost

PIVYA is a prescription antibiotic medication that contains the active ingredient pivmecillinam. It belongs to a group of drugs known as penicillins, specifically classified as an amidinopenicillin. This medication works by interfering with the synthesis of the bacterial cell wall, which eventually leads to the death of the bacteria causing an infection. It was recently approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to provide an additional treatment option for specific bacterial infections in female adults. This medication is specifically indicated for the treatment of female adults who have uncomplicated urinary tract infections, which are commonly referred to as UTIs. These infections are typically caused by susceptible isolates of bacteria such as Escherichia coli, Proteus mirabilis, and Staphylococcus saprophyticus. PIVYA is intended to treat only bacterial infections and is not effective against viral infections like the common cold or flu. It is important for patients to complete the full course of the medication as prescribed by their healthcare provider to ensure the infection is effectively treated.

PIVYA is made by Utility. 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 PIVYA?

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 PIVYA?

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

Does my Medicare Part D plan cover PIVYA?

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 Hypertension?

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.
