About REYATAZ and its cost

REYATAZ is a prescription medicine used in combination with other antiretroviral agents to treat human immunodeficiency virus type 1 infection in adults and pediatric patients who weigh at least 5 kilograms. It belongs to a class of drugs known as protease inhibitors, which work by blocking an enzyme that the virus needs to replicate within the body. By lowering the amount of the virus in the blood, this medication helps the immune system work better and reduces the risk of developing complications associated with the infection. It is important to understand that while REYATAZ helps manage the virus, it is not a cure for HIV or AIDS. The medication must be taken consistently as directed by a healthcare professional to maintain its effectiveness and prevent the virus from developing resistance to the drug. Patients should also inform their doctor about all other medications they are currently using, as this drug can interact with various other substances, potentially changing how well they work or causing side effects.

REYATAZ 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 REYATAZ?

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 REYATAZ?

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 REYATAZ?

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.
