Without insurance or additional assistance, this would work out to an annual cost of just over $83,000 per year. This is because Ocrevus is given initially as 2 separate infusions of 300 mg, 2 weeks apart. Then 1 infusion of 600 mg every 6 months.

People with commercial or private insurance may be eligible for Ocrevus Co-Pay assistance and pay as little as $0 per infusion. Co-pay assistance is provided up to $1,500 per calendar year in the first year and up to $1,000 each calendar year after.

If you have Medicare your cost for a year of Ocrevus may range between $0 and $15,772. Almost half of people with Medicare pay $0.

If you have Medicaid your cost for a year of Ocrevus may be minimal but the specific amount depends on your income level and state regulations.

If you are unable to afford Ocrevus, you may be able to apply for additional assistance through the Genentech Patient Foundation. The foundation provides Ocrevus for free to people who have been prescribed this medicine and don’t have insurance or who have financial concerns and meet certain eligibility criteria.

There may be additional costs associated with the administration of Ocrevus, depending on your health care provider and the location of the infusion.
