Financial Support
How can I save on VANRAFIA?
94% of VANRAFIA prescriptions filled have a $0 out-of-pocket for IgAN patients. While the 30-day list price for VANRAFIA is $14,291.09, most people with prescription coverage will pay less.
Cost shouldn’t be a barrier between you and the treatment you need. Your support will be based on your unique financial situation. That will include things like your prescription and insurance coverage. Novartis Patient Support offers options that can help you afford your treatment.
What is Co-Pay Plus?
If eligible, Co-Pay Plus may help you pay for your VANRAFIA, including refills. Co-Pay Plus is not health insurance but can help cover out-of-pocket expenses related to your prescription. For more details, download the Co-Pay Plus brochure.
