How to Find Skyrizi (Risankizumab) In Stock Near You (Tools + Tips)

Finding Skyrizi (risankizumab-rzaa) in stock is a different challenge than finding a typical prescription drug. Because it's dispensed exclusively through specialty pharmacies — not standard retail locations — you can't just walk into a Walgreens or CVS and expect to pick it up. But with the right approach, most patients can locate a pharmacy that can fill their prescription.

Here's a step-by-step guide to finding Skyrizi in stock near you in 2026.

Step 1: Confirm Your Prior Authorization Is Approved

Before you can fill a Skyrizi prescription anywhere, you need your insurance company's prior authorization (PA) to be approved. Without a PA, virtually no specialty pharmacy will dispense the drug — the cost (~$22,383 per dose) is too high to dispense without confirmed coverage.

If you don't have a PA yet, contact your prescriber's office immediately. Ask them to submit a PA request and to confirm when it has been approved. PA approval can take 7 to 45 days depending on your insurance plan.

Step 2: Find Out Which Specialty Pharmacies Are In-Network

Your insurance company designates specific specialty pharmacies as "in-network" for coverage of specialty biologics like Skyrizi. Using an out-of-network pharmacy typically means paying full price. Call the member services number on the back of your insurance card and ask: "Which specialty pharmacies are in-network for Skyrizi?"

Common specialty pharmacy networks that dispense Skyrizi include Accredo (a Cigna company), CVS Specialty, Walgreens Specialty, AllianceRx Walgreens Prime, and Optum Specialty. Note that "CVS Specialty" and "Walgreens Specialty" are different divisions from regular retail locations and do handle Skyrizi.

Step 3: Enroll in Skyrizi Complete

AbbVie's Skyrizi Complete program provides dedicated patient support services — including help navigating the specialty pharmacy process. By calling 1-866-SKYRIZI (1-866-759-7494) and enrolling, you'll get a nurse educator and a case manager who can help identify pharmacies that can fill your prescription.

The Skyrizi Complete program also offers a savings card that can reduce your out-of-pocket costs to as little as $0 per dose for eligible commercially insured patients.

Step 4: Use medfinder to Locate a Pharmacy That Has Skyrizi

Even after you've confirmed your PA and identified in-network pharmacies, you may still need to verify which specific pharmacy currently has Skyrizi in stock and can fill your order. medfinder is a paid service that calls specialty pharmacies near you to find out which ones have your medication available and can fill your prescription. You provide your medication, dosage, and location — medfinder makes the calls and texts you the results.

This is particularly valuable for patients who don't want to spend hours on hold with specialty pharmacies — a common frustration for Skyrizi patients.

Step 5: Plan Ahead for Refills

Specialty pharmacies typically require advance scheduling for biologic refills. Start the refill process at least 2 to 3 weeks before your next dose is due — especially for Skyrizi, which is given every 12 weeks for psoriasis/PsA patients (or every 8 weeks for Crohn's and UC maintenance).

Also note that your PA may need to be renewed every 6 to 12 months. Check your renewal deadline well in advance — a lapsed PA can cause prescription delays even if you've been on the medication for years.

What If You Don't Have Insurance?

If you're uninsured or underinsured, Skyrizi's list price makes it unaffordable without assistance. Contact AbbVie's myAbbVie Assist patient assistance program at 1-800-222-6885. Based on your income and situation, you may qualify to receive Skyrizi at no charge directly from AbbVie.
