Briviact costs over $1,500/month without insurance. Learn how to save with coupons, discount cards, the UCB savings program, and patient assistance.
If you take Briviact (Brivaracetam) for seizures, you already know it's not cheap. With a list price of approximately $1,511 per month for a 30-day supply of brand-name tablets, Briviact is one of the more expensive antiepileptic drugs on the market. Without insurance or financial assistance, that cost can be overwhelming.
The good news is that there are several ways to significantly reduce what you pay for Briviact. In this guide, we'll walk you through every option — from manufacturer savings cards to patient assistance programs to generic alternatives.
Let's start with the numbers so you know what you're working with:
These prices reflect the full retail or "cash" price — what you'd pay without any insurance or discount. The actual amount you pay depends on your insurance plan, pharmacy, and whether you use any of the savings strategies below.
This is the single best way to save on Briviact if you have commercial (private) insurance.
If you're commercially insured, this should be your first stop. The savings are substantial — going from potentially hundreds of dollars per month to just $10.
If you don't have insurance or your insurance doesn't cover Briviact, prescription discount cards can help reduce the cash price. These are free to use and accepted at most pharmacies.
Important note: Discount cards offer modest savings on brand-name Briviact (typically 5-15% off cash price). The real savings come when generic Brivaracetam becomes more widely available — discount cards on generics can save 50-80% or more.
If you are uninsured or underinsured and cannot afford Briviact, the UCBCares Patient Assistance Program may provide the medication at no cost.
Patient assistance programs like this one are an incredible resource for people who truly cannot afford their medication. Don't hesitate to reach out — these programs exist specifically to help.
One of the most significant developments for Briviact affordability is the FDA approval of generic Brivaracetam. Multiple manufacturers — including Aurobindo, Lupin, MSN, Sunshine, and Zydus — have received approval to make generic versions.
As generic distribution expands through 2026, prices should continue to drop, making this medication much more accessible.
Here are additional strategies to reduce your Briviact costs:
Many insurance plans offer lower copays for 90-day supplies through mail-order pharmacies. This can save you money compared to monthly fills at a retail pharmacy, and you won't have to worry about finding it in stock locally. Contact your insurance company to learn about mail-order options.
Prices for Briviact can vary significantly between pharmacies — sometimes by hundreds of dollars. Use Medfinder to check availability and compare options in your area. Also check prices at Costco, which often has competitive pricing even for non-members.
In some cases, higher-strength tablets may cost the same as lower-strength tablets. If your doctor approves, you might be able to split a higher-dose tablet to effectively cut your cost. However, never split pills without your doctor's explicit approval, as this doesn't work for all medications or formulations.
If your insurance denies coverage for Briviact, you have the right to appeal. Work with your neurologist's office to submit an appeal with clinical documentation explaining why Briviact is medically necessary for you. Common successful appeal arguments include:
Briviact is an expensive medication, but nobody should have to choose between seizure control and their budget. Start with the UCB Savings Card if you have commercial insurance — it can bring your cost down to just $10 per month. If you're uninsured, the UCBCares Patient Assistance Program may provide Briviact at no cost. And keep an eye on generic Brivaracetam availability, which should bring prices down significantly in the coming months.
