Leqvio costs over $3,600 per injection. Here's how the Leqvio Co-Pay Program, Novartis patient assistance, and Medicare coverage can reduce your costs to $0.

Leqvio (inclisiran) has a list price of approximately $3,652–$3,731 per injection. At two injections per year (after the loading phase), that's over $7,000 annually at full price. But most patients pay far less than that — and many pay nothing. Here's a complete breakdown of every savings option available in 2026.

How Much Does Leqvio Actually Cost?

Leqvio's retail price is approximately $3,652–$3,731 for a single 284 mg/1.5 mL prefilled syringe. The first year requires three injections (Month 0, Month 3, Month 9), making the first-year list price roughly $9,750–$11,200. After year one, it's two injections per year, or about $7,300–$7,500 annually.

There is no generic version of Leqvio available as of 2026. However, insurance and patient assistance programs dramatically reduce what most patients actually pay.

Option 1: The Leqvio Co-Pay Program (Commercial Insurance)

If you have commercial (employer or private) insurance, you may be eligible for the Leqvio Co-Pay Program, which can reduce your out-of-pocket cost to as little as $0 per treatment. No financial information is required to enroll.

How to enroll:

  • Visit leqvio.com and click on the savings section
  • Call the Leqvio Service Center at 1-833-537-8462
  • Ask your doctor's office to enroll you when setting up your prior authorization

Important: The Co-Pay Program is not valid for patients with Medicare, Medicaid, or any government-funded healthcare programs. Per-treatment maximums and an annual benefit cap apply.

Option 2: What Most Insurance Patients Actually Pay

Even without the co-pay card, Leqvio is covered generously by most commercial insurance plans. According to Novartis:

  • 92% of patients with insurance have confirmed medical benefit coverage
  • 75% of commercial insurance patients pay less than $10 per treatment
  • More than 50% pay $0 per treatment

Leqvio is billed under the medical benefit (not the pharmacy benefit), using HCPCS code J1306. This means it goes through your medical insurance the same way an in-office procedure does, rather than running through a pharmacy.

Option 3: Medicare Coverage for Leqvio

Medicare typically covers Leqvio under Part B as a physician-administered drug. After meeting the Part B deductible ($257 in 2025), Medicare pays 80% of the allowed amount. Patients with a Medigap supplemental plan (like Plan G or Plan N) may have their 20% coinsurance covered, potentially bringing their out-of-pocket cost to $0.

Medicare Advantage plans generally also cover Leqvio, but coverage terms vary. Always check your specific plan before scheduling your injection. The Leqvio Co-Pay Card is NOT available to Medicare patients.

Option 4: Novartis Patient Assistance Foundation

For patients who are uninsured or underinsured and meet income eligibility requirements, the Novartis Patient Assistance Foundation may provide Leqvio at no charge. To apply:

  • Visit pap.novartis.com
  • Call the Leqvio Service Center at 1-833-537-8462

Eligibility is based on household income and lack of adequate insurance coverage. Applications require proof of income and a doctor's prescription.

Option 5: NeedyMeds and Other Assistance Resources

NeedyMeds.org is a free database that can help you identify additional patient assistance programs for Leqvio. Organizations like the Patient Advocate Foundation and RxAssist may also provide financial assistance or guidance for accessing high-cost specialty drugs.

Will Leqvio Have a Generic?

Not anytime soon. Leqvio is a biologic-class drug (siRNA), and biosimilar development timelines for biologics are typically 10–15 years after initial approval. There is no generic or biosimilar inclisiran expected before the early 2030s.

Bottom Line: What You'll Likely Pay

Most commercially insured patients pay $0–$10 per injection thanks to the Co-Pay Program and strong medical benefit coverage. Medicare patients with Medigap often pay $0. Only truly uninsured patients need to worry about the retail list price — and the Novartis PAP can help even them.

Finding a clinic near you that administers Leqvio is just as important as managing costs. medfinder can call providers in your area to find out who has Leqvio in stock and can schedule your injection.
