Padcev (enfortumab vedotin-ejfv) is one of the most effective treatments for urothelial cancer, but its cost is substantial. A single 20 mg vial has a cash price of approximately $2,793, and a 30 mg vial costs approximately $4,185. Given that patients receive two doses per 21-day cycle, the costs can quickly reach tens of thousands of dollars per month without assistance.

The good news: Astellas Pharma and other organizations offer meaningful financial assistance programs that can dramatically reduce what you pay out of pocket. Here's everything you need to know about saving money on Padcev in 2026.

What Does Padcev Cost Without Insurance?

Without insurance coverage, the cash price of Padcev is:

20 mg vial: approximately $2,793

30 mg vial: approximately $4,185

Most patients require one or more vials per dose, given twice per 21-day cycle. There is no generic version of Padcev (it is a biologic, not a small-molecule drug), and there are no GoodRx or SingleCare coupons available for infused biologics. Your savings options center on manufacturer programs and insurance-based support.

PADCEV Copay Assistance Program: $5 Per Dose for Eligible Patients

The most impactful savings program for commercially insured patients is the PADCEV Copay Assistance Program, offered by Astellas Pharma:

Copay reduction: Eligible patients may pay as little as $5 per dose

Annual maximum: Up to $25,000 per calendar year in copay assistance

Eligibility: Must have private commercial health insurance and NOT be covered by Medicare, Medicaid, TRICARE, VA, or other government programs

How to enroll: Contact PADCEV Support Solutions at 1-888-402-0627, Monday–Friday, 8:30 AM–8:00 PM ET, or visit astellaspharmasupportsolutions.com

PADCEV Patient Assistance Program (PAP): Free Drug for Uninsured Patients

If you are uninsured or your insurance does not cover Padcev, you may qualify for the PADCEV Patient Assistance Program (PAP), which provides Padcev at no cost:

No insurance or insurance that excludes Padcev coverage

Verifiable U.S. shipping address

Valid prescription for Padcev for an FDA-approved indication

Meet program financial eligibility requirements

Your healthcare provider initiates the PAP application. Once approved, Padcev is shipped directly to your provider's office. Contact 1-888-402-0627 to get started.

Medicare and Medicaid Patients: What Are Your Options?

The manufacturer copay program is not available to Medicare or Medicaid patients. However, other assistance may be available:

Medicare Part B: Padcev is typically covered under Medicare Part B (outpatient medical). Your 20% coinsurance after meeting the deductible may be significant — consider supplemental Medigap insurance to cover the gap.

Independent nonprofit foundations: Organizations including the Patient Advocate Foundation (PAF), CancerCare, the HealthWell Foundation, and the Patient Access Network (PAN) Foundation may offer co-pay assistance for Medicare/Medicaid patients with cancer diagnoses.

Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI): Patients with bladder cancer may qualify for SSDI and Medicare if unable to work — your cancer center's social worker can assist.

Pfizer Oncology Together: Additional Support

Because Padcev is co-commercialized with Pfizer, patients may also access support through Pfizer's Oncology Together program and Pfizer RxPathways, which connects eligible patients to insurance support, co-pay help, and free medications for qualifying patients. Visit pfizer.com/products/product-detail/padcev for details.

Other Ways to Reduce Your Padcev Costs

Choose an in-network infusion site: Facility fees vary significantly between hospital outpatient departments and independent infusion centers. In-network outpatient centers often have lower cost-sharing.

Appeal insurance denials: PA denials are not final. PADCEV Support Solutions helps with appeals documentation. First-level appeals succeed in many cases when complete clinical evidence is provided.

Ask your social worker: Most comprehensive cancer centers have oncology social workers who specialize in identifying additional financial assistance resources.

If you're struggling to locate a facility that accepts your insurance for Padcev administration, medfinder can help identify options near you.
