How to Save Money on Uzedy in 2026: Coupons, Discounts, and Patient Assistance

Uzedy (risperidone extended-release injectable suspension) is an effective long-acting antipsychotic — but its price tag is a serious concern for many patients. The list price of Uzedy ranges from approximately $1,232 to over $3,080 per month, depending on the dose. Without the right savings tools, out-of-pocket costs can be prohibitive. This guide covers every legitimate option for reducing what you pay for Uzedy in 2026.

What Does Uzedy Cost Without Insurance?

Uzedy's Wholesale Acquisition Cost (WAC) — its list price — ranges from approximately $1,232 to $3,080 per month for the once-monthly doses, and can reach over $6,600 for the 250 mg every-2-month dose. Actual prices vary by pharmacy and dosage. No generic version of Uzedy's subcutaneous formulation is available, so there is no lower-cost generic substitution option.

Savings Option 1: Teva's Uzedy Savings Offer ($0 per Dose for Eligible Patients)

Teva offers a savings program for Uzedy that may allow eligible commercially insured patients to pay as little as $0 per dose. This is the most important savings program to know about.

Who qualifies: Patients with commercial (private) insurance who have an active prescription for Uzedy.

Who does NOT qualify: Patients covered by Medicare, Medicaid, or any other federal or state government insurance program are not eligible for this commercial savings offer.

How to enroll: Call 1-800-887-8100 (Monday–Friday, 9 AM–8 PM ET) or visit Uzedy.com. Enrollment can be done over the phone with a Teva Total Support representative.

Savings Option 2: Patient Assistance Programs (PAPs) for Uninsured Patients

If you are uninsured or underinsured and cannot afford Uzedy, Patient Assistance Programs (PAPs) may provide the medication at no cost or significantly reduced cost. Several PAPs cover Uzedy:

Teva's Patient Assistance Program: Available for eligible uninsured or underinsured patients who meet income criteria. Contact Teva Total Support at 1-800-887-8100 for details.

NeedyMeds.org: Search for Uzedy at needymeds.org to find current PAP options and eligibility requirements.

RxAssist: RxAssist.org aggregates manufacturer PAPs and may have current Uzedy program information.

Savings Option 3: Medicare and Medicaid Coverage

Since Uzedy is typically administered in a clinical setting, it is usually billed under Medicare Part B (medical benefit) rather than Part D (pharmacy benefit). Under Medicare Part B, patients generally owe 20% coinsurance after meeting the annual deductible. Supplemental Medigap plans may cover this coinsurance. For Medicare patients who cannot afford their Uzedy costs, the Medicare Extra Help (Low Income Subsidy) program may help reduce out-of-pocket expenses.

For Medicaid patients, Uzedy coverage and copay structure depend on your state's Medicaid formulary. Some state Medicaid programs cover Uzedy; others may require step therapy (trying another LAI first) or prior authorization. Contact your state Medicaid office or your prescriber's office for assistance.

Savings Option 4: 340B Drug Pricing (For Qualifying Facilities)

If you receive Uzedy at a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC), community health center, or other 340B-covered entity, you may benefit from 340B discounted drug pricing. Under 340B, qualifying facilities can purchase Uzedy at a significantly reduced price, and these savings may be passed on to eligible patients — particularly those who are uninsured or on Medicaid.

Can GoodRx or SingleCare Help With Uzedy?

Because Uzedy is administered in a clinical setting (not dispensed directly to patients to take home), traditional retail pharmacy discount programs like GoodRx or SingleCare coupons generally do not apply to Uzedy in the same way they work for oral medications. These programs work best for medications picked up at retail pharmacies. For Uzedy, the manufacturer savings offer and PAPs are your primary cost-reduction tools.

Tips to Maximize Your Savings

Enroll in Teva Total Support before your first injection to get savings set up from the start.

If you have Medicare and Uzedy is billed through Part B, make sure your Medigap policy covers Part B coinsurance.

If you are uninsured, ask your clinic or psychiatrist about 340B pricing and whether their facility qualifies.

If the every-2-month dosing schedule works for your treatment, consider that it may reduce the total number of doses per year (6 injections vs. 12), which could affect total annual cost.

Still Can't Access Uzedy Due to Cost or Availability?

If cost is the barrier, explore the savings programs above and work with your prescriber. If availability is the barrier, medfinder can help locate pharmacies that can fill your Uzedy prescription near you. Visit medfinder.com to get started.
