Is Paxlovid (Paxlovid) expensive if I don't have insurance?

Why does Paxlovid (Paxlovid) cost more in one country than the other?
Drug pricing is set separately in each country through different negotiation, regulatory, and distribution systems, so the same medication can legitimately carry different price tags on either side of the border. Check the comparison table above for the specific numbers on Paxlovid.
Is a generic version of Paxlovid available?
Generic and brand-name pricing for Paxlovid is broken out in the tables above where both exist in our data. Generic versions are typically the lower-cost option, but availability depends on the specific formulation and dosage.
What will I pay for Paxlovid with my health insurance?
The cost of Paxlovid with insurance depends entirely on your specific plan's formulary and benefit structure. Coverage is not universal, and your copay or coinsurance amount will vary. You should contact your insurance provider directly for details on whether Paxlovid is covered and your expected share of the cost. If your plan does not cover the medication or the out-of-pocket cost is high, you can explore other savings programs to help reduce the price at your pharmacy. For those with Medicare or Medicaid, coverage rules apply, and alternative savings options may be available if the prescription is not covered.
Can I get a generic version of Paxlovid?
No. Paxlovid is currently only available as a brand-name medication produced by Pfizer. A generic equivalent has not yet been approved for the market.
