Humira (adalimumab) is one of the most expensive medicines in the United States. Its list price can be high without insurance. Savings programs, patient assistance, and biosimilars may lower the cost.
This guide explains Humira's cash price, lower-cost biosimilars, the Humira Complete savings card, and options for uninsured people. Compare prices at RxDiff to see current adalimumab pricing near you.
A standard 40 mg Humira injection has a high list price without coverage. Few people pay that full amount. Many use insurance, a savings card, patient assistance, or a lower-cost biosimilar.
Humira is a biologic medicine made from living cells. That makes Humira complex and costly to produce. AbbVie held exclusive patent rights for many years. Several FDA-approved lower-cost biosimilars are now available in the United States.
FDA-approved biosimilars include Amjevita, Cyltezo, and Hadlima. They are highly similar to Humira and are approved for the same autoimmune conditions, including rheumatoid arthritis. Their list prices may be lower than brand-name Humira, but actual savings vary by product, coverage, and pharmacy.
Even with a biosimilar, monthly costs can be high. Manufacturer savings programs or patient assistance may lower them further. Talk with your rheumatologist or specialty pharmacist before switching treatments.
There is no traditional generic version of Humira. Biologics are made from living cells, so they cannot be copied in the same way as many other drugs. Biosimilars such as Amjevita and Cyltezo are the closest alternative. They are FDA-approved, highly similar to Humira, and used for the same conditions. Your specialty pharmacist can explain whether one is right for you.
Humira Complete is AbbVie's savings card for eligible people with commercial insurance. The Humira Complete savings card may reduce monthly costs for eligible patients.
MyAbbVie Assist may provide Humira at no cost to uninsured people who meet its income rules.
Medicare Part D covers Humira as a specialty drug. Humira often has significant coinsurance. The Humira Complete savings card cannot be used with Medicare or Medicaid.
