Rinvoq (upadacitinib) is an oral prescription medication that belongs to a class of drugs called Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors, which work by targeting specific pathways in the immune system to reduce inflammation. It is used to treat moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis, active psoriatic arthritis, and moderate to severe atopic dermatitis, which is the most common type of eczema. 

Rinvoq can also be used to treat other conditions, including:

• Ulcerative colitis 
• Crohn’s disease 
• Ankylosing spondylitis 
• Non-radiographic axial spondyloarthritis
• Polyarticular Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis
• Giant cell arteritis

“Rinvoq is an effective treatment option for autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, eczema, Crohn’s disease, and ulcerative colitis,” says Richard Linsky, MD, an emergency medicine and concierge physician in New York City. “Rinvoq has been shown to be especially effective for patients with ulcerative colitis or Crohn’s disease who haven’t responded to treatments like Xeljanz.”

How much does Rinvoq cost?

Without insurance, the average retail price of Rinvoq is around $8,464 for 30, 15 mg extended-release tablets. Your out-of-pocket cost may vary depending on your insurance coverage, pharmacy, and Rinvoq prescription dosage.

There are ways to save on Rinvoq and make it more affordable in the long-term. 

SingleCare prescription discount card

The SingleCare prescription discount card is free and can save you over $2,000 on a month’s supply. To use a Rinvoq coupon from SingleCare, select your prescribed dosage, the number of tablets, and your preferred pharmacy.

At the time this article was written, the average retail price of Rinvoq was $8,464 for 30, 15 mg extended-release tablets, but you can pay as low as $6,197 with the SingleCare card, depending on your choice of pharmacy.

Rinvoq copay card

The Rinvoq copay card, also known as the Rinvoq Complete Savings Card, can help reduce your copay to $0 for your monthly refill if you meet the eligibility requirements. You need commercial insurance coverage, such as through an employer, to be eligible for the Rinvoq copay card.

To sign up for the Rinvoq copay card, visit the drug manufacturer’s website for information on their savings program and the enrollment process. They also offer an app for download, allowing you to access your savings card at the pharmacy and track your prescribed treatment plan.

With the Rinvoq copay card, the $8,464 price for a month’s supply can cost you as low as $0. When you speak with your specialty pharmacy, please mention your Rinvoq Savings Card. They will verify your coverage and your out-of-pocket costs. Please note that the maximum annual benefit under the copay assistance program is $14,000 per calendar year.

If your pharmacy is unable to process your Rinvoq Complete Savings Card for instant savings, please hold on to your receipt. You may be eligible for a rebate for part of the cost. There are three ways to submit your receipt: online, through the Rinvoq Complete app, or by calling 800-2RINVOQ (800-274-6867) for a paper form. However, your prescription won’t be eligible for reimbursement if you are paying for Rinvoq with a flexible spending account, health savings account, or health reimbursement account, or if your insurance provider prohibits participation in the program.

Rinvoq alternatives: Cheaper options and generic equivalents

Rinvoq is a brand-name drug. There is no generic version. That said, there are some Rinvoq alternatives you can ask your healthcare provider about, including some generic medications, that may be less expensive:

• Adalimumab-adaz is a biosimilar (like a generic version of a biologic drug) of Humira, which is also used to treat inflammatory diseases like rheumatoid arthritis, plaque psoriasis, Crohn’s disease, and ulcerative colitis. With a SingleCare coupon card, you can pay as low as $1,259 for two 2 mL injectable pens of adalimumab-adaz. There are multiple biosimilars for Humira. 
• Otrexup is a prescription injection approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat rheumatoid arthritis, polyarticular (multiple joints) juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, and severe, disabling psoriasis. With a SingleCare coupon, you can save over $800 a month on Otrexup. 
• Azulfidine (sulfasalazine) is an FDA-approved anti-inflammatory drug used to reduce the swelling of ulcerative colitis as well as the swelling of the joints in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. The retail price of brand-name Azulfidine is $232 for 120, 500 mg tablets, but you could pay as low as $20 for generic sulfasalazine with a SingleCare coupon.

Until a generic Rinvoq is available, you can reduce the cost by using the manufacturer’s copay card or a SingleCare prescription discount card. You can also apply for financial assistance through AbbVie, the drug’s manufacturer. Eligible individuals may be able to receive Rinvoq at no cost.
