Common questions about Tavneos’s cost

Here are some common questions and answers about Tavneos.  

How do Tavneos and avacopan prices compare?

Tavneos is a brand-name medication. Brand-name drugs can be expensive. This is because studies are needed to test their safety and effectiveness before the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) can approve them for use in the United States.

Makers of a brand-name drug can patent and sell their drug for up to 20 years. When the patent for a brand-name drug expires, other drugmakers can make and sell generic versions.

Generic medications contain the same active ingredients as brand-name medications. (An active ingredient is what makes a medication work.) They don’t require the same costly testing for FDA approval. For this reason, generic drugs usually cost less than the brand-name versions.

Avacopan is the active ingredient in Tavneos. If a drug manufacturer chooses to make and sell avacopan as a generic alternative to Tavneos after its patent expires, the cost of avacopan will likely be lower than that of Tavneos. Avacopan is not currently available as a generic version of Tavneos.

Is Tavneos covered by insurance?

Tavneos may or may not be covered by insurance. It depends on your specific insurance policy.

To find out whether your insurance policy covers Tavneos, talk with your health insurance provider. Their phone number typically appears on the back of your insurance card.
