#Paxcess
You can get savings cards to get it for free IF YOU HAVE COMMERCIAL INSURANCE. The best you can get if you’re uninsured is $300-$400 off the price with their “savings” card.

Fuck off with this ableist horseshit

Update: Found out that insurance had already applied Pfizer’s $1,000 copay discount, which is why the Paxcess card didn’t work (it’s the same discount). So the final cost of Paxlovid is $493.44 for a person who qualifies.

Alternatively you could just die.

So if you ever do catch COVID and end up getting prescribed PAXLOVID, check here if the price is abnormal. www.paxlovid.com/paxcess

They do have a voucher program for those with govt insurance and non insured but it’s possible that now requires “income verification” (it didn’t before).

I'm real sorry, Mikey. Take it super easy. And it IS still possible to get Paxlovid, btw, the Paxcess program is apparently still active too for coupons so it's affordable (per friend who got it at Gencon)

RTing for the late crowd also to say while I will literally not hand it to big pharma, I did get paxlovid for $0 instead of SEVEN HUNDRED DOLLARS bc pfizer has a lil coupon. If you qualify check Miss Paxcess out
Hey what's up I just tested positive for Covid so if you interacted with me at all near / around #GenCon please do a little test for fun, hopefully I didn't give you this dark gift.

Last time I got covid, BC/BS told me paxlovid would go against my deductible, $1300 for the 5-day course! I was able to get it for free using Pfizer's Paxcess program, but that's gone now. I'm on Medicare now, so I haven't navigated those prescription ins and outs yet.

you might have to jump through a bunch of hoops online if the doc won't prescribe it

Comment on a YLE post:
I want to make everyone aware, as an ID pharmacist, if a person is prescribed Paxlovid, it can nearly always be free, even for Medicare pts, if the following website is used by the pharmacy. Yes, our healthcare system is convoluted.

I got every vaccine I could get last hall (I’m over 60). covid, flu, RSV, TDAP, MMR. Was pissed as hell that I got covid in December, but it was blessedly mild with paxlovid, which is now going to be prohibitively expensive now that PAXcess and gov’t subsidies are kaput.

you typically need a positive test to get prescribed an anti-viral. if you do wind up testing positive, sign up for Paxcess - I was able to get Paxlovid for free on Paxcess last time I had it www.paxlovid.com/paxcess

For sure, although anyone on commercial insurance (ie not Medicaid, Medicare or Tricare) can sign up for the Paxcess coupon and it typically brings it down to $0 after insurance and can be used once every 6 months

My husband has Covid. Paxlovid WITH insurance: $700! I called insurance company & that is the cost . Good RX didn’t help. it used to be free under Biden with Medicare.
I did find this: if on Medicare & 300% of poverty level you can register or get reimbursed:

As we roll into the end of December - if you catch Covid from your friends/family/coworkers and are uninsured or underinsured.

Please utilize the PAXCESS program through Pfizer. It will provide free Paxlovid until end of the day December 31st, 2025. Then the program is done.
December 20, 2025 at 5:28 AM
I was on paxlovid hunt last Thurs. Had to apply for Paxcess through Pfizer website bc my insurance said the $1350 price applied to deductible (wtf?). Had to jump through hoops with Pfizer and CVS, but finally got it for free.

Paxcess program expires Dec. 31. May the odds be ever in your favor.
December 16, 2025 at 9:13 PM
Well, the Pfizer Pfairy came through. Holy crap, what an ordeal.

I signed my life away to Pfizer’s PAXCESS program (ends on Dec 31) and got a discount card. After some extra phone calls to CVS and Pfizer, I now have paxlovid to take for the next five days. Final cost to me? $0

Amazingly, the Pfizer agent was very helpful and polite. And now Pfizer has all my contact info, oh joy oh rapture unforesee. Oh, and, Paxcess is going away as of Dec 31.

I am currently on hold with Pfizer, trying to sort out their Paxcess discount. I applied for the card and got it online, but when the pharmacy put the numbers in, they got an “invalid birth date” message. Pfizer operator is actually calling the pharmacy while I’m holding. Crossing my fingers…

Google PAXCESS from Pfizer for coverage of (insane) Paxlovid co-pays. After I registered for it yesterday, my “price” for the drug went from $1,200 to $0.
December 2, 2025 at 11:23 PM
absolutely devastating. My wife and I got covid last december and without paxcess, it would have cost $472 for one Rx. We needed two (one each), and given that I’ve had rebound twice I should probably actually have a ten day course. the tools are a mirage.
This is a reminder that the PAXCESS program through Pfizer for free Paxlovid for those uninsured or underinsured is ending this December 31, 2025.

If you happen to catch Covid prior to the end of December, please utilize the program before it is gone!

yeah, for medicaid i think the coverage and out if pocket cost depends on your home state and “eligibility”🙄. Paxcess is a patient support program that helps cover the cost, scroll down a bit for a link on their website for steps that people with medicaid can take. www.paxlovid.com/paxcess#have...

…Medicaid extensions were removed with mass unenrollment, healthcare premiums are expected to massively shoot up, PAXCESS program ends December 31, Paxlovid is prohibitively expensive and likely wont be covered fully moving forward, RATs are increasingly less sensitive havjng never been updated…

Try this website to get mega discount on Paxlovid - like last time I used this, the Rx was only $25
