The cost of Skyrizi without insurance is around $16,548.00 for 1 kit.
If you need more than 1 kit of Skyrizi then the cost goes up so it's good to find health insurance that may pay for the Skyrizi.
Skyrizi is sometimes covered by some health insurance plans but not always.
For most people you'll need to pay out of pocket for the Skyrizi if you cannot get health insurance to pay for it.
If you do need to pay for the Skyrizi out of your own pocket then be prepared to pay at least $16,548.00 which is what cash paying customers pay without health insurance.
That is quite a bit of money so if you do not have the money you'll need to look for a health insurance company that will pay at least part of the Skyrizi cost or even all.
Some health insurance pays for the Skyrizi in full while others may only pay a portion of it and you then may have to pay a copay.
