Question 2

What is the cheapest pharmacy for Farxiga?

Farxiga is brand-only — no generic dapagliflozin is FDA-approved in the US yet. Cash prices are similar across major chains ($610–$700/month). The cheapest path is the AstraZeneca Savings Card, which can drop eligible commercial-insured patients to $0–$10/month with a $4,000 annual cap.

Question 3

Is there a generic for Farxiga?

Not as of 2026. Generic dapagliflozin is in development but not yet approved for US distribution. The closest savings options are the AstraZeneca Savings Card or your insurance plan's negotiated rate.

Question 4

What is the AstraZeneca Savings Card for Farxiga?

Accepted Answer

The AstraZeneca Savings Card caps eligible commercially insured patients at $0–$10/month with a maximum of $4,000/year in savings. Medicare, Medicaid, TRICARE, and VA patients are not eligible.

Question 5

How does Farxiga compare to Jardiance?

Accepted Answer

Both Farxiga (dapagliflozin) and Jardiance (empagliflozin) are SGLT2 inhibitors used for type 2 diabetes, heart failure, and chronic kidney disease. Pricing is similar; coverage may favor one over the other depending on your plan's formulary preferences.

Question 6

Does my insurance plan cover Farxiga?

Accepted Answer

Most commercial plans cover Farxiga at Tier 2 or Tier 3, sometimes with prior authorization. The insurance breakdown above shows verified coverage across the seven plans we track.

Question 7

Why is Farxiga so expensive?

Accepted Answer

Farxiga is a brand-name drug still under patent (no generic competition). The $703/month list price reflects standard brand-drug pricing in the US. Insurance coverage and the savings card are the primary paths to significantly lower out-of-pocket cost.

Question 8

What if my prior authorization is denied?

Accepted Answer

If Farxiga prior auth is denied, options include: appealing with your prescriber, switching to a covered SGLT2 alternative like Jardiance, or paying cash with the AstraZeneca Savings Card if you have commercial insurance.
