BOTOX Financial Assistance Guide

This category includes insurance plans provided through an employer, purchased with subsidy support from the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) or purchased privately.

Highlights of the BOTOX Savings Program

Average cost per month for in-office BOTOX procedures for patients with commercial insurance: $26 per month, which includes the cost of the BOTOX and the procedure.

Most insurance plans cover the cost of BOTOX treatment. Depending on your insurance coverage, eligible insured patients can receive reimbursement to help with remaining costs allowing you to pay $0. The Botox Savings Program covers out-of-pocket costs up to $1,300 for the first, and up to $1,000 for each subsequent treatment. Reimbursements are available for up to 5 treatments over a 12-month period. The yearly maximum savings limit is $4,000 over a 12-month period. Please note that the Botox Savings Program covers the cost of the product and out-of-pocket costs for the injection but does not cover any associated office visit costs.

If a doctor approves BOTOX to treat a medical condition, Medicare Part B may cover the procedure. Medicare covers FDA-approved BOTOX treatments, but the individual must have previously tried unsuccessful alternatives. The exact cost of BOTOX treatments for medical conditions varies according to several factors, including the dose needed and where the person lives.

Average cost per month for in-office BOTOX procedures for patients with Medicare: $16 per month, which includes the cost of the BOTOX and the procedure.

You may be able to qualify for the Patient Assistance Program (myAbbVie Assist).
