Sight-saving injections shouldn’t hinge on affordability. The Novartis Patient Assistance Foundation provides Beovu free of charge to eligible patients — including Medicare patients — and we manage the entire enrollment for a flat $69.95 per month.
The Beovu Patient Assistance Program is run by the Novartis Patient Assistance Foundation (1-800-277-2254, Mon–Fri 8 AM–8 PM ET), which provides Beovu free of charge to eligible U.S. and Puerto Rico residents who are uninsured or have government insurance — including Medicare — and meet income guidelines, on 12-month enrollments renewed annually. Applying directly is always free. Beovu’s financial structure is what trips families up: as a physician-administered eye injection it bills under the medical benefit — Medicare Part B — so there’s no pharmacy copay, no Part D cap, and instead a 20% coinsurance on both the drug (~$430 per injection) and the injection procedure, recurring every 8–12 weeks indefinitely. A Medigap supplement or Medicare Advantage out-of-pocket maximum absorbs that for many; for those without, the foundation and charitable funds like HealthWell’s macular degeneration fund fill the gap. For a flat $69.95 per month, our Patient Advocates coordinate with your retina practice’s billing team, file the foundation paperwork, watch charity-fund openings, and keep every renewal current — because a missed anti-VEGF injection can cost vision, not just money.

Many patients try discount cards first. Here’s why the Patient Assistance Program through AffordMyPrescriptions is the better long-term solution for Beovu:
Eligibility is generally determined by annual household income and insurance status. Most programs follow guidelines that include limits of up to $40,000 for individuals, $60,000 for couples, and $100,000 for larger families. Because requirements vary by program and household, we encourage you to contact AffordMyPrescriptions directly so we can review your specific situation and determine if you qualify for Beovu assistance.

Beovu (brolucizumab) is an anti-VEGF biologic injected into the eye — it blocks the growth factor driving the leaky, abnormal blood vessels of wet age-related macular degeneration and diabetic macular edema.
How Beovu Works:
In wet AMD, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) spurs fragile new vessels under the retina that leak fluid and blood, destroying central vision — fast. Brolucizumab is an engineered antibody fragment, the smallest in its class, allowing a high molar dose per injection; it binds VEGF and shuts the leak down. Its clinical niche is durability: many patients maintain on injections every 8–12 weeks rather than the 4-week cycles older agents demanded — fewer visits, fewer injections, and correspondingly lower annual coinsurance exposure.
Form and Use:
Administered by intravitreal injection in a retina specialist’s office — three monthly loading doses, then individualized maintenance intervals guided by imaging. Treatment is indefinite: wet AMD is controlled, not cured, and stopping usually means the leak returns. That indefiniteness is the financial planning point — this is a recurring medical-benefit cost measured in years, which is why supplements, the foundation, and charity funds matter more than any single bill.
Biosimilar Availability:
None — no brolucizumab biosimilar exists or is in near-term view. The anti-VEGF class does have alternatives with different economics (including biosimilars of ranibizumab and off-label bevacizumab, which is dramatically cheaper) — legitimate clinical conversations with your retina specialist, not substitutions we or a pharmacy can make. For Beovu itself, the foundation is the lever.
Warnings:
Beovu carries distinctive warnings for intraocular inflammation, including rare retinal vasculitis and retinal vascular occlusion that can cause severe vision loss — the reason for prompt reporting of any new floaters, pain, light sensitivity, or vision change after injection, and for the monitoring your retina practice schedules. Standard injection risks (endophthalmitis, retinal detachment, pressure spikes) apply. Report symptoms same-day, always — with this drug, speed protects sight.
About $2,125 per injection in drug cost, plus procedure and imaging fees — recurring every 8–12 weeks indefinitely. Income-eligible uninsured and government-insured patients can receive the drug free through the Novartis Patient Assistance Foundation; our $69.95 monthly fee covers the filings and the Part B math around everything else.
Yes — under Part B as a physician-administered drug, at 20% coinsurance (~$430 per injection) plus procedure cost-sharing after the deductible. The $2,100 Part D cap does not apply. A Medigap supplement or Medicare Advantage out-of-pocket maximum is what contains it — and income-eligible Medicare patients can route the drug cost through the foundation instead.
No active one — Novartis has retired Beovu’s standalone patient site and copay infrastructure. The foundation, supplemental coverage, and charity funds like HealthWell’s macular degeneration fund (800-675-8416) are the real routes; we track fund openings, which come and go.
Beovu’s design supports longer maintenance intervals — 8 to 12 weeks for many patients versus monthly for older agents. Interval decisions are imaging-driven and belong to your retina specialist; financially, fewer injections directly means less annual coinsurance.
Off-label bevacizumab costs a small fraction of branded anti-VEGF agents and is widely used first-line. Whether it, Beovu, or another agent fits your eyes is entirely clinical — but it’s a fair question to ask your specialist, and cost is a legitimate part of that conversation.
Twelve months, renewed annually. We track the renewal and re-file before it lapses — because injection schedules don’t pause for paperwork.
Denials are usually about documentation — income proof or insurance-status details under the foundation’s 2025 rules. Applications can be corrected and resubmitted, and charity funds run as the parallel path. We review the denial letter, fix what triggered it, and resubmit on your behalf.
Wet AMD treatment is a marathon of injections where the drug bill recurs like a subscription — and where the foundation, the right supplement, and well-timed charity funds turn it manageable. Coordinating that is our job. Check your eligibility today; the pre-qualification review is free, and if we can’t help you, you pay nothing.
