How much does Botox cost?

The cash price for Botox is around $677 to $1,344 for a 100 or 200 unit vial, but you will not pay this price. Most people (80%) pay $0 and may save money on the injection procedure with the Botox Savings Program offered through AbbVie, the manufacturer of Botox.

To learn more, visit The Botox Price Guide for prices, coupons and patient assistance programs.

Overall, how much Botox costs you will depend upon your condition, dose, insurance benefit, and any fees charged by your healthcare provider for the procedure. If you have commercial insurance, the Botox Savings Program card can help pay for your co-pay, co-insurance, or deductible amount.

People with government-sponsored insurance, like Medicare, Medicaid or Tricare, are not eligible for the Botox Savings Program.

Botox Cosmetic to lessen wrinkle appearance is usually not covered by insurance.

Quoted prices are for cash-paying customers based on the Drugs.com Discount Card and are not valid with insurance plans.

How much will I pay for Botox?

Commercial Insurance

With the Botox Savings program, you may pay as little as $0 for your treatments and you may have help in covering the costs for your procedure, but this varies by state. Most commercial insurance plans cover Botox and procedure costs.

If you have commercial insurance (for example, through your employer), you may be eligible for the Botox Copay Savings Program. Your annual reimbursement may be up to $1300 for the first treatment and $1000 for each treatment after that, with a maximum savings limit of $4000 per year. This offer is valid for up to 5 treatments over a 12-month period.

You will pay your out-of-pocket costs for Botox to your doctor's office or a specialty pharmacy. A specific Specialty Pharmacy Botox Savings card is provided for your mobile phone for ease of access. You then submit an insurance claim to the manufacturer and will receive a reimbursement check in 2 to 3 weeks, if eligible. All claims must be submitted within 6 months (180 days) from the treatment date.

To be eligible for the Savings program, you must be a resident of the U.S. or Puerto Rico and using Botox for an approved use. Copay assistance program is not available to patients receiving prescription reimbursement under any federal, state, or government-funded insurance programs. There may be annual savings limits on the dollar amount.

You can speak with a representative M-F, from 8 AM to 8 PM ET by calling 1-800-44-BOTOX if you have further questions.
