Common questions
Is there a generic for Prolia?
Prolia is a biologic, so instead of generics it has biosimilars: lower-cost versions the FDA has found work the same way. Several are available. Ask your doctor whether one fits and which your plan covers.
How can I get Prolia for free or at a lower cost?
Amgen Safety Net Foundation may provide it free if you meet income limits; your doctor signs part of the application. With private insurance, a copay card from the official Prolia website can lower your copay.
Does Medicare cover Prolia?
Coverage depends on your Part D plan’s drug list, so check it or use Medicare’s Plan Finder. Part D costs stop at $2,100 for 2026. Extra Help cuts copays if your income is limited. Charity foundations can help too. Copay cards can’t be used with Medicare.
