Don’t let the high cost of brand specialty oncology biologics stand between you and the treatment you need. We help eligible patients access Avastin (bevacizumab) for as little as $69.95 per month through the manufacturer’s Patient Assistance Program.
The Avastin Prescription Assistance Program is a manufacturer-sponsored initiative that provides Avastin infusions at little or no medication cost to qualifying patients based on income and insurance status. The program is designed for cancer patients who are uninsured or underinsured, as well as Medicare beneficiaries.
Navigating the program on your own means dealing with eligibility verification, oncology-team coordination, prior-authorization documentation, infusion scheduling, and renewal deadlines.
AffordMyPrescriptions eliminates that burden. For a flat $69.95 per month, our Patient Advocates handle every step of your enrollment, from initial application through ongoing infusion-schedule coordination and annual re-certification — so you focus on your treatment, not paperwork.

Avastin (bevacizumab) is an intravenous (IV) anti-VEGF monoclonal antibody used to treat several advanced cancers, typically in combination with chemotherapy. It works by blocking the tumor blood-supply system rather than directly killing cancer cells. It is given as an IV infusion every 2–3 weeks depending on the regimen.
How Avastin Works:
Cancers often grow by recruiting new blood vessels through a protein signal called VEGF, which provides the tumor with essential oxygen and nutrients. Avastin is a monoclonal antibody that binds to VEGF, blocking it from connecting to receptors and effectively “starving” the tumor of its blood supply. This process inhibits new vessel formation and causes existing tumor vessels to regress, which can also help chemotherapy work more effectively.
Form and use:
Avastin is administered as an intravenous (IV) infusion within a hospital, clinic, or specialized infusion center. The specific dosage is determined by the patient’s weight and the particular type of cancer being treated, typically ranging from 5 to 15 mg/kg every 2 to 3 weeks. An oncology team manages the schedule based on the patient’s specific treatment regimen and any accompanying chemotherapy partners.
Generic availability:
While there is no traditional generic, several FDA-approved biosimilars for Avastin (bevacizumab) are available, such as Mvasi, Zirabev, and Alymsys. These biosimilars generally offer a lower-cost alternative to the brand-name medication. The choice between Avastin or a biosimilar depends on the prescribing oncologist, the infusion site’s contracts, and the patient’s insurance coverage.
Warnings:
Avastin includes serious boxed warnings regarding gastrointestinal perforations, severe hemorrhage, and complications with surgery or wound healing. Patients are also monitored for hypertension, kidney issues like proteinuria, and cardiovascular events such as congestive heart failure or arterial clots. Your oncology team will regularly check blood pressure and urine protein levels to manage these potential risks throughout treatment.
Per-infusion costs commonly run $5,000–$10,000+ for brand Avastin at the standard dose. Biosimilars are typically 30–40% cheaper. Annual treatment costs commonly reach $80,000+. Through AffordMyPrescriptions, qualifying patients receive Avastin (or biosimilar) at no medication cost — our $69.95 monthly fee covers full advocacy and program management.
Biosimilars (Mvasi, Zirabev, Alymsys, Vegzelma, Avzivi) are FDA-approved as highly similar to and clinically equivalent to brand Avastin (bevacizumab). They contain the same active ingredient and produce the same clinical results. Whether your infusion is filled as brand Avastin or a biosimilar depends on your oncology team and infusion site — but for many patients, the biosimilar at lower cost is the right path.
Avastin is given as an IV infusion in a clinic, infusion center, or hospital outpatient setting. The dose is weight-based and depends on the indication (typically 5–15 mg/kg every 2–3 weeks). The first infusion is given over 90 minutes; subsequent infusions are usually given over 30–60 minutes if the first is well-tolerated.
Important side effects include high blood pressure, protein in the urine (your team will monitor with regular tests), bleeding (sometimes serious), wound-healing problems (Avastin is usually held before surgery), gastrointestinal perforations (rare but serious), and arterial blood clots. Tell your oncology team promptly about new headaches, severe abdominal pain, blood in stool, sudden vision changes, or unusual bleeding.
Yes. Medicare beneficiaries can typically qualify for Avastin Patient Assistance, especially if you face significant out-of-pocket costs under medical or pharmacy benefits. The manufacturer’s commercial copay assistance program is reserved for commercially insured patients only.
If your initial application is denied, we explore alternatives — switching to an Avastin biosimilar at significantly lower cost, the manufacturer’s copay assistance program if you have commercial insurance, independent oncology foundations such as the PAN Foundation or HealthWell Foundation, or asking your oncology team whether a different anti-angiogenic therapy would be appropriate. If we cannot find a path, you will not be charged our service fee.
If you are struggling with the high cost of Avastin, our team may be able to help you access assistance programs — or guide you to the cheaper biosimilar path if it is the better fit. Check your eligibility today.
