Austedo cost with Medicare

In 2026, a Medicare drug plan (Part D) can charge a deductible of up to $615, and once you've spent $2,100 out of pocket on covered drugs, you pay nothing more for covered drugs that year ($2,400 in 2027) (Medicare.gov). What you pay for Austedo depends on your plan's drug list and your coverage phase. Starting January 1, 2027, Medicare will pay a negotiated price of $4,093 for a 30-day supply of Austedo and Austedo XR (CMS, checked Oct 30, 2026). That's what Medicare will pay, not your copay.

• Austedo XR 30-Day Free Trial Voucher: new patients who have not had samples can get their first 30 days free (up to 4 weeks of titration or 30 days of medicine). Terms and conditions apply.

What is Austedo used for?

Austedo XR and Austedo (deutetrabenazine) are VMAT2 inhibitors, medicines that lower the release of dopamine in the brain's movement pathways. According to their FDA label (DailyMed), they are used to treat adults with:

• Chorea (involuntary jerking or writhing movements) caused by Huntington's disease.
• Tardive dyskinesia, uncontrolled movements of the face, tongue or body that can happen after taking some medicines, such as antipsychotics.

Austedo XR comes as 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42 and 48 mg extended-release tablets taken once a day, in bottles of 30, plus a 4-week titration kit. Austedo comes as 6, 9 and 12 mg tablets in bottles of 60, taken with food; daily doses of 12 mg or more are split into two doses. The dose is raised weekly up to a maximum of 48 mg a day. The label has a boxed warning: in people with Huntington's disease, Austedo can raise the risk of depression and suicidal thoughts and behavior. Teva says Austedo and Austedo XR can be filled at any pharmacy, and it also works with a network of specialty pharmacies (Teva). Your prescriber decides which medicine is right for you.
