What changed on this page. Until 4 October 2026 this page said new patients could get free Farxiga through AZ&Me, and carried a "verified 23 August 2026" note. That was wrong: the programme had stopped taking new Farxiga patients on May 1, 2026. The page now reflects AstraZeneca's programme update.

Nothing on this page is medical advice. Do not stop or switch a medicine without talking to your prescriber.

Covered Medications

AZ&Me still covers other AstraZeneca medicines (Farxiga is not among them for new patients):

Sources and standards behind this page

Drug coverage in the United States is governed by published rules rather than by any one insurer's summary, and the sources below are the primary ones. They are linked so a reader can check a claim without taking this page's word for it.

This page describes how coverage and formularies work. It is not medical advice, and a reader's own plan documents and prescriber decide what applies to them.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I get free Farxiga?

Not as a new patient. AstraZeneca's AZ&Me programme stopped accepting new Farxiga patients on May 1, 2026, after generic dapagliflozin became available. Patients already enrolled keep receiving Farxiga until December 31, 2026; the last day to request a refill is December 15, 2026, and AstraZeneca says there are no extensions. Ask your prescriber or pharmacist about generic dapagliflozin, and check independent foundations for help with costs.

Is there a cheaper way to get Farxiga now?

Three routes, depending on coverage. Commercially insured patients can use the Farxiga savings card, which AstraZeneca says can bring brand-name Farxiga to as low as $0 a month, subject to eligibility and a monthly savings limit; it is not available to government-insured patients. AstraZeneca Direct sells Farxiga for direct purchase at $35 per 30 tablets to eligible patients. Generic dapagliflozin has been available since April 2026, according to AstraZeneca.

What conditions does Farxiga treat?

Farxiga is FDA-approved for type 2 diabetes, heart failure and chronic kidney disease. The savings card applies to brand-name Farxiga prescribed for an approved use.
