Those looking for affordable Avastin may benefit from accessing the Avastin Patient Assistance Program through Prescription Hope.
Avastin is a targeted therapy used to treat several forms of cancer, including colorectal cancer, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), glioblastoma, renal cell carcinoma, cervical cancer, and certain peritoneal cancers. It may also be used with other medications such as atezolizumab (Tecentriq) to treat hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
The medication works by targeting and blocking a protein called vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). VEGF stimulates the formation of new blood vessels. While blood vessels are essential for normal body functions, some tumors exploit this pathway by overproducing VEGF, which allows them to grow their own blood supply. By blocking VEGF, this treatment helps slow or stop the growth of new blood vessels feeding tumors, effectively limiting cancer growth.
Despite its clinical benefits, Avastin is expensive. The retail price for the intravenous infusion therapy often exceeds $785.00, making ongoing treatment financially challenging for patients.
This makes the Avastin Patient Assistance Program all the more important for those who struggle financially.
Thankfully, Prescription Hope offers access to the Avastin Patient Assistance Program for $70.00 per month, per medication – giving patients the chance to no longer worry about their medication costs.
What Is the Avastin Patient Assistance Program
Patients dealing with the high retail cost of Avastin may find themselves unable to afford their life-saving medication. To address problems such as this, pharmaceutical companies often create Patient Assistance Programs (PAPs), which provide affordable medications to patients who qualify. These programs are designed to ensure that cost does not stand in the way of necessary treatments.
Unfortunately, PAPs can be complicated to navigate. Patients must complete detailed applications without errors, provide extensive documentation to ensure qualification, verify certain criteria, and ensure their physician submits supporting documents and signatures. Even minor errors can lead to delays or denials. For patients already managing the stress of cancer treatment, this added administrative burden can be discouraging.
This is why professional advocacy changes the game for those applying to Patient Assistance Programs.
How Expert Advocates Make Avastin Affordable
Professional Application Management
At Prescription Hope, our advocates specialize in a lot more than simply managing the paperwork required for Patient Assistance Programs. We complete applications on behalf of patients, gather required documentation, and coordinate with healthcare providers for necessary forms and signatures. We also communicate directly with manufacturers to monitor application progress and resolve issues quickly.
Our application management system ensures that patients don’t need to stress about the application process – because we take care of every step.
Predictable Monthly Pricing
Despite programs such as insurance and government assistance, many patients face large out-of-pocket costs for Avastin. These costs may include high deductibles and expensive copays, or may be the result of gaps and donut holes.
Discount cards, coupons, and share programs are often easy to access and provide savings, but they do have some drawbacks. Cards, coupons, and more routinely offer limited savings off retail costs and can be unpredictable in their availability.
Prescription Hope offers a completely different model from the other options. We provide access to Avastin for a flat $70.00 per month, per medication. No surprises, hidden fees, extra costs, or variable pricing systems.
Just a simple $70.00 per month, per medication.
The best part? Our monthly fee not only covers the application process but also provides comprehensive medication access management. This means you don’t have to worry about applying, ordering, refills, document updates, or ensuring you stay compliant when programs change their criteria.

Understanding Avastin for Cancer Treatment
How Avastin Works
Avastin (bevacizumab) is classified as a monoclonal antibody therapy. It specifically binds to VEGF, preventing the protein from activating receptors that would otherwise stimulate new blood vessel formation. By disrupting this process, Avastin helps starve tumors of the nutrients and oxygen they need to grow.
This mechanism makes Avastin effective in treating several types of cancer. Whether certain types of colon and rectal cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, glioblastoma, renal cell cancer, cervical cancer, or peritoneal cancer, it may be useful for those dealing with cancer treatments.
The retail cost of Avastin, which can exceed $785.00, highlights the importance of Patient Assistance Programs for ensuring access.
Program Benefits and Additional Support
Cancer treatment is about more than just medication—it involves ongoing emotional, physical, and financial challenges. When allowing Prescription Hope to handle their medication access, patients can focus on their loved ones and treatment.
After all, our mission is advocacy. You shouldn’t have to worry about sourcing out affordable medication.
Getting All the Medications You Need
Patients often require more than one prescription to manage cancer and related conditions. Through Prescription Hope, multiple medications can be accessed, each one available for $70.00 per month, per medication.
