Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Primary Biliary Cholangitis medications, costs, and savings programs.

What is primary biliary cholangitis (PBC)?
PBC is a chronic autoimmune liver disease where the immune system attacks small bile ducts inside the liver. Bile builds up causing fibrosis and cirrhosis over time. PBC predominantly affects middle-aged women.
Is ursodiol (UDCA) affordable?
Yes. Ursodiol is the affordable first-line PBC treatment — typically $25-70/month at retail, and under $20 with GoodRx or at Cost Plus Drugs.
Does Intercept have a patient assistance program for Ocaliva?
Yes. Intercept's POINT program provides copay assistance for commercially insured patients and free drug for uninsured PBC patients. Visit intercept.com/point or call 1-844-INTERCEPT.
What happens if PBC progresses to cirrhosis?
Advanced PBC with cirrhosis may require liver transplantation, which is highly effective — 10-year survival post-transplant exceeds 70%.
Are there new PBC drugs approved recently?
Yes. Livdelzi (seladelpar) received FDA approval in late 2023 for PBC patients with inadequate UDCA response, joining Ocaliva as a second-line option.

Understand Your Treatment

Ask your doctor about first-line vs. specialty medications, expected timeline, and monitoring requirements. Write down all questions before appointments.

💰

Check for Patient Assistance

Before filling any prescription, ask your pharmacist about manufacturer copay cards, PAP programs, and GoodRx pricing. Many specialty drugs are free or near-free for qualifying patients.

🏥

See a Specialist

For complex conditions, a specialist (rheumatologist, neurologist, pulmonologist, etc.) provides access to newer therapies and clinical trials unavailable at the primary care level.
