CMS's dataset states spending is gross drug cost and does not reflect manufacturers' rebates or other price concessions.

Medicaid use by state
CMS's State Drug Utilization Data records, for 2024, how many prescriptions each state's Medicaid program paid for under this drug's packages and what it reimbursed. The 10 states with the largest reimbursement are shown of 52 with data. Reimbursement is before the rebates manufacturers pay states, so it is not a net cost and not a price a patient pays.
| State | Medicaid-paid prescriptions | Medicaid reimbursed | Covers |
|---|---|---|---|
| NY | 16,213 | $12,770,474 | Fee-for-service only |
| PA | 17,723 | $12,587,870 | Fee-for-service only |
| OH | 17,511 | $12,521,632 | All record types |
| CA | 13,603 | $11,233,153 | Fee-for-service only |
| MI | 12,267 | $8,827,601 | All record types |
| IL | 10,808 | $8,506,051 | All record types |
| NC | 9,564 | $7,372,701 | Fee-for-service only |
| KY | 8,658 | $6,054,677 | Fee-for-service only |
| CO | 5,589 | $4,998,463 | Fee-for-service only |
| IN | 6,448 | $4,941,824 | All record types |
Where the publisher suppresses small managed-care cells, a state's figure covers fee-for-service claims only and understates use (42 state and package figures are marked that way here). A state missing from the table means its figures were suppressed or not reported, not zero use.

Questions
Does Medicare have a negotiated price for Aimovig?
The CMS negotiated-price file we read does not list Aimovig, so this page shows no negotiated price. A drug appears in that file only when CMS selects it for negotiation, and not being listed says nothing about what it costs a patient.
Is there help paying for Aimovig?
No program in our finder lists this drug yet.
