How much does Alendronate cost with insurance?

Health insurance companies will usually cover Alendronate. It is generic and not terribly expensive, resulting in it being on most formularies and not impeded by prior authorization or step therapy requirements. Depending on your plan’s copay structure and deductible, the out-of-pocket expense can still be significant though. You could find that you pay less by using a SingleCare Alendronate coupon without insurance.

Does Medicare cover Alendronate?

Medicare plans cover Alendronate too. Keep in mind that depending on one’s plan details, a copay may be required. In addition, the Alendronate price with Medicare depends on whether you are in the deductible, initial coverage, or catastrophic phase of coverage. Once you review your plan’s information, your coverage phase, and determine the out-of-pocket cost of Alendronate for the month, you can figure out if you would save money by spending $8.95 for 3, 4 tablets boxes with a SingleCare coupon for Alendronate instead. You cannot use your Medicare coverage together with a coupon.

Does Medicaid cover Alendronate?

Alendronate is covered by Medicaid, although everyone’s plan details vary. Depending on a person’s coverage stage for the year, a copay or deductible could apply. The required copayment could end up being more than the SingleCare discounted price of $8.95 for 3, 4 tablets boxes. If so, you could choose to use our coupon instead of your Medicaid coverage..

What is the brand name for Alendronate?

Fosamax is the brand name for standard Alendronate tablets, available only as a 70 mg weekly dose. In comparison, generic Alendronate comes in 35 mg and 70 mg tablet strengths, to be taken weekly, or a 10 mg strength, to be taken daily. Binosto is another brand-name form of Alendronate and is only produced as a 70 mg effervescent tablet, meaning it is dissolved in water before taking.

Ways to save on Alendronate

Generic drugs like Alendronate are usually cheaper than brand-name drugs, but additional savings options can be more limited. Patient assistance programs, manufacturer drug coupons, savings cards, free samples, and rebates from the pharmaceutical company are all unlikely with generics. Luckily, SingleCare coupons work for brand-name and generic drugs, so they are a first line step to take toward savings. Sign up for the free SingleCare discount card, and show it to your pharmacist to see how much you save on Alendronate and your other prescriptions. 

Shopping around at different pharmacies is another smart move. SingleCare makes that easy as well. Search for Alendronate on the SingleCare site, and enter your zip code. Prices at different local pharmacies will be listed, allowing you to compare. You can also compare a 90-day supply of the drug to a 30-day supply to see if a volume discount is available. When you go to pay your final price, consider using a tax-advantaged method, such as a health savings account (HSA) or flexible spending account (FSA) if you have one set up.  If you qualify for Medicare Part D Extra Help, that can also help with the expense of Alendronate.

Is there a cheaper alternative to Alendronate?

The bisphosphonate drug class has a number of members worth looking into as a substitute for Alendronate. They all have similar specific uses and potential side effects. Ibandronate, formerly known by the brand name Boniva, is one option, and it can be taken once a month, a fact that needs to be considered when comparing prices. Risedronate, the generic version of Actonel, is another weekly bisphosphonate, like Alendronate. 

An intravenous bisphosphonate option is also available. Zoledronic acid and its brand-name form, Reclast, can be infused once a year in a healthcare facility. As a result of being an infusion administered in a healthcare setting, zoledronic acid may be covered differently by health insurers or Medicare. Any potential alternative must be thoroughly vetted by your healthcare provider to get their medical advice on whether the substitute has drug interactions with your other prescription medication, over-the-counter meds, supplements, or underlying health conditions.
