Is Intrarosa covered by insurance?
It may be. To find out whether your insurance plan covers the cost of Intrarosa, reach out to your plan provider directly. They can tell you whether the drug is covered and how much you can expect to pay.
You can also talk with your pharmacist to learn whether your insurance plan covers the medication and what your cost would be.
If the drug is not covered by your plan, your doctor or pharmacist may be able to suggest options to help you pay for Intrarosa.
Intrarosa only comes as a brand-name drug. It’s not currently available in a generic version. A generic contains an exact copy of the active drug in a brand-name medication but tends to cost less.
Why is there such a cost difference between brand-name drugs and generics?Years of research and testing are needed to ensure that brand-name drugs are safe and effective. This testing can make the drugs expensive. The manufacturer of a brand-name drug can sell the drug exclusively for up to 20 years. After that, other drugmakers can create generic versions. This competition in the market can lead to lower costs for generics. And because generics have the same active ingredients as brand-name drugs, they don’t need to be studied again. This can also lead to lower generic costs.
If you use Intrarosa long term, you may be able to lower your costs in the following ways:
Look into getting a 90-day supply of your medication: You may be able to get a 90-day supply of Intrarosa if approved by your insurance company. This could reduce your number of trips to the pharmacy and help lower the cost of the drug. If you’re interested in a 90-day supply of Intrarosa, talk with your doctor, pharmacist, or insurance provider.
Use a mail-order pharmacy to get your medication: Using a mail-order pharmacy might help lower your cost for Intrarosa. Plus, you could get your medication without leaving home. Some Medicare plans may help cover the cost of mail-order drugs. You may also be able to get a 90-day supply of the drug through mail order. If you don’t have health insurance, talk with your doctor or pharmacist. They may be able to suggest online pharmacy options that could work for you.

If you have insurance, you may need to get prior authorization before your insurance provider will cover Intrarosa. This means your insurer and your doctor will discuss Intrarosa in regard to your treatment. Then the insurance company will determine whether the drug is covered. If Intrarosa requires prior authorization and you don’t receive it before starting treatment, you could pay the full cost of the drug.
Be sure to ask your insurance company whether Intrarosa requires prior authorization.
