Vraylar is an atypical antipsychotic, also known as a second-generation antipsychotic. Vraylar is a brand-name prescription drug that contains the active ingredient cariprazine, although a generic version of this drug is not yet available. Vraylar is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use in adults to treat schizophrenia. It is also used to treat manic or mixed episodes associated with bipolar I disorder, as well as for bipolar depression. Vraylar is also FDA approved to treat major depressive disorder (depression), when used along with antidepressant medicine. If your healthcare provider has prescribed Vraylar for you or a loved one, you’ll want to know how much you’ll end up paying per month.

The cost of Vraylar without insurance can vary based on the pharmacy you use, as well as the quantity and dosage prescribed. For example, the average out-of-pocket cost for 30, 1.5 mg capsules costs about $2,073 without insurance or discounts.

How to get Vraylar without insurance

Paying for costly brand-name medicines without insurance is not easy, and Vraylar is no exception. The good news is that there are alternatives to paying full price for your Vraylar prescription, even if you do not have insurance. Manufacturer savings and patient assistance programs can be helpful, but eligibility for these programs and discounts varies, and not everyone can participate. Below are some reliable ways to save money on Vraylar without insurance:

1. Use your free SingleCare prescription discount card. With your SingleCare prescription discount card, you can access Vraylar coupons that are accepted at over 35,000 pharmacies. The retail price of Vraylar (30, 1.5 mg capsules) is about $2,073, but with your free SingleCare discount, you could pay as low as $1,371, saving almost $700 each month.
2. Compare pharmacy prices. Although there is no generic version of Vraylar at this time, you can save money on the brand-name drug by checking the price at different pharmacies near you. Vraylar prices can vary significantly among pharmacies, so it’s worth taking the time to compare prices at SingleCare.com or by using the SingleCare app. Additionally, some pharmacies may offer savings when you purchase a three-month supply up front.
3. Ask for samples. It’s worth asking your healthcare provider or mental health professional if they have any samples of Vraylar. Although free samples are not a permanent solution, you could save a significant amount of money if you are able to obtain a few weeks (or even months) of medicine for free.  
4. Get advice from your healthcare team. Different cities and towns often have various types of programs that can help you save money on your prescriptions. You can ask your healthcare provider, local pharmacist, or health department if they know of any local resources in your area that can help you save money on your prescription. If your Vraylar cost is still too high, you can ask your healthcare provider about Vraylar alternatives. There are many antipsychotic drugs, and a different one may be more affordable, but just as effective.
