Key takeaways
Synthroid is a brand-name medication, and many insurance plans prefer to cover levothyroxine sodium, the medication’s generic version.
With the Synthroid copay card, you could pay $25 for 30 tablets with insurance or $39.95 without insurance.
You can pay $4 for 30 tablets of generic Synthroid by using a Synthroid (levothyroxine) coupon from SingleCare.
Synthroid (levothyroxine sodium) is an artificial thyroid hormone replacement that restores normal thyroid hormone levels in people with an underactive thyroid. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has also approved it for suppressing thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) in patients with thyroid cancer. As a brand-name drug, Synthroid costs significantly more than generic levothyroxine, but there are ways to save on both.
How much does Synthroid cost?
The average cost of Synthroid is $211 for 90, 75 mcg tablets, although the cost fluctuates and varies by pharmacy and location.
Synthroid is covered by many health insurance plans, including Medicare and Medicaid, but coverage varies by plan. Because Synthroid is a brand name, it’s typically covered as a higher-tier drug, so copays will be higher than those for other drugs. Most health insurance plans prefer to cover levothyroxine sodium, the medication’s generic version.
Synthroid is also covered by many Medicare Part D drug plans and Medicaid plans. When it isn’t, generic levothyroxine is usually always covered.

2. Synthroid savings card
AbbVie, the manufacturer of Synthroid, offers commercially insured patients a copay card that can reduce the monthly out-of-pocket cost with insurance to as little as $25 per month. The copay card does not work with government-funded healthcare, including Medicare and Medicaid. Uninsured patients, or patients on Medicare or Medicaid, can use the savings card to purchase a 30-day supply of Synthroid for $39.95 or a 90-day supply for $99.90.
3. Synthroid Delivers Program
The Synthroid Delivers Program is a direct-pay pharmacy program that allows eligible individuals to get discounted Synthroid shipped to them. The Synthroid Delivers Program is for individuals who aren’t using insurance. Once you join, the Synthroid Delivers pharmacy team will work directly with your healthcare provider to get your prescription or transfer it from another pharmacy. Shipping is free, and the cost of your medication will depend on the number of tablets for each prescription: $29.50 for 30 tablets, $54 for 60 tablets, and $75 for 90 tablets. Purchasing a 90-day supply averages out to $25 per month.
4. AbbVie patient access support
My AbbVie Assist can provide financial assistance options to help eligible individuals get prescribed AbbVie medications, including Synthroid. To apply, sign up on myAbbVie website to create a portal account. The remainder of the application will be completed on the portal.
Unlike the copay card or Synthroid Delivers Program, patients must show financial need to qualify for AbbVie patient support. Visit the AbbVie patient support website for additional eligibility and enrollment information.
Is there a cheaper alternative to Synthroid?
Generic levothyroxine is a cheaper alternative to Synthroid, a brand-name medication. Both contain the same active ingredient, but you may want to speak to your healthcare provider about whether the generic version is right for you. If so, you could pay an average retail price of $71 for 90, 75 mcg tablets instead of $211 for brand-name Synthroid. A SingleCare coupon can discount the price to as low as $10 for 90, 75 mcg tablets. Discounts vary by pharmacy and location.
Other levothyroxine alternatives that are cheaper than Synthroid include Levoxyl ($123 for a supply of 90, 75 mcg tablets) and dessicated thyroid extract such as Armour Thyroid ($154 for 90, 60 mg tablets). With a SingleCare prescription discount card, you could pay much less for these alternatives.
