Is Toviaz covered by insurance? | How much does Toviaz cost without insurance? | How to get Toviaz without insurance
Toviaz is a brand-name prescription drug that treats overactive bladder (OAB) in adults and neurogenic detrusor overactivity (NDO) in children. People with OAB or NDO may find it hard to control their bladder, causing them to have an urge to urinate frequently. Toviaz, which contains the active ingredient fesoterodine, helps relax the smooth muscles that squeeze urine from the bladder. Toviaz can help relieve symptoms such as urinary incontinence, urgency, and frequent urination.
Generic Toviaz is not available, so treatment can be expensive without insurance coverage. If you don’t have insurance, options may be available to help save on the cost of Toviaz.
Is Toviaz covered by insurance?
Toviaz may be covered by commercial health insurance, Medicare Part D, or Medicaid plans. However, insurance may prefer to cover similar, less-expensive drugs first. The best way to see if Toviaz is covered by insurance is to contact your pharmacist or insurance plan’s provider.
With insurance, the out-of-pocket costs can vary, and insurance doesn’t usually start covering your medicine until your deductible is reached. In addition, the insurance plan’s formulary will determine your copay cost. Toviaz may be on a higher tier of the formulary, which means that it usually costs more than other drug options.
How much does Toviaz cost without insurance?
Without insurance, people prescribed Toviaz could pay an average retail price of $473 for thirty 8 mg tablets. Thirty tablets is enough to last for one month, as the general dosage is one tablet per day.
Paying almost $6,000 a year for Toviaz can strain your finances. However, a healthcare provider could prescribe FDA-approved drugs from the same family as fesoterodine, called antimuscarinics. These drugs include the relatively inexpensive and popular drug, oxybutynin, which can be purchased as an over-the-counter transdermal patch and a higher-strength prescription tablet. A drug like Toviaz may be prescribed if other drugs have caused side effects, resulted in allergic reactions, or are simply not improving symptoms.

How to get Toviaz without insurance
At around $500 each month, Toviaz costs can add up. Pfizer, the manufacturer of Toviaz, may have a patient assistance program that provides drugs like Toviaz for free to patients in need of financial aid. Pfizer may also have a savings program for eligible patients. For people who don’t have insurance and are ineligible for the manufacturer savings programs, there are other ways to get Toviaz at an affordable price.
1. Start with a SingleCare savings card
A SingleCare discount card can lower the cost by as much as $180 off the retail price of Toviaz, saving you at least $2,100 in a year. Toviaz discounts with a SingleCare card can vary by pharmacy, but many SingleCare participating pharmacies may charge less than the average retail price.
2. Ask about other less-expensive urinary incontinence treatments
Oxybutynin works much like Toviaz and costs less than $100 a month. Depending on the dosage form, oxybutynin can also be purchased with or without a prescription. Other prescription drugs, such as tolterodine and trospium, are available as generics that are cheaper than brand-name Toviaz. If you don’t have insurance, you can save on generic drugs by using a free coupon from SingleCare. Ask your healthcare provider for medical advice about switching to cheaper alternatives.
3. Shop pharmacies for the lowest price
The price of Toviaz can vary based on the pharmacy you purchase it from. You may want to compare the price of Toviaz across different pharmacies to find the lowest price. Use SingleCare’s pharmacy finder to compare prices at different pharmacies in your area.
4. Consider government-subsidized health insurance
Medicaid and Medicare LIS (low-income subsidy for Medicare recipients) are designed to help people with low incomes get the medical care and prescription drugs they need. Medicaid premiums and out-of-pocket costs for prescription medications like Toviaz are affordable for most people. Eligibility requirements may vary, so contact your state’s Medicaid office or check the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) website for more information.
