Its active ingredient is fezolinetant, a nonhormonal drug that helps balance estrogen levels and improve the body’s ability to regulate temperature. Although there’s no generic version of Veozah currently available, there are ways to save on the price of it.

Is Veozah covered by insurance?

Veozah insurance coverage varies by plan, but Astellas Pharma Inc., the manufacturer of Veozah, claims that about 64% of people with commercial insurance have a plan that covers it. 

Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, EmpiRX Health, and Navitus Health Solutions are among the health insurance companies that cover Veozah in their commercial health insurance plans. Medicare coverage is provided by some UnitedHealthcare and Humana plans. 

When Veozah is covered, it may be listed as a non-preferred drug, which means you may be responsible for a higher copay. Insurance companies that cover Veozah also tend to require prior authorization

As for Medicaid, coverage varies by state. Some state Medicaid programs, like North Carolina’s, consider it a non-preferred drug, while others, like Kentucky’s, don’t cover it at all.

Check with your health insurance provider to find out if Veozah is covered by your plan.

How to get Veozah without insurance

Veozah can be expensive without insurance, and its high price may be due to the fact that it’s a relatively new drug that faces little competition. Launched in May 2023, Veozah is the only available neurokinin-3 (NK3) receptor antagonist on the market. 

“Another NK3 [and NK1] antagonist drug from Bayer, Elinzanetant, is expected in the coming months as it is being reviewed by the FDA,” says Alyssa Dweck, MD, the chief medical officer of Bonafide Health and a Menopause Society certified practitioner. This may be good news for people looking to save money on Veozah, as greater competition has been linked to lower drug prices. 

Consumers can also expect to pay less once a generic version of Veozah is released, but that could take years. Generic medications can only be manufactured once the original patent expires, and the Veozah patent expires in 2034

For now, you can save money each month with our tips below.

Astellas Pharma Inc. offers a Veozah savings program, but it is only for people with commercial health insurance who meet its eligibility requirements, and there’s a maximum savings of $4,000 per year. If you don’t have commercial health insurance, you may be eligible for the Astellas Patient Assistance Program. Call 1-866-239-1637 for details and eligibility requirements. 

Talk to your health care provider about Veozah alternatives

Tell your healthcare provider if you’re concerned about the high out-of-pocket price of Veozah. They may be able to recommend Veozah alternatives that treat VMS like hot flashes and night sweats

Dr. Dweck says hormone therapy is the first-line treatment for VMS and other symptoms of menopause, including osteoporosis. Hormone therapy is often a combination of estrogen and progesterone, such as Bijuva and Prempro, and Dr. Dweck warns that it shouldn’t be taken by people who have had a hysterectomy. 

As for which one works the best, there’s no one-size-fits-all answer. “Choosing a pharmacologic option for VMS is a personal decision made with one’s doctor and should be based on individual circumstances and preferences, taking risks, benefits, and alternatives into account,” Dr. Dweck says. Talk to your healthcare provider to find out what’s best for you.
