How much does <\/span>metformin cost<\/span> without insurance?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Metformin<\/span> is a commonly prescribed and inexpensive <\/span>generic drug<\/span>. A one-month prescription for 60, 500 mg tablets averages around $165, almost $3 per tablet. Most people will take <\/span>metformin<\/span> for several years, if not a lifetime, so patients can expect to pay about $2000 a year if they pay the full <\/span>cash price<\/span>. <\/span>Health insurance<\/span> will reduce that cost, but the yearly out-of-<\/span>pocket cost<\/span> will depend on the <\/span>insurance plan<\/span>, <\/span>copay<\/span>, and deductible.<\/span><\/p>\n

Metformin<\/span> is the sole representative of a class of antidiabetic drugs called <\/span>biguanides<\/span>. It is also the first-line and one of the most inexpensive treatments for <\/span>Type 2 diabetes<\/span>. Some <\/span>generic versions<\/span> of <\/span>diabetes medications,<\/span> such as <\/span>glimepiride<\/span><\/a> or <\/span>glipizide<\/span><\/a>, cost about as much as <\/span>metformin<\/span>, but <\/span>healthcare<\/span> professionals are unlikely to prescribe these drugs before <\/span>metformin<\/span>. They are more likely to prescribe these drugs in combination with <\/span>metformin<\/span> when <\/span>metformin<\/span> alone is not adequately controlling <\/span>blood sugar<\/span>. Over-the-counter medications and supplements are never effective substitutes for prescription <\/span>diabetes medications<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Is <\/span>metformin<\/span> covered by insurance?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Generic<\/span> metformin<\/span> and <\/span>metformin<\/span> ER are inexpensive first-line treatments for Type 2 diabetes. They are covered by most <\/span>health insurance plans<\/span>, <\/span>Medicare<\/span> drug plans, and Medicaid.<\/span><\/p>\n

How to get <\/span>metformin<\/span> without insurance<\/span><\/h2>\n

Metformin<\/span> is a very common and inexpensive <\/span>prescription drug<\/span>. Even so, budgeting for a monthly supply of any <\/span>prescription drug<\/span> can be difficult. Manufacturers of <\/span>brand-name<\/span> versions may have manufacturer <\/span>coupons<\/span>, savings programs, or patient assistance programs that can lower the cost of these expensive medicines, but generics typically don\u2019t have similar savings programs. However, there are ways to lower the cost of <\/span>metformin<\/span> to roughly equal or less than common over-the-counter drugs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Take advantage of a SingleCare <\/span>savings card<\/span><\/h3>\n

With a <\/span>free coupon<\/span> from SingleCare, a 30-day supply of <\/span>metformin<\/span> can cost as little as $6. All that\u2019s required is to select a <\/span>coupon<\/span> based on price or local pharmacy on SingleCare\u2019s <\/span>metformin<\/span> discount <\/span>coupon<\/span> page<\/span><\/a>. The <\/span>savings card<\/span> can be printed, emailed, or sent to a smartphone and used right away to enjoy <\/span>prescription discounts<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Ask the prescriber for a 90-day prescription<\/span><\/h3>\n

A <\/span>90-day supply<\/span> of <\/span>metformin<\/span>, 180 tablets, is usually less expensive than three 30-day fills. Combined with a SingleCare <\/span>discount card<\/span>, a <\/span>90-day supply<\/span> can be purchased for as little as $13 for the 500 mg IR tablets.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Compare pharmacy prices<\/span><\/h3>\n

Pharmaceutical companies often list their drugs at a specified <\/span>retail price<\/span>, but pharmacies frequently tack on additional charges. Even low-cost <\/span>generic drugs<\/span> can have significant price differences between pharmacies. Many pharmacies accept SingleCare <\/span>coupons<\/span>, saving even more on a prescription.<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Shop online<\/span><\/h3>\n

Mail-order<\/span> and online pharmacies could be an option too if you don\u2019t mind waiting for your medication. The downside is that not all online pharmacies are trustworthy. There are ways to determine the legitimacy of <\/span>online pharmacies<\/span><\/a>, so do your homework before ordering.<\/span><\/p>\n

5. Consider Medicaid<\/span><\/h3>\n

Administered by both federal and state governments, Medicaid offers <\/span>health insurance<\/span> at a very low cost. Most people insured by a Medicaid plan will pay nothing for a <\/span>metformin<\/span> prescription. Check with your state\u2019s Medicaid program to determine eligibility or to fill out an enrollment form.<\/span><\/p>\n

6<\/span>. Visit county or city health officials<\/span><\/h3>\n

Many people don\u2019t realize that their communities and local governments may be able to help with <\/span>healthcare<\/span> costs. County and municipal health departments know about local resources, community health clinics, low-cost <\/span>health insurance<\/span>, and where to get lower-priced medications. They can help people determine eligibility for Medicaid and guide the enrollment process.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

7<\/span>. Ask the prescriber about combination <\/span>metformin<\/span> drugs<\/span><\/h3>\n

While there are many other generic antidiabetic medications, there is no cheaper or more appropriate <\/span>prescription medication<\/span> to replace <\/span>metformin<\/span>. However, many people with <\/span>Type 2 diabetes<\/span> will find themselves taking <\/span>metformin<\/span> along with a second antidiabetic drug, typically <\/span>generic drugs<\/span> like <\/span>sulfonylureas<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>meglitinides<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>alpha-glucosidase inhibitors<\/span><\/a>, or more expensive <\/span>brand-name<\/span> drugs. Many of these other diabetes drugs, including expensive <\/span>brand-name<\/span> drugs, are available as <\/span>FDA<\/span>-approved combination drugs, that is, they are mixed with <\/span>metformin<\/span> to be taken as a single tablet or capsule. Ask your healthcare provider if a combination drug, which may be less expensive than having to pay for two prescriptions, would be right for you.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
