Its active ingredient, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/prescription\/teriparatide-recombinant\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">teriparatide<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, mimics a hormone produced by the parathyroid gland that\u2019s responsible for regulating calcium levels and bone metabolism. In this way, Forteo can increase bone mass in people with severe osteoporosis, including postmenopausal women and men with low testosterone. Forteo is <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/blog\/forteo-generic\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">also available as a generic drug<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. However, without insurance, both the brand-name and generic forms of Forteo are costly, averaging around $5,146 for 1, 2.24 mL injectable pen (a 28-day supply). Here are some ways to save money on Forteo without insurance.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"how-much-does-forteo-cost-without-insurance\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How much does Forteo cost without insurance?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Without insurance, brand-name Forteo costs an average of $5,146 for 1, 2.24 mL injectable pen, which is equal to a 28-day supply. That means you could spend as much as $61,752 per year paying for Forteo without any assistance. Your exact out-of-pocket expense will vary based on where you fill your prescription and whether you are prescribed the standard dosage by your provider or not.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"how-much-does-generic-forteo-cost\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How much does generic Forteo cost?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Forteo is available in a generic form under its active ingredient, teriparatide. Generic teriparatide pricing may vary, with some manufacturers charging less than the brand name, and some charging a similar amount or even slightly more.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With insurance coverage, your copay or out-of-pocket costs may be much less with generic teriparatide than brand-name Forteo, since insurance companies usually prefer generic equivalents and will pay a much bigger percentage of the cost, according to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thepharmacistsguide.com\/about\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Joanna Lewis<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, Pharm.D., founder of The Pharmacist\u2019s Guide.. However, you should always check with your insurance provider and ask about the details of your individual plan to figure out whether the brand-name or generic version will be more affordable for you.<\/span><\/p>\n<table class=\" singlecare-table\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>\n<h2 id=\"compare-forteo-prices-to-related-drugs\"><span class=\"title\">Compare Forteo prices to related drugs<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr class=\"header-row\">\n<td><b>Drug name<\/b><\/td>\n<td><b>Price without insurance<\/b><\/td>\n<td><b>SingleCare price<\/b><\/td>\n<td><b>Savings options<\/b><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/prescription\/forteo\/what-is\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Forteo<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">$5,146 for 1, 2.24 mL injectable pen<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">$4,165 for 1, 2.24 mL injectable pen of brand-name Forteo\u00a0<\/span><\/td>\n<td><a class=\"cta-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/prescription\/forteo\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">See latest prices<\/span><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/prescription\/teriparatide\/what-is\">Teriparatide<\/a> (generic Forteo)<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">$5,603 for 1, 2.24 mL injectable pen\u00a0<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">$1,911 for 1, 2.24 mL injectable pen<\/span><\/td>\n<td><a class=\"cta-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/prescription\/teriparatide#coupons\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">See latest prices<\/span><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/prescription\/fosamax\/what-is\">Fosamax<\/a><\/strong><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">$560 for 3, 4 tablet boxes (3-month supply)<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">$9 for 3, 4 tablet boxes of generic alendronate (3-month supply)<\/span><\/td>\n<td><a class=\"cta-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/prescription\/fosamax#faqs\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">See latest prices<\/span><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/prescription\/alendronate-sodium\/what-is\">Alendronate sodium<\/a> (generic Fosamax)<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">$155 for 3, 4 tablet boxes (3-month supply)<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">$9 for 3, 4 tablet boxes (3-month supply)<\/span><\/td>\n<td><a class=\"cta-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/prescription\/alendronate-sodium#coupons\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">See latest prices<\/span><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Ibandronate\u00a0<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">$462 for 3, 150 mg tablets (3-month supply)<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">$29 for 3, 150 mg tablets (3-month supply)<\/span><\/td>\n<td><a class=\"cta-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/prescription\/ibandronate-sodium\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">See latest prices<\/span><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h5><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Prescription drug prices often change.

Dr. Lewis says most <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/blog\/what-is-medicare-part-d\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Medicare Part D<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> plans cover Forteo as well, but it\u2019s worth noting that all insurance providers (including Medicare) may have requirements you need to meet first before they agree to cover the drug, such as <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/blog\/prior-authorization\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">prior authorization<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or proof that other treatments were ineffective or not tolerated.

As we\u2019ve noted, the average monthly cost of Forteo without insurance is about $5,146, which amounts to well over $60,000 per year. Eli Lilly, the manufacturer of Forteo, does offer a savings card and a patient assistance program, but these discounts aren\u2019t available to everyone prescribed Forteo. Here are some other ways to save money on your prescription without insurance coverage.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"1-use-a-singlecare-discount-card\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1.

You can access these savings by going to a participating pharmacy and asking the pharmacy staff to calculate your total cost using your discount card.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"2-compare-pharmacy-prices\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2. Compare pharmacy prices<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The price of Forteo and generic teriparatide may vary by pharmacy, even if you\u2019re using a SingleCare discount card. You can use the SingleCare website to compare prices at different pharmacies and find the cheapest price on Forteo near you.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"3-switch-to-a-similar-drug\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3. Switch to a similar drug<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We normally recommend asking about the generic version of a drug to save money, but pricing for generic forms of Forteo can vary, so check with your pharmacy to see whether brand-name Forteo or the generic version is more affordable. There are other similar drugs and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/blog\/forteo-alternatives\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Forteo alternatives<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> you may be able to take if you can\u2019t afford your brand-name prescription.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can save a significant amount of money on osteoporosis medications by using your <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/prescription-discount-card\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">SingleCare prescription discount card<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
