Latuda<\/span><\/a> (lurasidone) is a second-generation <\/span>antipsychotic medication<\/span><\/a> that treats <\/span>schizophrenia<\/span><\/a> and depression caused by bipolar disorder. Latuda may be costly for some, even with insurance. The manufacturer, however, no longer offers a Latuda copay card to help insured patients or their caregivers save money. Fortunately, there are some options for individuals to save money on this medication with or without health insurance.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Does insurance cover Latuda?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Brand-name Latuda is not often covered by health insurance, Medicare drug plans, or Medicaid, but the generic version, <\/span>lurasidone<\/span><\/a>, is commonly covered. However, coverage varies by insurance plan. Some plans may impose quantity limits or require <\/span>prior authorization<\/span><\/a>. Or, they may require step therapy, which involves trying a more cost-effective alternative before they cover Latuda or generic lurasidone. Plans that cover both will often require prior authorization for the brand-name version but not for the generic version. Talk to your health insurance company to learn more about your specific drug coverage for Latuda.<\/span><\/p>\n

Why is Latuda so expensive?<\/span><\/h2>\n

The expensive price tag of Latuda may involve different factors. First, it is a brand-name medication, which usually costs more than generic versions. The price difference is typically due to the significant investment involved in research and marketing to develop and launch brand-name drugs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Still, the price of Latuda can vary depending on the pharmacy you go to. The <\/span>dosage<\/span><\/a> and quantity prescribed can also make a difference in how much you pay. For example, a higher-strength tablet, like 120 mg, is likely to be more expensive than a 20 mg tablet.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

How to save on Latuda<\/span><\/h2>\n

Prescription costs can be a challenge for many people, especially when it comes to medications like Latuda. However, there are several ways to save money and make this medicine more affordable.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Use a Latuda coupon from SingleCare<\/span><\/h3>\n

An easy way to save on Latuda is to use a <\/span>SingleCare prescription discount card<\/span><\/a>, which you can use at pharmacies across the country. With a SingleCare <\/span>coupon for Latuda<\/span><\/a>, you could pay $1,431 instead of $1,870 for a 30-day supply of brand-name Latuda tablets. The generic form of Latuda, lurasidone, costs much less: $16 for a 30-day supply, depending on your choice of pharmacy. <\/span>Members save even more<\/span><\/a>, and it’s free to sign up.<\/span><\/p>\n

SingleCare coupons are for everyone, regardless of whether they\u2019re insured or covered by private insurance, Medicare, or Medicaid. However, you can\u2019t use a SingleCare coupon on top of your health insurance coverage. If you have insurance, you must choose either to use your insurance benefits or the SingleCare coupon.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Latuda copay card update<\/span><\/h3>\n

Latuda\u2019s manufacturer, Sunovion Pharmaceuticals Inc., once offered a Latuda savings card that provided access to free or discounted Latuda for up to 12 months. Unfortunately, the program was discontinued in July 2024. The manufacturer may offer a Latuda patient assistance program or a Latuda manufacturer coupon as an alternative, but such offers are uncommon.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Switch to generic Latuda<\/span><\/h3>\n

Generic Latuda<\/span><\/a> is fully interchangeable with the brand-name version, but it costs less. Lurasidone works the same way as Latuda, <\/span>has the same effects over time<\/span><\/a>, and provides the same clinical benefits. A one-month supply costs about $1,636 for 30, 40 mg tablets at full price. With a SingleCare coupon, you could pay $16.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Ask about a 90-day prescription<\/span><\/h3>\n

Another way to potentially lower the cost of Latuda or generic Latuda is to ask your healthcare provider about getting a 90-day supply of the medication. Filling a 90-day supply can be less expensive than paying for monthly refills, as you may be able to take advantage of bulk pricing discounts.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

5. Talk to your healthcare provider about Latuda alternatives<\/span><\/h3>\n

There may be more affordable drugs you can use in place of Latuda, but they may not work the same way. \u201cGenerally, the drug works through influencing brain neurotransmitters that help stabilize moods in people,\u201d says <\/span>Heather Wilson<\/span><\/a>, a licensed clinical social worker and owner of Sense of Serenity Counseling in Mantua, New Jersey. \u201cThis medication is usually recommended by doctors because of its effectiveness and <\/span>lower chances of weight gain<\/span><\/a> compared to other antipsychotic drugs.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Other than generic lurasidone, there are a variety of <\/span>Latuda alternatives<\/span><\/a> a healthcare provider may recommend, depending on the diagnosis. A few brand-name options include:<\/span><\/p>\n
