Breztri Aerosphere<\/span><\/a> is a three-in-one inhaler that contains budesonide, glycopyrrolate, and formoterol fumarate. Healthcare professionals prescribe it as a maintenance treatment in people with <\/span>chronic obstructive pulmonary disease<\/span><\/a> (emphysema or chronic bronchitis). As a brand-name drug, Breztri\u2019s average cost isn\u2019t what most people would call cheap, but there are ways to bring the price down. This article provides the essential details on a few of the most reliable money-saving methods.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

How much does Breztri cost?<\/span><\/h2>\n

For someone paying completely out of pocket, <\/span>Breztri costs<\/span><\/a> an average of $933 for a 30-day supply. That\u2019s around $31 per dose. The annual cost could exceed $11,000, which might not be doable for everyone.<\/span><\/p>\n

Most people who have commercial insurance, a Medicare Part D plan, or a Medicare Advantage plan with drug benefits might not have to pay that much, since many of these plans cover Breztri. But it\u2019s important to check with your insurance provider since \u201csome plans may cover Breztri under a high-tier copay, while others might not cover it at all, leading to high out-of-pocket expenses,\u201d according to <\/span>Sazan Sylejmani, Pharm.D.<\/span><\/a>, a pharmacist in Westmont, Illinois.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to the manufacturer<\/span><\/a>, AstraZeneca, <\/span>the average out-of-pocket cost for people with private or employer-provided health insurance coverage is $48.83 per month, and for people with Medicare drug coverage, it\u2019s $44.70 per month. With Medicaid, the average out-of-pocket cost is only a few dollars.<\/span><\/p>\n

Of course, you\u2019ll need to examine your plan\u2019s formulary for the details about how it covers Breztri. \u201cIn my work, I’ve seen patients struggle with the nuances of insurance coverage, where some are covered under their plan, and others face high out-of-pocket costs due to deductibles or formulary restrictions,\u201d said <\/span>Robert McLaughlin II, MD<\/span><\/a>, an orthopedic surgeon at <\/span>Boston Concierge Orthopedics<\/span><\/a>. Some plans might also require prior authorization or trying other medications first.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

How to save money on Breztri<\/span><\/h2>\n

You have a few options when it comes to saving money on your Breztri Aerosphere prescription.<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Get free Breztri Aerosphere coupons<\/span><\/h3>\n

SingleCare offers <\/span>discounts on <\/span><\/a>prescription drugs<\/span>, including Breztri, at over 35,000 participating pharmacies nationwide. The average retail price of Breztri Aerosphere is $933 for a 30-day supply, but a SingleCare <\/span>Breztri coupon card<\/span><\/a> could bring that down to $572 at Kroger. Discounts vary at other participating pharmacies. Earn additional discounts by <\/span>signing up<\/span><\/a> for SingleCare\u2019s bonus loyalty program.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Check eligibility for Breztri patient assistance programs<\/span><\/h3>\n

For eligible commercially insured patients, the Breztri Zero Pay program may provide the medication at no cost. To qualify, you can\u2019t be enrolled in any federal- or state-funded assistance programs, including Medicare, Medicaid, TriCare, and Veterans Affairs benefits. Eligibility also requires that the insurance company cover Breztri with no restrictions, such as prior authorization or step therapy. The insurance company must provide full coverage and cannot have policies that divert the copay card assistance away from your out-of-pocket expenses. There is a maximum annual savings limit.<\/span><\/p>\n

AstraZeneca also has a patient assistance program called AZ&Me, which is for uninsured individuals and people who have Medicare but still need help paying for their prescription drugs. If you don\u2019t have private insurance, meet other requirements, and have an annual adjusted gross income at or below 300% of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL), the company will provide Breztri for free. The savings program lasts for one year, and you can re-enroll after that.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Look into government or nonprofit assistance<\/span><\/h3>\n

The federal government, state governments, and certain nonprofit companies all offer prescription assistance for eligible individuals. For Medicare beneficiaries who meet the eligibility requirements, <\/span>Medicare Extra Help<\/span><\/a> can help cover Part D expenses. Each state also has its own <\/span>pharmaceutical assistance programs<\/span><\/a>, and the <\/span>Patient Advocate Foundation\u2019s Co-Pay Relief program<\/span><\/a> can be a solid resource for people with private insurance plans. However, not everyone can meet the eligibility requirements. Ask your healthcare provider or talk to a program representative.<\/span><\/p>\n

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

It might seem strange to compare prices on medications, but since there\u2019s not one regulatory price for Breztri, each pharmacy sets its own rates. Sometimes, the difference in prices between pharmacies amounts to thousands every year. In fact, a <\/span>study from the U.S. Public Interest Research Groups<\/span><\/a> found patients could save up to $5,400 per year by paying minimum drug prices instead of median prices. Calling around before you get your prescription filled could lead to significant savings.<\/span><\/p>\n

5. Ask about alternatives and two-inhaler treatment<\/span><\/h3>\n

Because Breztri contains three different medications, it\u2019s a pretty convenient treatment. But those medications (or ones like them) can come as two separate inhalers as well. \u201cI’ve seen patients use similar combination inhalers with corticosteroids, <\/span>long-acting muscarinic antagonists (LAMA)<\/span><\/a>, and <\/span>long-acting beta agonists (LABA)<\/span><\/a> that might offer a lower cost alternative depending on the generic availability and insurance coverage,\u201d Dr. McLaughlin says.<\/span><\/p>\n

For some people, using two inhalers might be cheaper, but it could be more expensive for others. Plus, it might make it harder to adhere to a consistent treatment plan since <\/span>studies suggest<\/span><\/a> that single-inhaler triple therapy has higher compliance than multiple inhalers. Either way, it might be worth asking for medical advice from your healthcare provider.<\/span><\/p>\n

Is there a cheaper alternative to Breztri?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Not every COPD medication works optimally for every person. Breztri doesn\u2019t have a generic version, and not every Breztri alternative will work for your specific case, but there are still plenty of other options for healthcare providers to consider:<\/span><\/p>\n
