That\u2019s why <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/prescription\/aimovig\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Aimovig<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (erenumab-aooe) comes as such a reassurance. It\u2019s the first prescription drug approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to prevent migraines before they strike, and clinical trials have proven its ability to reduce monthly migraine days. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That effectiveness doesn\u2019t always come cheap, though. Fortunately, Medicaid may cover <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/prescription\/aimovig\/what-is\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Aimovig<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, but coverage varies by state and plan. Here are the important details.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"does-medicaid-cover-aimovig\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Does Medicaid cover Aimovig?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most people who have some type of health insurance receive coverage for Aimovig. In fact, the manufacturer of Aimovig, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aimovighcp.com\/resources\/support-and-resources\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Amgen Inc.<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, says 87% of patients with a commercial insurance plan, Medicare, or Medicaid have coverage for Aimovig. However, Amgen doesn\u2019t indicate just how much coverage these insured individuals receive.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Every plan is different, and states determine their own criteria for Medicaid coverage. So while one state\u2019s Medicaid program may cover Aimovig, another\u2019s may not. Chances are, Medicaid will cover it, but you\u2019ll need to check your plan\u2019s formulary to be sure.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>RELATED: <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/blog\/does-medicare-cover-aimovig\/\"><b>Does Medicare cover Aimovig?<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"factors-influencing-medicaid-coverage-of-aimovig\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Factors influencing Medicaid coverage of Aimovig\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Individuals who haven\u2019t yet enrolled in Medicaid need to make sure they\u2019re eligible first. Eligibility requirements vary by state, but qualified applicants typically need to have a household income below a certain threshold. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services publishes <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.medicaid.gov\/state-overviews\/index.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">state overviews<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which you can use to find the income requirements and other details about your state\u2019s Medicaid program.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But let\u2019s say you already have Medicaid, and your plan covers Aimovig. That\u2019s a great start, but it doesn\u2019t mean you\u2019ll automatically get your medication for free. Not every plan covers it 100%, so you might still have copays, or you might need to meet a deductible before your coverage kicks in.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIn some cases, Aimovig is covered by Medicaid without contractual obligation but still may need prior approval through a formulary exception,\u201d says John Lowe, MD, a physician in private practice in Ogden, Utah. This is called <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/blog\/prior-authorization\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">prior authorization<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and depending on the plan, the prescribing healthcare provider may need to provide some documentation of the patient\u2019s symptoms or other treatments they\u2019ve tried. You may also have to complete step therapy, which means trying other medications before Aimovig.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/prescription\/aimovig\/dosage\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Aimovig dosage<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> prescribed might play a role, too. \u201cCertain plans can avoid providing coverage for certain strengths such as <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/blog\/aimovig-70-vs-140\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">70 mg or 140 mg<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> monthly,\u201d Dr. Lowe says.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All this information is available in your plan\u2019s formulary, a list that shows how it covers each drug. These formularies typically classify the medications as preferred or nonpreferred. Preferred drugs are often covered more comprehensively, while nonpreferred ones are more likely to have prior authorization or step therapy requirements.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"how-much-does-aimovig-cost\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How much does Aimovig cost?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Without using insurance or Medicaid, the average out-of-pocket cost of Aimovig is around $1,035 per 1 mL of 140 mg\/mL autoinjector pen. It\u2019s a once-monthly subcutaneous injection, so each pen constitutes a one-month supply. Still, over the course of a full year, that full price can add up to over $12,000.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a biologic medication, Aimovig can be expensive, but it\u2019s important to note that $1,035 isn\u2019t a set-in-stone price, and most people don\u2019t pay that amount. Your Aimovig price could depend on the dosage prescribed, as well as your location and pharmacy. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S1551741122001577\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Prices can change significantly between pharmacies<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, even ones in the same town.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"costs-of-aimovig-with-medicaid\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Costs of Aimovig with Medicaid<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Every prescription drug plan has policies on cost sharing, where the insurer pays a certain percentage, and the beneficiary is responsible for the rest, in the form of copays and coinsurance. And plans can have different policies for different drugs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even though it\u2019s a pricier brand-name drug, Amgen says <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aimovig.com\/paying-for-aimovig\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">99% of Medicaid beneficiaries pay less than $10 per month<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in cost-sharing for their prescriptions, and the other 1% pay an average of $128. But again, it depends on the particular plan and state.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/hfs.illinois.gov\/content\/dam\/soi\/en\/web\/hfs\/sitecollectiondocuments\/pdl01012024.pdf\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Illinois\u2019 preferred drug list<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (PDL) classifies Aimovig as a preferred drug that requires prior authorization, and the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dhs.state.il.us\/page.aspx?item=17633\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Medicaid copay for brand-name drugs is $3.90<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. By comparison, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/ahca.myflorida.com\/medicaid\/prescribed-drugs\/medicaid-pharmaceutical-therapeutics-committee\/florida-medicaid-preferred-drug-list-pdl\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Florida lists Aimovig as a preferred drug<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, too, but it doesn\u2019t require prior authorization and charges a maximum of <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.leg.state.fl.us\/statutes\/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&amp;Search_String=&amp;URL=0400-0499\/0409\/Sections\/0409.9081.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">$7.50 in coinsurance per prescription drug<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Prices are subject to change.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"ways-to-get-discounts-on-aimovig\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ways to get discounts on Aimovig<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many health plans might cover Aimovig, but it\u2019s still not guaranteed, which might have you lining up your backup plans. Fortunately, there are <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/blog\/aimovig-savings\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">a few other ways to save money<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the easiest ways to save is by using a <\/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;\">. Just show it to your pharmacist when you\u2019re paying for your prescription. Savings vary by pharmacy, but you could pay $768 instead of $1,035 per Aimovig pen with a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/prescription\/aimovig\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">SingleCare coupon for Aimovig<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Just know that you can\u2019t use these coupons on top of Medicaid coverage.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Or, go straight to the source. Aimovig\u2019s manufacturer (Amgen) offers a couple of assistance programs that can help make the drug\u2019s price more manageable. The <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amgensafetynetfoundation.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Amgen Safety Net Foundation<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> provides free medications to patients who show financial need, and you may be eligible even if you have Medicaid.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re struggling to pay for your migraine medications, don\u2019t hesitate to talk to your healthcare provider.
