Fortunately, many insurance plans help cover the cost of Adderall. Ultimately, the person\u2019s out-of-pocket price for Adderall depends on several factors set by the insurance provider.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"does-insurance-cover-adderall\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Does insurance cover Adderall?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most insurance policies cover Adderall, though some require <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/blog\/prior-authorization\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">prior authorization<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> first, according to Blair Gingerich, Pharm.D., Pharm.D., an ambulatory care pharmacist in northern Indiana<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. \u201cThat means your doctor needs to provide more information to the insurance company to explain why you need this medication,\u201d she explains. It\u2019s essential to determine medical necessity because Adderall is<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/blog\/is-adderall-a-controlled-substance\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> a controlled stimulant medication<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> due to its high potential for abuse and misuse.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Exact health insurance coverage varies by policy and state, as some state regulations do not allow step therapy, according to Sid Khurana, MD, DFAPA, DFAACAP, a board-certified psychiatrist and medical director of Nevada Mental Health.<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/blog\/step-therapy\/\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step therapy<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is a process that requires patients to try preferred lower-cost drugs before moving on to expensive brand-name medications.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dr. Khurana says that health insurance plans are more likely to cover generic drugs when a generic version is available. That means your insurance policy might cover<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/blog\/adderall-generic\/\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">generic Adderall<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> but not brand-name Adderall. Most insurance plans \u201crequire failure of the generic medications as well as prior authorization,\u201d he says.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Generic Adderall is widely covered by health insurance. Some plans cover brand-name Adderall if the generic form is ineffective for you.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"how-much-does-adderall-cost-with-insurance\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How much does Adderall cost with insurance?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The cost of Adderall with insurance depends on your plan&#8217;s drug formulary,<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/blog\/healthcare-defined-copay\/\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">copay<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and whether you have met your<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/blog\/healthcare-defined-deductible\/\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">deductible<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. You must contact your health insurance company for an accurate estimate of your copay and additional charges.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Every insurance plan has a drug formulary, which is a list of covered drugs. The formulary categorizes the drugs into tiers, and the higher the tier, the more expensive the copay. Some drug formularies have three tiers, and others have four or five. In many cases, generic Adderall is<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/articles\/PMC1403292\/\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">considered a Tier 1 drug<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Brand-name Adderall might fall into a middle tier. For example,<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.caremark.com\/portal\/asset\/z6500_drug_list.pdf\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Blue Cross Blue Shield&#8217;s (BCBS) FEP Blue Basic formulary<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> lists generic Adderall as Tier 1 and brand-name Adderall as Tier 3.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Copays, which are fixed amounts an individual pays for prescription refills, also vary by plan. Individuals enrolled in the BCBS plan referenced above pay $7.50 for a one-month supply of generic Adderall or 50% of the drug&#8217;s list price for brand-name Adderall.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another factor affecting your out-of-pocket cost is whether you have met your insurance plan&#8217;s deductible. The cost of Adderall will likely be higher before you reach the deductible. Once the deductible has been met, some insurance policies completely cover the cost of Adderall for the rest of the calendar year.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"how-much-does-adderall-cost-without-insurance\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How much does Adderall cost without insurance?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The cost of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/blog\/adderall-without-insurance\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Adderall without insurance<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> can vary depending on the type (brand-name vs. generic), form (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/blog\/adderall-vs-adderall-xr\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Adderall vs. Adderall XR<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">), and local pharmacy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The current list price of short-acting Adderall is $828 for 60, 20-mg tablets.
