It is available both as an injection and a topical product. Without insurance, one 40 gm tube of fluorouracil 5% topical cream costs about $363. There is no over-the-counter alternative, but there are ways to save on the uninsured price of fluorouracil cream and injection and make it more affordable.<\/span><b><\/b><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"how-much-does-fluorouracil-cost-without-insurance\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How much does fluorouracil cost without insurance?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your cost for fluorouracil may vary depending on your diagnosis, treatment regimen, length, and insurance coverage. For the topical form, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.drugs.com\/mtm\/fluorouracil-topical.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">fluorouracil<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> typically used in the treatment of skin conditions such as basal cell carcinoma or actinic keratosis, your cost without insurance can be as much as $363 for one 40 g tube of the 5% cream. It is difficult to determine what your annual cost may be due to the variance in the amount used per site treated and the length of time of treatment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are using the injectable formulation, there can be additional associated costs for an infusion setting or hospital, infusion supplies, and other adjunctive therapies. The injectable formulations of this antineoplastic antimetabolite are typically provided through a medical facility as part of a more comprehensive treatment plan dictated by your healthcare provider and are not typically accessed through a retail pharmacy by patients directly. The injectable form is used for many cancerous conditions, including breast cancer, colon cancer, and others.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your ultimate fluorouracil cost will be affected by the dosage type and strength of the fluorouracil product you are prescribed. The topical cream is available in brand names and strengths of Carac 0.5%, Fluoroplex 1%, Tolak 4%, and Efudex 5%. There are generic formulations of Carac and Efudex, but Tolak and Fluoroplex remain brand-name only at this time. For comparison, one 40 gm tube of Tolak 4% is about $233, but a single 40 gm tube of generic Efudex 5% cream can be accessed for less than $39.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"how-much-does-brand-name-fluorouracil-cost\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How much does brand-name fluorouracil cost?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tolak is the branded product for fluorouracil 4% cream. Without insurance, it can cost around $233 for a single 40 g tube of cream. With SingleCare, you can save on brand-name products in addition to generic products. A free SingleCare savings card will lower the price of one, 40 g tube of Tolak 4% cream to $43. If you have insurance, your cost will vary based on plan, deductibles, and copay status. It is beneficial to compare your out-of-pocket responsibility to the SingleCare price to make sure you are paying the lowest possible price.

Many plans may prefer generic versions, or their formulary will state specifically which forms are covered. Coverage will vary based on your plan and factors such as out-of-pocket responsibilities, deductibles, and copays.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The injectable form is likely covered through your medical plan, not your drug plan, as a part of a more comprehensive treatment setting.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"how-to-get-fluorouracil-covered-by-insurance\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How to get fluorouracil covered by insurance<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A diagnosis of basal cell carcinoma or actinic keratosis typically covers Fluorouracil. You may be asked to go through an additional authorization process to share the diagnosis with the insurance carrier. Fluorouracil is sometimes used off-label, or without an FDA-approved indication, for some types of warts that have not successfully resolved with other treatments. This may also require some additional information before your plan will cover it for this reason.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your plan denies fluorouracil, check your formulary to see if another formulation, perhaps in a different strength or brand name, would be covered. Make sure your prescriber and pharmacist have documented the correct diagnosis. Your prescriber and pharmacist can recommend alternatives for prescription savings if your insurance will not cover fluorouracil.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"how-to-get-fluorouracil-without-insurance\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How to get fluorouracil without insurance<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fluorouracil is an effective medication for the treatment of basal cell carcinoma and the pre-cancerous condition, actinic keratosis.
