It is also FDA approved to reduce cardiovascular risk in adults with Type 2 diabetes who are at high risk. While many other GLP-1 drugs are injections, Rybelsus is an oral medication. It\u2019s often covered by Aetna insurance and Aetna Medicare plans when it\u2019s prescribed for Type 2 diabetes or cardiovascular risk, but it depends completely on the specific plan. And even when it\u2019s covered, the amount of coverage can vary, too.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"does-aetna-cover-rybelsus\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Does Aetna cover Rybelsus?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Aetna often covers Rybelsus, but there are many different Aetna plans, and coverage varies by policy. Copays, coinsurance, and drug <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/blog\/what-is-a-formulary\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">formularies<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> vary by plan. Wiljon Beltre, MD, founder of<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.beltrebariatricsfl.com\/\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Beltre Bariatrics<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, says that most insurance plans cover Rybelsus but typically only for people with a diagnosis of Type 2 diabetes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A glance through Aetna\u2019s various formularies shows that they often consider Rybelsus a preferred brand, meaning many plans will cover it instead of nonpreferred drugs for Type 2 diabetes. Many of Aetna\u2019s Medicare plans will cover it as well, as long as it\u2019s prescribed for Type 2 diabetes and not solely for weight loss.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rybelsus\u2019 manufacturer, Novo Nordisk, says that <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.novomedlink.com\/diabetes\/products\/treatments\/rybelsus\/cost-coverage.html#coverage\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">around 98% of commercial insurance<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> plans and 95% of Medicare Part D plans nationwide will cover it. Even so, you\u2019ll want to check your plan\u2019s drug list to make sure. If you have coverage through an Aetna Medicaid plan, coverage varies by state, so it\u2019s important to check with your specific plan for more information about coverage and costs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But that doesn\u2019t mean your coverage will kick in automatically. Some plans may 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. This is the process that insurance companies use to make sure a drug is truly medically necessary before they issue drug coverage. Sometimes, Aetna plans might require that the patient commit to a diet and exercise plan while taking Rybelsus or that they try a drug like <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/prescription\/metformin-hcl\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">metformin<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> first. Others might want the prescriber to submit documentation that the patient has specific A1C levels.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"how-much-does-rybelsus-cost\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How much does Rybelsus cost?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let\u2019s say you don\u2019t have insurance, or your Aetna health benefits won\u2019t cover Rybelsus, and you\u2019re planning on paying completely out of pocket. In that case, the average cost of Rybelsus is around $1,363 for 30, 14 mg tablets, which is a one-month supply. Over an entire year, that could add up to more than $16,000.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That price isn\u2019t the same across the board, though. Each pharmacy has different prices, and the price of Rybelsus can vary significantly between them, so what you pay depends on where you live and which pharmacy you choose. Prices may also vary by dosage and quantity prescribed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\t\t<div id=\"coupon-cta\" class=\"coupon-cta master-template\">\n\t\t\t<p id=\"headline\">Save up to 80% on Rybelsus with SingleCare<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p id=\"subheadline\">Different pharmacies offer different prices for the same medication.

You might still have a copay or coinsurance to cover after Aetna pays its part. How much, however, is difficult to pinpoint, since it once again depends on the plan.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Aetna formularies sort prescription drugs into tiers\u2014typically generics, preferred brands, preferred specialty drugs, non-preferred brands, and non-preferred specialty drugs. Generics and preferred brands usually get better coverage than non-preferred drugs, and Rybelsus often falls into the preferred brand category.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"how-to-check-whether-your-aetna-plan-covers-rybelsus\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How to check whether your Aetna plan covers Rybelsus\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The best way to find out whether your Aetna plan covers Rybelsus is to check the formulary. Fortunately, Aetna makes it pretty easy with a webpage that lets you <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aetna.com\/individuals-families\/find-a-medication.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">access PDF documents<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of every plan\u2019s drug list. Just scroll down, choose the year and plan from the dropdown boxes, and on the next page, click the PDF under \u201cPharmacy drug guide.\u201d Scroll through the document and find Rybelsus to see what tier it falls into (preferred brand, non-preferred brand, etc.)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But if you want more details, log in to your member account. There, you can search the drug name to find, not just your Rybelsus coverage, but also specific pricing for local pharmacies and alternatives that might help you save money. If you\u2019d rather talk to a person, you can also call the number on your member ID card to ask a representative.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"what-to-do-if-insurance-won-t-cover-rybelsus\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What to do if insurance won\u2019t cover Rybelsus<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your insurance does not cover Rybelsus, you can ask your healthcare provider if they can submit a prior authorization (PA). Your plan may require more clinical information before making a coverage decision. If the PA is denied, you can ask your healthcare provider to appeal the decision. After these steps, if Rybelsus is not covered or if it is still costly with insurance coverage, you can check in with your provider. They may suggest ways to save on Rybelsus, or they may want to discuss alternative medication options that would suit your needs.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"how-to-get-rybelsus-without-insurance\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How to get Rybelsus without insurance<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are paying without insurance, there are <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/blog\/rybelsus-savings\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ways to save on Rybelsus<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">SingleCare<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> has free Rybelsus coupons that can drop the average monthly cost from around $1,363 to $903. All you have to do is sign up, then present your SingleCare card at a local participating pharmacy to get the discount immediately.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dr. Beltre says looking for alternative generic drugs can also help save money. While there\u2019s no generic version of Rybelsus yet, there are other generic medications that may be more affordable. Generic <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/blog\/rybelsus-alternatives\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rybelsus alternatives<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> include metformin, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/prescription\/liraglutide\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">liraglutide<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and glipizide.
