How much does Jornay PM cost with insurance?

Jornay PM is covered by many health insurance plans, usually as a non-preferred drug. That means approval will likely require prior authorization, so the prescriber will need to send additional information to the insurance provider. Jornay PM also occupies the highest copay tiers, so the out-of-pocket cost may be a surprise. In that case, ask the pharmacist to compare the Jornay PM price with insurance to the price using a SingleCare Jornay PM coupon without insurance. The SingleCare price may be lower. 

Does Medicare cover Jornay PM?

Medicare Part D drug plans generally don’t cover Jornay PM. When they do, they usually need extra documentation to authorize the prescription. The copay cost may be high, not including other fees like coinsurance or deductibles. Using a SingleCare discount card can help. Depending on the pharmacy, SingleCare users could purchase Jornay PM for as little as $452.05 for 30, 60mg capsules.

Does Medicaid cover Jornay PM?

Medicaid coverage for Jornay PM varies by state, but most states cover Jornay PM as a non-preferred ADHD treatment. Approval for non-preferred drugs involves a lengthy prior authorization process that could result in a denial. If there’s a problem with Medicaid, use a SingleCare Jornay PM coupon and reduce the Jornay PM price to as low as $452.05 for 30, 60mg capsules.

Is there a generic for Jornay PM?

No. There are no exact generic versions of Jornay PM, though the active ingredient, methylphenidate, is a common generic drug. But generic extended-release methylphenidate does not work like Jornay PM. Methylphenidate ER is dosed in the morning and takes some time to hit its peak effects. Jornay PM is dosed in the evening between 6:30 and 9:30 p.m. and is already working when the patient wakes up. That extended-release mechanism is patented, so the soonest a generic Jornay PM will hit the market is when the patent expires sometime in 2032. 

Ways to save on Jornay PM

Like all brand-name drugs without a generic version, the price for Jornay PM is high, but there are ways to save money: 

• People with commercial insurance can significantly reduce their copay cost with the Jornay PM savings program, a copay card.

• People without insurance could enroll in Medicaid if they meet the strict income requirements.

• People without insurance could also enroll in needs-based nonprofit patient assistance programs or discounted healthcare at a local 340B provider.

• They could also compare Jornay PM prices at local pharmacies to find the lowest price, but the savings may not be significant.

These are all good ways to save money, but none of them are guaranteed. The most certain way to save money on a Jornay PM prescription is to use SingleCare’s prescription drug savings program at a participating pharmacy. Savings are instant. Regularly using SingleCare for purchases can actually increase the discount on future purchases for people who enroll in SingleCare’s bonus loyalty program. 

Is there a cheaper alternative to Jornay PM?

Another way to save money is to switch to a cheaper alternative, starting with other methylphenidate products. Both immediate-release and extended-release methylphenidate are a fraction of the cost of Jornay PM.

However, the selling point of Jornay PM is that it takes over six hours for the methylphenidate to enter the bloodstream, so a bedtime dose is fully working when the patient wakes up in the morning. It hits its peak effects earlier than methylphenidate ER, and its concentration in the blood is steadier throughout the day. That immediate activity on waking and early peak concentration is the reason Jornay PM may be a “better” ADHD treatment than generic methylphenidate for some patients. So, switching back to generic methylphenidate may require getting medical advice from a healthcare professional on the optimal dosing schedule. Other than methylphenidate, cheaper alternatives include generic amphetamines and non-stimulant ADHD drugs like generic atomoxetine, generic clonidine, and generic guanfacine. These drugs have various potential drug interactions and side effects, so consult with a healthcare provider.
