How much does Methylphenidate ER (OSM) cost without insurance?

How much does Methylphenidate ER (OSM) cost with insurance?

Nearly all health insurance plans cover extended-release methylphenidate, but your insurance company may not cover the specific osmotic-release form of methylphenidate. When it is covered, the copay may be significantly higher than for other forms of methylphenidate ER that do not use the osmotic technology. When insurance coverage for Methylphenidate ER (OSM) is a problem, consider using a free SingleCare Methylphenidate ER (OSM) coupon without insurance and pay as little as 30, 36mg tablets for Methylphenidate ER (OSM).

Does Medicare cover Methylphenidate ER (OSM)?

While all Medicare Part D prescription drug plans cover extended-release methylphenidate, some do not cover osmotic-release methylphenidate ER. The out-of-pocket cost may be higher than for other forms of methylphenidate ER. A SingleCare coupon for Methylphenidate ER (OSM) can be used as an alternative to Medicare if coverage or cost is a concern. Ask a pharmacist to compare the SingleCare price with your Medicare copay for Methylphenidate ER (OSM).

Does Medicaid cover Methylphenidate ER (OSM)?

Medicaid often covers extended-release methylphenidate, but not all Medicaid insurance plans include this specific Methylphenidate ER (OSM) osmotic tablet in their formulary. The out-of-pocket cost should be minimal with Medicaid, but this, too, varies by state. If Methylphenidate ER (OSM) is not covered or the copay seems high, consider using a free SingleCare Methylphenidate ER (OSM) coupon instead of Medicaid to save money.

What is the brand name for Methylphenidate ER (OSM)?

There are two primary brand-name versions of osmotic Methylphenidate ER (OSM): Concerta and Relexxii. Both sell at a higher retail price than an authorized generic version of Methylphenidate ER (OSM) from Patriot Pharmaceuticals, but all can be purchased at a lower price with a SingleCare savings card at a participating pharmacy.

Ways to save on Methylphenidate ER (OSM)

Methylphenidate ER (OSM) is a high-priced generic drug, but there are only a few options for reducing the price. 

  • It’s possible to purchase brand-name Concerta or Relexii through manufacturer coupons, rebates, or patient assistance programs; however, these options are not always available, and eligibility criteria often apply.

  • Community-based resources, such as patient assistance programs or 340B providers, can help lower-income patients. 

  • Compare prices at local pharmacies to find the lowest price before each refill, as prescription prices vary by pharmacy. 

  • A sustainable savings method for Methylphenidate ER (OSM) is to use a free Methylphenidate ER (OSM) coupon from SingleCare. The lowest SingleCare price for Methylphenidate ER (OSM) is $39.65 for 30, 36mg tablets. Although optional, you’ll unlock our lowest prices and earn bonus savings on every prescription by signing up for SingleCare’s free bonus savings program.

Is there a cheaper alternative to Methylphenidate ER (OSM)?

The most appropriate alternatives to osmotic Methylphenidate ER (OSM) are immediate-release or standard (non-osmotic) extended-release methylphenidate, but they are still relatively high-priced drugs. However, a prescriber may substitute an immediate-release version or a different extended-release version that may be cheaper than Methylphenidate ER (OSM).

The only other major class of stimulants used by healthcare professionals to treat ADHD is amphetamines, including Adderall, Mydayis, Vyvanse, Dexedrine, and Zenzedi, which are also available as generics, but they can sometimes still be more expensive than methylphenidate. 

Some FDA-approved nonstimulant prescription medications, such as atomoxetine, guanfacine, or clonidine, are considerably cheaper than Methylphenidate ER (OSM), but they may not be as effective as stimulants for certain patients. On the other hand, they do not have many of the same side effects of stimulants, such as trouble sleeping, increased blood pressure, weight loss, and dry mouth. 

When considering other prescription drug treatment options, ask the prescribing healthcare provider for medical advice.
