Nexplanon Coupons & Prices

Nexplanon FAQs

How much does Nexplanon cost without insurance?

Nexplanon is not sold by local pharmacies or purchased by consumers. Instead, it is purchased by clinics or healthcare providers from specialty pharmacies. Those who are uninsured might pay an average of $1,528.98 for one 68 mg implant, plus the cost of the procedure. Therefore, the total Nexplanon price can vary greatly depending on the clinic.

Depending on the clinic, you may be able to pay $1,189.91 for the implant with a SingleCare prescription discount card. For all your other prescription drug needs, you could save as much as 80% with a SingleCare discount card.

How much does Nexplanon cost with insurance?

Nexplanon is almost never billed as a pharmacy benefit to insurance companies but rather as a medical benefit. With many insurance plans, you may still be responsible for out-of-pocket costs, such as a copay or coinsurance amount, for the outpatient procedure.

In the rare instance that insurance considers Nexplanon a pharmacy benefit, the copay cost of Nexplanon will vary. In those cases, it may be possible for you to pay $1,189.91 for Nexplanon with a SingleCare savings card. Check with your doctor or healthcare provider to find out if they accept SingleCare coupons for Nexplanon.

Does Medicare cover Nexplanon and how much does it cost?

Medicare-eligible patients may be able to get partial or full coverage on their Nexplanon implant. However, it would be covered as a medical rather than a pharmacy benefit. Medicaid, on the other hand, almost always pays the full cost of the implant.

SingleCare has coupons for Nexplanon, so cash-paying customers may receive a discount. Check with your clinic to determine if the clinic or specialty pharmacy will accept your SingleCare Nexplanon coupon.

Is there a generic of Nexplanon?

Etonogestrel is the active ingredient and generic name of Nexplanon. However, there is no FDA-approved generic version of Nexplanon at this time. Implanon is another brand-name long-term implant with etonogestrel as the active ingredient, but it is no longer commercially available in the U.S. Etonogestrel is also one of the active ingredients in vaginal rings sold under brand names such as NuvaRing and Circlet, both of which provide active birth control for a single 28-day period. 

Look for Nexplanon, etonogestrel, and other brand-name etonogestrel drugs on the SingleCare website or app. SingleCare offers savings coupons for all these prescription medications. 

What is Nexplanon?

Nexplanon is manufactured by Organon as a brand-name prescription drug implant for long-term female contraception. Etonogestrel, the active ingredient in Nexplanon, is chemically very similar to the hormone progestin, which is naturally produced by the body.

Etonogestrel prevents ovulation, or the release of an egg by the ovary. It also changes the mucosal surface of the cervix and uterus to both slow the movement of sperm and prevent the implantation of a fertilized egg onto the uterus.

Nexplanon is contained in a small rod that is inserted under the skin of the upper arm. It then slowly releases etonogestrel for up to three years, providing continuous contraception throughout the entire time. The rod contains a small amount of barium sulfate to make it visible under X-rays.

What are the side effects of Nexplanon?

Nexplanon may cause side effects. The most common side effects of Nexplanon include:

• Mood swings

• Headaches

• Breast pain

• Weight gain

• Acne

• Painful periods

• Back pain

• Nausea

• Dizziness

• Changes in menstrual bleeding patterns

Serious side effects are possible, such as liver disease, high blood pressure, ectopic pregnancies, and blood clot conditions such as deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. It's important to consult a healthcare professional for other potential side effects, risks, and precautions regarding Nexplanon.

Does Nexplanon cause weight gain?

Weight gain is a potential side effect of Nexplanon. While not everyone will experience weight gain, some individuals may notice an increase in weight after the implant is placed. Weight gain is often due to hormonal changes in the body. Consult your healthcare provider if you have concerns about weight gain or other metabolic side effects.

How long does Nexplanon last?

Nexplanon is a long-term birth control method. Once implanted, it can effectively prevent pregnancy for up to three years. After this period, the implant should be removed or replaced. For safety and effectiveness, a trained healthcare provider must insert and remove the implant.

Is Nexplanon or Yasmin better?

Nexplanon is an implant that provides long-term birth control without the need for daily attention, whereas Yasmin is an oral contraceptive that is taken as a daily pill. Both have different hormone compositions and may have different side effects. Some might prefer the convenience of Nexplanon, while others might opt for the control and routine of taking a daily pill like Yasmin. It's best to consult a healthcare provider to determine which option is better for your specific health needs and lifestyle.
