FAQ
Common questions about betamethasone valerate’s cost
Here are some common questions and answers about betamethasone valerate.
Why are costs different for brand-name drugs vs. generic drugs?
Brand-name drugs can be expensive because of the studies needed to test how safe and effective they are.
Makers of a brand-name drug can patent and sell their drug for up to 20 years. When the patent for a brand-name drug expires, other drugmakers can make and sell generic versions.
This competition may help keep costs of generic medications lower. Also, generic medications contain the same active ingredients as brand-name medications. So they don’t require the same testing, which can be costly.
If you’d like to know more about the cost differences between brand-name and generic drugs, talk with your doctor or pharmacist.
Is betamethasone valerate covered by insurance?
It depends. Each insurance plan has its own drug list, also called a formulary. If betamethasone valerate is not on your plan’s drug list, a different medication may be available to treat your condition.
If your drug plan does cover betamethasone valerate, the cost may differ based on your insurance plan and whether you’ve paid your deductible for the year. Other factors that may affect your cost include which pharmacy you use and whether you get a 90-day supply.
If you’d like to know more about whether betamethasone valerate is covered by your insurance, talk with your insurance provider, doctor, or pharmacist.
