Common questions about Incruse Ellipta’s cost

Here are some common questions and answers about Incruse Ellipta.  

Is Incruse Ellipta covered by Medicare?

Possibly. Like other insurance plans, Medicare coverage for medications varies depending on the specific plan you have. The list of drugs a plan covers is called a formulary. A plan’s formulary may change over time, so be sure to check with your insurance provider to learn which drugs are covered.

How much does Incruse Ellipta cost without insurance?

In general, the amount you’ll pay for a drug, including Incruse Ellipta, is higher when you don’t use insurance. The cost of Incruse Ellipta may also depend on the pharmacy you use.

Why are brand-name drugs more expensive than their generic versions?

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 the 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.
