Insurance and other considerations for Myrbetriq

Here’s a list of things to consider about the cost of prescription drugs:

• Prior authorization: If you have prescription drug insurance, your insurance company may require prior authorization before it covers the cost of Myrbetriq. In this case, your doctor will communicate with your insurance company regarding your prescription for Myrbetriq. The insurance company will decide whether to cover the medication. If a drug requires prior authorization and you begin taking it without this, you may have to pay the full price of the drug.
• A 3-month supply: If you’re taking Myrbetriq long term, your doctor may suggest a 90-day supply of the medication. This will have to be approved by your insurance company. Getting a 90-day supply could help lower the drug’s cost. It could also save you time having to make trips to your pharmacy.
• Savings accounts: If you’re eligible for a health savings account (HSA) or a flexible spending account (FSA), you can likely use funds from these accounts to pay for your prescription or over-the-counter (OTC) medications. HSA and FSA plans help people save money by using pretax dollars to pay for eligible healthcare expenses, such as prescription and OTC drugs. To learn more about whether you’re eligible for these savings accounts and how to use them, talk with your insurance provider or employer.

If you have questions about any of these considerations, ask your doctor or pharmacist. Or contact your insurance company and talk with a representative.

If you don’t have a health insurance plan, let your doctor or pharmacist know. They may suggest online pharmacy options you could use. You can also ask them about ways to obtain health insurance coverage.

Brand names vs. generics

Myrbetriq is a brand-name medication. Its generic version is called mirabegron.

A generic medication is an identical copy of the active ingredient in a brand-name medication. (An active ingredient is what makes a medication work.) Generics usually cost less than brand-name drugs. And they’re thought to be as safe and effective as the brand-name versions.

If your doctor has prescribed Myrbetriq, but you’re interested in mirabegron, let them know. They may have a reason to prescribe one medication over the other. Also, check which forms of the drug your insurance plan covers, as it may not cover all medications.

To learn how the cost of Myrbetriq compares with its generic version, talk with your doctor or pharmacist. You could also contact your insurance company. 

Common questions about Myrbetriq and cost

Here are some common questions and answers about Myrbetriq.

How much is Myrbetriq with insurance?

The cost of Myrbetriq with insurance depends on your specific plan. Myrbetriq is a brand-name drug. So your copay may be higher compared with that of a generic drug.

Your insurance may also require prior authorization before covering any of the drug’s cost. In this case, your doctor will speak with your insurance provider about why Myrbetriq is best for you. The insurance company will then decide whether to cover the medication.

Myrbetriq ER tablets are available as a generic version. This option may be less expensive with your insurance plan.

You could also possibly save money with prescription drug coupons. However, you might not be able to use coupons in combination with insurance coverage. See the “Coupons for Myrbetriq” section for more details.

Talk with your doctor, pharmacist, or insurance provider to learn about your options to help lower the cost of Myrbetriq.

Is Myrbetriq covered by Medicare?

Myrbetriq ER tablets are covered by most Medicare Part D prescription drug plans. But for most plans, filling the generic version of Myrbetriq (called mirabegron) is the most affordable option.

Talk with your doctor, pharmacist, or insurance provider about your cost of Myrbetriq with Medicare coverage.

Why is Myrbetriq so expensive?

One of the reasons that Myrbetriq is so expensive is that it is a brand-name drug. 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.
