Insurance and other considerations
Insurance and other considerations for Neuac
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 Neuac. In this case, your doctor will communicate with your insurance company regarding your prescription for Neuac. The insurance company will decide whether to cover the medication. If a drug requires prior authorization and you begin using it without this, you may have to pay the full price of the drug.
- A 3-month supply. If you’re using Neuac 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.
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.
Generics vs. brand-names
Generics vs. brand-names
Neuac is a branded-generic medication. Usually, generic drugs are referred to by the name of their active drug. (An active drug is the ingredient that makes a medication work. Clindamycin and benzoyl peroxide is the active drug in Neuac.) But branded-generic drugs, such as Neuac, are given a proprietary name by the drugmaker.
A generic medication is an identical copy of the active drug in a brand-name medication. Neuac is based on the brand-name version Duac, which is no longer available. But there are generic versions of clindamycin and benzoyl peroxide gel available.
Generics usually cost less than brand-name drugs. And they’re thought to be as safe and effective as the brand-name version.
If your doctor has prescribed Neuac, but you’re interested in using clindamycin and benzoyl peroxide gel, let your doctor know. They may prefer one medication over the other. Also, check whether your insurance plan covers only one version of the drug.
FAQ
Common questions about Neuac and cost
Here are some common questions about Neuac and their answers.
Is Neuac covered by Medicare?
It depends on your Medicare drug plan. Medicare is similar to other insurance plans in that its prescription drug coverage may vary depending on your specific plan. Medicare’s prescription drug coverage is also called Medicare Part D.
The price you’ll pay for Neuac with Medicare also depends on a few other factors. These include the pharmacy you use and whether you’ve reached your coverage gap, commonly known as the “donut hole”. It may also depend on whether you’ve paid your deductible for the year.
If you have questions about the cost of your Neuac prescription with Medicare, talk with your plan provider, pharmacist, or doctor.
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 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. A generic medication is an identical copy of the active drug in a brand-name medication. (An active drug is the ingredient that makes a medication work.)
This competition may help keep costs of generic medications lower. Also, generic medications contain the same active drugs as brand-name medications. So they don’t require the same testing, which can be costly.
Neuac is a branded-generic medication. Usually, generic drugs are referred to by the name of their active drugs. But branded-generic drugs are given a proprietary name by the drugmaker.
If you’d like to know more about the cost differences between brand-name and generic drugs, talk with your doctor or pharmacist.
