Insurance and other considerations
Insurance and other considerations for EluRyng
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 EluRyng. In this case, your doctor will communicate with your insurance company regarding your prescription for EluRyng. 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.
- Insurance coverage. The cost of your medication will depend on your specific insurance plan. If you have questions about this process, contact your doctor, pharmacist, or insurance provider.
- A 3-month supply. If you’re using EluRyng 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
EluRyng is a branded-generic medication. The brand-name version of this drug is NuvaRing. Usually, generic drugs are referred to by the name of their active drugs.* But branded-generic drugs, such as EluRyng, are given a proprietary name by the drugmaker.
In fact, other versions of NuvaRing are available. These include the generic version etonogestrel/ethinyl estradiol vaginal ring and branded-generic versions EnilloRing and Haloette.
A generic medication is an identical copy of the active drug in a brand-name medication. 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 EluRyng but you’re interested in taking NuvaRing or another product, 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.
To learn how the cost of EluRyng compares with its brand-name version, talk with your doctor or pharmacist. You could also contact your insurance company.
* An active drug is the ingredient that makes a medication work. EluRyng’s active drug is etonogestrel/ethinyl estradiol.
FAQ
Common questions about EluRyng and cost
Here are some common questions about EluRyng and their answers.
How does the cost of EluRyng compare with the cost of other forms of birth control?
It depends. The cost of any birth control method may vary based on several factors, such as:
- the form you’re prescribed
- whether you’re prescribed a brand-name or generic version
- the supply you’re prescribed, such as for 30 days or 90 days
- your insurance coverage or whether you pay out of pocket
- the pharmacy you use
- where you get the drug, such as at a pharmacy, doctor’s clinic, or hospital
EluRyng is a branded-generic hormonal vaginal ring used to help prevent pregnancy. Several birth control vaginal rings are available. There are also other forms of birth control, which can be hormonal or nonhormonal. Some forms include an oral pill, a patch that you apply to the skin, an injection, and an intrauterine device (IUD).
There are several ways to get free or low cost birth control. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist if you have questions about which form of birth control is best for you or how their costs compare. You can also ask your insurance provider which birth control products it covers. Coverage may vary depending on your specific plan.
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.
EluRyng 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.
