Insurance and other considerations
Insurance and other considerations for Levonest
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 Levonest. In this case, your doctor will communicate with your insurance company regarding your prescription for Levonest. 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 Levonest long term, your doctor may suggest a 3-month supply of the medication. This will have to be approved by your insurance company. Getting a 3-month 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.
Generics vs. brand-names
Generics vs. brand-names
Levonest is a branded-generic medication. Other branded-generic versions of this drug are Enpresse and Trivora-28. Levonest is not available in a brand-name version.
A generic medication is an identical copy of the active ingredient in a brand-name medication. An active ingredient is what makes medication work. Usually, generic drugs are referred to by the name of their active ingredient. But branded-generic drugs are given a proprietary name by the drugmaker.
Generics and branded-generics usually cost less than brand-name drugs. And they’re believed to be as safe and effective as the brand-name versions.
If your doctor has prescribed Levonest but you’re interested in taking Enpresse or Trivora-28, 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 forms.
To learn how the cost of Levonest compares with other branded-generic versions, talk with your doctor or pharmacist. You could also contact your insurance company.
FAQ
Common questions about Levonest and cost
Here are some common questions and answers about Levonest.
How does the cost of Levonest compare with the cost of LoJaimiess?
The cost of Levonest and LoJaimiess depends on the pharmacy you use and the insurance coverage you have.
Levonest and LoJaimiess contain the same ingredients. But they are different strengths, and you take them on different schedules. Because of this, it may be more appropriate to take one over the other.
Talk with your doctor to learn which may be more appropriate for you. Talk with your pharmacist or insurance company to learn more about what each medication will cost you.
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. A generic medication is an identical copy of the active ingredient in a brand-name medication. An active ingredient is what makes medication work.
This competition may help keep the 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.
Usually, generic drugs are referred to by the name of their active ingredients. But branded-generic drugs, like Levonest, are given a proprietary name by the drugmaker.
Generics and branded-generics usually cost less than brand-name drugs. And they’re believed to be as safe and effective as the brand-name versions.
