Insurance and other considerations
Insurance and other considerations for Tiadylt ER
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 Tiadylt ER. In this case, your doctor will communicate with your insurance company regarding your prescription for Tiadylt ER. 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 Tiadylt ER 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.
Generics vs. brand-names
Generics vs. brand-names
Tiadylt ER is a generic medication. The brand-name version of this drug is Tiazac.
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 version.
Tiadylt ER is a branded-generic medication. Usually, generic drugs are referred to by the name of their active ingredient. But branded-generic drugs are generics that are given a trade name by the drugmaker.
If your doctor has prescribed Tiadylt ER but you’re interested in taking Tiazac, 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 Tiadylt ER compares with its brand-name version, talk with your doctor or pharmacist. You could also contact your insurance company.
FAQ
Common questions about Tiadylt ER and cost
Here are some common questions and answers about Tiadylt ER.
How does the cost of Tiadylt ER compare with the cost of Cardizem CD?
The cost of Tiadylt ER and Cardizem CD depends on the dose you take, the pharmacy you use, and the insurance you have.
Cardizem CD is a brand-name medication. This means it may be more expensive. Also, if Cardizem CD is covered by your insurance, it may have a higher copay.
Talk with your pharmacist or insurance company to learn more about the cost of Tiadylt ER versus Cardizem CD.
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 a medication work.)
This competition may help keep 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.
Tiadylt ER is a branded-generic medication. Usually, generic drugs are referred to by the name of their active ingredient. But branded-generic drugs are generics that are given a trade 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.
