Contact Express Scripts directly. Their customer service can explain your coverage and available cost-saving options. Don’t hesitate to ask about potential discounts or programs.
Explore Cost-Saving Options
- Manufacturer Coupons: Check the Lilly website for current offers. These can significantly reduce your out-of-pocket expenses. Express Scripts Savings Programs: Inquire about their patient assistance programs or other financial aid. Eligibility criteria vary. Generic Cialis (Tadalafil): Discuss switching to the generic version with your doctor. It’s usually much cheaper than brand-name Cialis. Mail-Order Pharmacy: Express Scripts often offers lower prices through their mail-order service. This reduces pharmacy fees.
Compare your plan’s copay with the cash price. Sometimes, paying cash for a 3-month supply might be cheaper than your copay for a smaller amount.
Understand Your Pharmacy Benefit
Review your Summary of Benefits and Coverage (SBC) carefully. Understand your formulary and any prior authorization requirements for Cialis. Determine your copay or coinsurance. This helps you budget accordingly. Consider a higher deductible plan if it results in lower monthly premiums and allows you to pay cash strategically for Cialis. Check for any restrictions on quantity limits per prescription. This might influence your purchasing strategy.
Consider using a prescription discount card from a third-party provider. While not always guaranteed to lower your Express Scripts price, it’s worth exploring as an additional option. Always check prices for both options.
