Understanding Your Insurance Coverage and Co-pays

Check your insurance plan’s formulary to see if Flovent (or its generic equivalent, Fluticasone) is covered. This list details which drugs your plan covers and at what tier.

Your co-pay depends on your plan’s tier system. Generic medications are usually cheaper than brand-name drugs and often fall into a lower tier, resulting in a lower co-pay. A higher tier means a higher co-pay.

Contact your insurance provider directly. They can provide the most accurate information on your specific coverage and any potential cost-saving programs, like a mail-order pharmacy option or patient assistance programs.

Explore your plan’s prior authorization process. Some plans require a doctor’s pre-approval before covering certain medications. Knowing this beforehand saves time and potential delays in receiving your prescription.

Consider using a prescription discount card. Many independent pharmacies and online resources offer these cards which can reduce costs even if your insurance covers the drug. Compare different cards to find the best deal.

Compare prices across different pharmacies. Prices can vary significantly, so it pays to shop around. Check both local pharmacies and online options before committing to a purchase.
