Question

Asthma medications

My recent search for Part D for 2027 left me with one option that covered my Advair generic medication for asthma.  All other choices offered (and there were only 6) did not cover it.  I also noted that most do not cover the rescue inhaler either.  I am worried that next year none of these will be covered.  Has anyone else experienced this?

  Hi ​@kw80574575 

 

Many times I use a discount card not using insurance for big savings.  Doesn’t apply toward your deductible, but you save money more times than not.

 

I tried looking for you. CVS without insurance using a discount code may be the cheapest. If it’s what I searched, something like $56 using SingleCare.  But may be regional pricing, not sure, so check.   CVS is good about looking for a discount for you, without you having to ask many times, and they can run the drug and price it without insurance with the cheapest discount company they have.  They have other discount companies than what I’m listing for you below.

Try pricing from SingleCare, GoodRX, and here’s one I’ve also used for some meds HIPPO.   But I just looked, and I think SingleCare is cheaper, and at CVS for you.  But like I said they can have other discount code options just ask them without insurance, what is the best discount code that they could find and ask to run the med with that for you to see.

 

 For some places I just look up the drug in each each of those websites and print the coupon and take it to that pharmacy that had the lower price.  Don’t need to sign up for anything.  But CVS has always been good about doing it on their own to save you money.  Might be regional that some do that.  So I always ask anyway just in case.  Good luck!

Yes, I have the exact same issue with generic for Advair, very frustrating that even generics for asthma inhalers aren’t covered by most PDPs.  An insurance broker I just spoke to suggested checking out GoodRx to see if that would make the inhaler affordable. I’ve never used GoodRx, but I’m going to do some digging.
