Etonogestrel price?

Etonogestrel (the hormone in the Nexplanon contraceptive implant)
The price can vary quite a bit depending on where you live, whether you have insurance, and if a generic version is available. Here’s a quick snapshot of what you can expect in a few common settings:

| Region | Typical Cost (device + procedure) | Notes |
|--------|-----------------------------------|-------|
| United States | $400 – $500 USD | Most U.S. insurers cover the implant and insertion, often leaving the out‑of‑pocket cost very low (sometimes <$10). Without insurance, the implant itself is around $300‑$400, with the insertion procedure adding $100‑$200. |
| Canada | $250 – $350 CAD | Many provincial health plans cover the implant, but the fee can differ by province. |
| United Kingdom | £60 – £90 | NHS can cover the implant for those who qualify, though the exact price can vary by NHS Trust. |
| Australia | AUD 250 – AUD 350 | The Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS) subsidises the implant for eligible users, reducing the out‑of‑pocket cost significantly. |
| Generic options | $150 – $250 USD (when available) | Generics are less common for etonogestrel implants, but if you can get a generic or a discount program, the cost can drop. |

How to get the best price

1. Insurance: Most health plans (Medicare, private insurers) cover the implant. Check whether your plan includes it under family planning services.
   
2. Discount cards & patient assistance: Some manufacturers (e.g., Novartis, the maker of Nexplanon) offer discount cards or assistance programs.
   
3. Local clinics: Community health centers or Planned Parenthood–affiliated clinics may offer reduced fees or sliding‑scale payment.
   
4. Generic options: Look for generic etonogestrel implants; they’re usually cheaper, but verify availability in your country.
   
   

Quick recap

• Average out‑of‑pocket cost in the U.S.: $0‑$20 if covered by insurance, or $400‑$500 if paying entirely out‑of‑pocket.
  
• Price can be much lower in countries with national health coverage or discount programs.
