How much does Entresto cost with insurance (copay/coinsurance)?
Entresto (sacubitril/valsartan) pricing with insurance depends mainly on your plan type and coverage rules, such as your prescription drug formulary tier, whether you have a copay or coinsurance structure, any deductible status, and whether prior authorization is required. Because those variables differ by insurer, there isn’t one single “with insurance” price that applies to everyone.
If you share your insurance type (commercial vs. Medicare vs. Medicaid) and your plan details (and the pharmacy you use), the out-of-pocket cost can often be narrowed down to the likely range implied by your benefit design.
Why your Entresto out-of-pocket price can change month to month
Even within the same insurance plan, your price can move if:
- Your deductible resets (common at the start of the year).
- You switch between pharmacy networks (preferred vs. non-preferred).
- Your insurance changes authorization or formulary placement (tier changes).
- You refill at different strengths or package sizes (copay can vary by NDC).
- You qualify for an assistance program that lowers your copay.
What patients typically pay in common coverage scenarios (what to check)
Many insurance plans price brand drugs like Entresto using one of these approaches:
- Fixed copay by tier (you pay a set dollar amount).
- Coinsurance (you pay a percentage of the drug cost after deductible).
- A combination with prior authorization requirements.
To get the exact “with insurance” number quickly, you or your pharmacy can usually check it by running a live claim using the specific Entresto strength and quantity you’re prescribed.
Can the “with insurance” price be lowered (copay cards / assistance)?
For brand cardiovascular drugs like Entresto, manufacturer copay support or other patient assistance programs may reduce your out-of-pocket cost for eligible commercially insured patients. Eligibility and benefits vary based on insurance status (for example, copay support is often not available for some government coverage types).

Fastest way to find your exact Entresto price with your plan
Ask your pharmacy to tell you:
1) Your copay or coinsurance for your exact strength (e.g., 24/26 mg, 49/51 mg, 97/103 mg).
2) Whether you’ve met your deductible for the year.
3) Whether prior authorization is required and whether it’s already on file.
4) The cash price if insurance denies, so you can compare options.
