Does medicare cover rhofade?

Rhofade (oxymetazoline) is sometimes covered by Medicare, but it depends a lot on your plan type and why you’re using it.

How Medicare coverage usually works

• Original Medicare (Part D) covers most prescription drugs only if the drug is on your plan’s formulary (and usually subject to prior authorization or step therapy).
• Medicare Advantage (Part C) plans often have their own formularies and rules—coverage can differ from Part D.
• Rhofade may be treated as a brand-name topical product, which can mean:
  • it could require prior authorization, and/or
  • you might need to try a generic/alternative first depending on the plan.
