What does Duavee (conjugated estrogens/bazedoxifene) cost?
Duavee pricing isn’t set by a single national figure because it depends on factors like your dose, where you fill (retail vs. mail order), your insurance coverage, and the size of the pharmacy’s contract. As a result, the most practical way to estimate your cost is to check current list price and real-world costs through a pricing database and then compare pharmacy prices.

How much will I pay with insurance?
With insurance, your out-of-pocket cost for Duavee usually falls into one of these patterns:
- A fixed copay per month (common with some plans)
- Coinsurance (a percentage of the drug’s price)
- A deductible requirement first, if you have not met it
If you tell me your insurance type (commercial, Medicare Part D) and the pharmacy you use, I can suggest what to ask for (for example, whether your plan has a preferred formulary tier for Duavee).
Are there cheaper alternatives (brand vs. generic or similar drugs)?
Duavee is a branded combination product, so generic availability for the same formulation may affect pricing depending on what is currently on the market. If you’re looking to reduce cost, a pharmacist or prescriber can check:
- Whether there is a lower-cost formulary option in the same drug class
- Whether dose adjustments are appropriate
- Whether prior authorization or step therapy applies
What can I do to lower Duavee cost quickly?
If you want to reduce your near-term pharmacy bill, common options include:
- Comparing prices between major pharmacies and mail-order programs
- Asking about a manufacturer savings offer or patient assistance program (if eligible)
- Checking whether your plan can cover it at a lower formulary tier
If you share your ZIP code (or state), whether you’re paying cash or using insurance, and the dose (typically 0.45 mg or 0.625 mg), I can help you narrow down the most likely cost range and what to check first.
