How much does an EpiPen cost (and what affects the price)?
The price of an EpiPen depends on several factors, including whether you’re buying a generic or brand-name product, which pharmacy you use, and whether you have insurance. Prices can also change over time.
What is the typical cash price people see without insurance?
Cash prices for an EpiPen vary widely by pharmacy and location. Many shoppers find that costs are materially higher when they’re paying out of pocket rather than using insurance or a copay program.
Is there a cheaper alternative to EpiPen?
In many cases, patients can lower their cost by choosing a generic epinephrine auto-injector (if available at their pharmacy) or by using pharmacy savings programs. Eligibility and pricing depend on the specific product and the patient’s insurance status.
