What does Nexplanon cost at the pharmacy (cash price vs. insurance)?
Nexplanon pricing depends on whether you’re paying cash or using insurance, and it can vary by pharmacy and location. The drug itself is only part of the total cost, because placement requires a clinic visit and the clinician’s fee.
How much are the out-of-pocket costs for the implant and the doctor visit?
Most people looking for “Nexplanon cost” are really comparing a package of charges:
1) the Nexplanon medication cost, and
2) the insertion procedure cost (clinic/office visit and clinician fee).
Those two parts can change the total significantly, even when the medication price stays similar.
Is Nexplanon covered by insurance, and what should patients expect to pay?
Coverage varies by plan (some cover the implant and procedure with different copays/coinsurance, others require prior authorization). If you have insurance, the fastest way to estimate what you’ll pay is to ask your plan:
- whether Nexplanon is covered under your pharmacy benefit and/or medical benefit, and
- what your copay/coinsurance will be for insertion.
