Etonogestrel (the hormone in the Implanon®/Ellogesic® implant) isn’t available as a generic, but there are several ways you can get it for less.
Here’s a quick rundown of the most common options:

Option How it works Typical savings What you’ll need
Manufacturer Patient Assistance Program (PAP) Gilead (the company that makes Implanon) offers a free‑implant program for patients who meet income and insurance criteria. Free implant + all related follow‑up care. • Proof of income (pay stubs, tax return, etc.)
• Proof of lack of insurance or inadequate coverage
• Your doctor’s prescription.
Insurance (Medicaid, private plans) Many plans cover Implanon as a contraceptive. Medicaid often covers it with no copay. Varies – sometimes $0 to a modest copay. • Your insurance card
• A provider who can prescribe and place the implant.
Pharmacy Discount Cards Programs like GoodRx, CVS “Savings Card,” and other pharmacy discount programs give you a reduced price at participating pharmacies. 10‑30 % off the list price (~$200–$350 discount). • A prescription
• The discount card or app.
Family Planning Clinics / Community Health Centers Many community‑based clinics offer the implant at a sliding‑scale fee or even for free. 0‑$100 depending on income. • Your eligibility for a sliding‑scale fee
• A clinic appointment.
State & Local Assistance Some states have state‑run assistance programs for contraceptives. 0‑$100 depending on income. • State health department website or local health clinic.

How to get started

  1. Talk to your clinician.
    Ask them if you qualify for the Gilead PAP or a sliding‑scale clinic. They can fill out the application and send it to the program.

  2. Check your insurance.
    Call or log in to your insurer’s website to confirm that Implanon is covered and what your copay will be.

  3. Apply for the PAP.

    • Visit the Gilead Patient Assistance Program page: https://patient-assistance.gilead.com/implant
    • Download the eligibility questionnaire, gather your income documents, and submit the application.
    • If approved, the program will cover the implant and any follow‑up visits.

  4. Use a discount card.

    • If you’re not covered by insurance, download a GoodRx or CVS savings card.
    • Bring the card to the pharmacy with your prescription.
    • Some pharmacies will also accept the PAP voucher, which can stack with a discount card for additional savings.

  5. Find a clinic.

    • Search the Health Resources & Services Administration (HRSA) “Find a Family Planning Clinic” tool: https://findahealthcenter.hrsa.gov/
    • Call and ask about sliding‑scale fees for Implanon.

Quick FAQ

Question Answer
Is Implanon covered by Medicaid? Yes—most states cover it with no copay.
Can I get a second implant? You can receive a second implant for contraceptive use, but the PAP usually covers only the first implant.
Do I need to see a provider again to get a discount? For the PAP you’ll need a prescription from a licensed provider. Discount cards only require a prescription.
How long does the implant last? 3–4 years, but you can remove it at any time if you change your mind.

Bottom line

  • No generic → use manufacturer’s assistance or discount cards.
  • Insurance often pays it; check with your provider.
  • Clinics can offer sliding‑scale prices.
  • PAP can make it free if you qualify.
