What does a “Provigil pill” cost in the U.S.?
“Provigil” (modafinil) pricing is usually quoted as a per-tablet (pill) cash price, but the exact cost depends on the strength (commonly 100 mg or 200 mg), whether you’re using insurance, and whether you’re buying brand Provigil or a generic version. The brand and generic can differ a lot in out-of-pocket price.
What is Provigil’s typical per-pill price when it’s brand vs. generic?
For most people, the cheapest path is usually generic modafinil rather than brand Provigil, because brand pricing is higher. If you’re asking specifically “per pill,” you’ll want to confirm:
- Strength (100 mg vs 200 mg)
- Brand (Provigil) vs generic modafinil
- Retail pharmacy vs online pharmacy vs discount card
- Whether insurance changes your copay
How can I estimate my Provigil cost per pill accurately?
To get an accurate per-pill number, check the price for your exact NDC/strength at a pharmacy, then convert it to “per tablet”:
- If the pharmacy lists a price for 30 tablets, divide by 30.
- If it lists a “per tablet” price, use that directly.
- If you’re using insurance, the copay can be very different from the cash price.
Is there a cheaper alternative to brand Provigil?
If your goal is cost per pill, the common alternative is generic modafinil. Availability and pharmacy pricing vary by location, but generics often substantially reduce out-of-pocket cost compared with brand.
