Retail cost of provigil?

How much does Provigil (modafinil) cost at retail pharmacies?

Retail pricing for Provigil varies a lot by the exact tablet strength (common options include 100 mg and 200 mg), the quantity (30-count vs 60-count), your location, and whether you’re paying cash or using insurance. For the most accurate “retail cost” you typically need the National Drug Code (NDC) tied to your specific product and a specific pharmacy price.

If you want, tell me the strength and count on your bottle (for example, “200 mg, 30 tablets”), plus your ZIP code, and I can help you narrow down the likely cash price range.

What’s the cash price vs. insured price?

At retail, the full cash price is usually much higher than what patients pay with insurance because insurers negotiate lower rates and may require prior authorization or step therapy for coverage. Patients often see very different out-of-pocket costs depending on the formulary tier and whether modafinil is treated as brand-only or if a generic is available under their plan.

Is there a cheaper generic alternative (modafinil)?

In many markets, modafinil generics can be priced substantially lower than brand Provigil because they don’t carry the same brand exclusivity burden. If your goal is the lowest retail cost, switching to a generic modafinil product is often the biggest lever.
