Teriparatide price?

Teriparatide (brand name Forteo™) – approximate cost

Key points to keep in mind

• The list price above is the manufacturer’s suggested price; actual out‑of‑pocket costs are usually lower if you have health insurance.
• Copays and coinsurance are influenced by your specific insurance plan (network coverage, deductible, prior‑authorization rules, etc.).
• Because Teriparatide is a high‑cost medication, many insurers require step‑therapy or prior authorization before approval.
• If you’re paying cash, you can usually get a discount by ordering a 3‑ or 6‑month supply at a pharmacy that runs a “cash‑pay” program or by using a patient assistance program.

Where to check your exact cost

1. Check with your pharmacy – they can tell you the exact cash price and any discount programs.
2. Ask your insurance – they can provide the exact copay/coinsurance and whether the drug is covered.
3. Visit the Forteo Patient Assistance Program website – you’ll need to provide income information and medical documentation to qualify.

If you need more specific information (e.g., exact copay for a particular insurance plan), let me know your insurer or any other details you can share, and I’ll help you find the most relevant information.
