How much does Movantik cost with Medicare (typical out-of-pocket)?
The price patients pay for Movantik (naloxegol) under Medicare depends mainly on which Medicare plan they’re on (Original Medicare vs. Medicare Advantage), whether they have Part D drug coverage, and the specific pharmacy and formulary tier. The provided information doesn’t include any Medicare-specific pricing figures for Movantik.
Because out-of-pocket costs vary by plan and location, you’ll usually need to confirm the number through:
- your Part D plan’s formulary (tier placement and copay/coinsurance),
- your pharmacy’s price for the product size you use,
- any applicable coverage limits.
Is Movantik covered by Medicare Part D?
Movantik is commonly accessed through Medicare Part D, but whether it is covered (and at what cost) depends on the individual Part D plan’s formulary rules (including prior authorization or step therapy in some cases). Specific coverage and cost require plan-level confirmation.
