trigger shot

pawcall

If you trigger your ovulation, how much do you pay for the trigger?  My RE's office says I can get it from them for $70, or I can try to have my pharmacy order it and see if insurance will pay.  I think I'll be triggering tomorrow so for simplicity's sake, I think I'll just buy it from the doctor, but I guess if I need to keep doing it in future cycles, I'd like to do a little more research on whether my pharmacy is likely to have it the day I need it, and whether insurance covers it at all.  It would help if I knew what they were prescribing, of course I don't, just that it's a sub-q shot.

I was quoted $49.95 for Ovidrel with self-pay at my new pharmacy with my clinic's discount. I think it was twice as much with the pharmacy we used with insurance.

@pawcall it depends on your insurance. I take Ovridrel which is considered a controlled substance so I had to order it from a special pharmacy and they mailed it to my house and I had to sign for it. It was about $150 after insurance. my insurance also needed a hard copy of the script so it took a while to actually arrive once the dr prescribed it.

I had to order from a specialty mail order pharmacy, but thankfully with insurance it was only $10

Mine is $100. I have to order it from a specialty pharmacy. Insurance doesn't cover any of it though.
