Save on Follistim?

LME06

For those who have taken follistim before...have you found a coupon anywhere to help save some money? My insurance covers it, but it's third tier and still pretty pricey. TIA!!

Try asking your REs office.  I know I've seen little tents set up with money saving cards to use

ETA: A lot of times, the coupons are good for OOP patients only. They might not apply to a copay.

Is that for the pen? My insurance's cheap way out was giving me about 50, 75 iu vials that you draw into a syringe. You could ask if that would be cheaper for you. It is just more painful than the pens.

My RE office ordered mine from Walgreens Specialty Pharmacy with a coupon, and I got it for free.

If you are going with a pen, get the 300iu cartridges. They are all over-filled by about 100, so you get a lot more with 3 300 cartridges than 1 900 cartridge. GL!

Well damn, I wish my REs office had that same coupon. I had mine filled thru Walgreens Specialty and if you're OOP, the 300 pen is $254, the 600 pen is $508 and the 900 pen is $762. Follistim is tier two for me and even then they don't cover it until you have clinically documented fails with Gonal-F, so I'm just going OOP. It's significantly cheaper to pay OOP for Follistim than it is to use insurance for Gonal-F. Go figure.
