How Much Does Cotempla Cost With Health Insurance?

The cost of Cotempla with health insurance depends on the details of your specific policy. Your cost depends on your co-pay, deductible, and any co-insurance requirements in your insurance policy. Reach out to your insurance company to determine how much a Cotempla prescription would cost you.

Commercial Insurance

Coverage of Cotempla prescriptions varies between the many different prescription insurance options available. To determine if your prescription insurance covers Cotempla, call the number on the back of your insurance card. Some insurance plans might offer coverage with a prior authorization (PA) or with an exception.

Prior authorizations and exceptions require forms to be filled out by your prescriber that express a special need for a medication that is not traditionally accepted by your insurance. Even after completing a PA, your insurance decides whether coverage is necessary or not. The PA process can take a long time, and PAs can be avoided by using non-insurance aid if you qualify.¹

Medicare

Cotempla is not currently covered by Medicare Part D, which is the Medicare coverage for prescription drugs. Medicare is insurance for adults aged 65+ with few exceptions. It is possible to request an exception for medications that are not currently covered by Medicare. If you do have Medicare prescription insurance and are prescribed Cotempla, you could either submit an exception request for Cotempla or you could discuss similar medications with your prescriber.²

Medicaid

Medicaid may cover Cotempla, but coverage depends on the state you live in. All of the medications your state’s Medicaid will pay for are located on their preferred drug list (PDL). Different states require additional information from your healthcare provider before they cover the drug, which is called a prior authorization. If you qualify for Medicaid, your state determines the type, amount, duration, and scope of services within the broad federal Medicaid guidelines. Review your PDL or contact your state Medicaid office to see if Cotempla is covered by your state’s plan.³

TRICARE

TRICARE is insurance offered by the United States Department of Defense. This insurance is available for military members and their direct family members. TRICARE plans vary depending on where you live, so you should check with your personal TRICARE plan to determine whether Cotempla is covered by your insurance. Also, reach out to your Veterans Affairs (VA) for help determining if Cotempla is covered by your TRICARE plan. For some plans, a prior authorization or PA may be required to get Cotempla covered by your insurance.⁴

Cotempla Coupons & Discount Cards

Cotempla discount cards typically take a percentage off of each prescription or lower the copay to a set amount. Discount cards can be used with or without insurance, so it is important to read through the requirements of any discount card you wish to use. You can get discount cards through your pharmacy, the medication manufacturer, and coupon websites such as GoodRx and SingleCare.^{5, 6}

Because Cotempla is a controlled substance, it is best to check with the pharmacy to determine if they accept coupon cards for controlled medications. Cotempla does not have a manufacturer discount card but does have a patient assistance program through their manufacturer.

HSA Accounts

A health savings account (HSA) is a feature of high-deductible health insurance plans. With an HSA, you can set aside pre-tax money from your paycheck to pay for qualified health expenses. This means the money you contribute to this account is not subject to federal taxes, leaving the full amount available for use. Contact your company directly to learn if your Cotempla prescription qualifies.¹⁰

Ask Your Prescriber for Samples

Your prescriber may have Cotempla medication samples available, which would provide you with short-term supply of the medication. Requesting a sample gives you a chance to try the medication for a short time before filling a prescription.

Ask About Getting a 90-day Supply

If your provider decides to offer you a Cotempla prescription, a 90-day supply can cost less than getting monthly refills. This approach also reduces the number of refills needed per year. Mail-order pharmacies generally offer 90-day supplies, reducing the costs of shipping packaging materials for the pharmacy and patient.

Fill Your Prescription by Mail-order

Using a mail-order pharmacy is another way to get your medication at a reduced cost. Your provider will call in the prescription directly, then your medication will be delivered after a week or two. Mail-order prescriptions work well for medications with no temperature sensitivities and those used for treating chronic conditions.¹¹

How to Get a Cotempla Prescription

To get a prescription for Cotempla, start with your primary provider. This may be a physician, nurse practitioner, physician assistant. They already know your medical history and needs, so they may be able to do an evaluation of your ADHD symptoms. Alternatively, they may refer you to an ADHD specialist or psychiatrist. A provider doing an evaluation will consider your medical history, medications, and other factors before determining if a Cotempla prescription may be suitable.

To get prescribed Cotempla online, you will also start by getting an evaluation from an online psychiatric provider that can and will prescribe controlled substances. Because of the limitations on prescribing stimulant medications, this process can be challenging. We have used and thoroughly reviewed two such platforms, ADHD Online and Circle Medical, and found them to be helpful starting points for getting an ADHD evaluation.

Cotempla may not always be available due to potential shortages of ADHD medications. Your provider may choose an alternative if Cotempla is not available or suitable for you.
