About BROMFENAC SODIUM and its cost

What is this medication? Bromfenac sodium is a prescription ophthalmic solution classified as a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug, also known as an NSAID. It is specifically formulated for use in the eyes to manage inflammation and alleviate pain following cataract surgery. The medication works by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins, which are natural chemicals in the body that trigger swelling, redness, and discomfort during the healing process.

This medication is typically administered as eye drops once or twice daily, starting shortly before or after the surgical procedure. It is essential for patients to use the drops exactly as directed by their healthcare provider to ensure the best recovery outcomes. While using the medication, patients should take care to prevent the dropper tip from touching any surfaces, including the eye itself, to avoid contamination. Common side effects may include a temporary stinging sensation or mild eye irritation upon application.

BROMFENAC SODIUM is made by Bausch Lomb. Like most brand-name drugs, it's priced at a high list price — but patients rarely pay that list price. The options above are the real paths most people use to get it affordably.

Common questions

What's the cheapest way to afford BROMFENAC SODIUM?

It depends on your insurance. On Medicare, apply for the manufacturer's Patient Assistance Program (PAP) — it gives the drug free if you meet income requirements. With private insurance, the manufacturer copay card usually drops your copay to $0-$25. Uninsured patients should compare the PAP with Cost Plus Drugs cash price.

Can I use a copay card with Medicare for BROMFENAC SODIUM?

No — federal law (the Anti-Kickback Statute) prohibits manufacturer copay cards on Medicare, Medicaid, TriCare, and VA prescriptions. But Bausch Lomb has a separate Patient Assistance Program for Medicare beneficiaries. Check the options above.

Does my Medicare Part D plan cover BROMFENAC SODIUM?

Part D coverage varies by plan. We query the CMS Prescription Drug Plan file to show you what percentage of plans cover it and at what tier. For your exact copay, pick "Medicare" above and check your plan's Summary of Benefits, or log in to Medicare.gov.

How long does a Patient Assistance Program take?

Most PAPs take 2-6 weeks from application to first fill. Ask the manufacturer about a "bridge supply" — many will ship 30 days free while your application is being reviewed so you don't go without the drug.

What if I have a high-deductible plan?

For generics, Cost Plus Drugs cash price is often cheaper than your deductible-phase copay. For brand names, the manufacturer copay card almost always wins. A GoodRx coupon can be a last resort for uncovered drugs, but it doesn't count toward your deductible.

Are there charity grants for Cataract?

Charities like HealthWell Foundation, PAN Foundation, Good Days, and the National Organization for Rare Disorders provide copay help for specific conditions. Funds often run out mid-year — apply early. We list the specific grants for your condition in the options above.
