About Buprenorphine and Naloxone and its cost

What is this medication? Buprenorphine and naloxone is a combination prescription medication primarily used to treat opioid use disorder. This medication works by targeting the same receptors in the brain as other opioids, such as heroin or prescription painkillers, but it produces much weaker effects. The buprenorphine component helps to significantly reduce cravings and minimize the physical symptoms of withdrawal, making it easier for individuals to discontinue the use of more harmful substances.

The inclusion of naloxone serves as a safeguard to prevent the misuse of the medication. If the treatment is taken as directed, the naloxone has little effect, but if it is dissolved and injected, it can trigger immediate withdrawal symptoms. This combination is typically prescribed as part of a comprehensive recovery plan that includes counseling, social support, and behavioral therapies to help patients maintain long-term sobriety and improve their overall quality of life.

Buprenorphine and Naloxone is made by Indivior. 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 Buprenorphine and Naloxone?

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 Buprenorphine and Naloxone?

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

Does my Medicare Part D plan cover Buprenorphine and Naloxone?

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 Opioid Addiction?

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.
