About Ceanothus americanus and its cost

What is this medication? Ceanothus americanus, commonly known as New Jersey Tea, is a botanical remedy primarily utilized in homeopathic medicine to address conditions associated with the spleen. It is frequently indicated for individuals suffering from splenomegaly, which is an enlargement of the spleen, or for those experiencing persistent pain or pressure in the left side of the upper abdomen. Practitioners often prescribe this substance when a patient exhibits symptoms such as chronic inflammation or congestion of the splenic tissue, often linked to systemic issues like malaria or certain blood disorders. Beyond its primary focus on the spleen, Ceanothus americanus is sometimes employed to manage liver-related ailments and various respiratory conditions. Historically, the plant has been used as an astringent and to treat throat irritations or bronchitis due to its chemical properties. In a clinical context, it is believed to help regulate the functions of the blood-forming organs and may be used as part of a broader treatment plan for metabolic disturbances. As with many specialized remedies, it is typically administered in diluted forms under the guidance of a healthcare professional to ensure safety and efficacy.

Ceanothus americanus is made by Boiron. 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 Ceanothus americanus?

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 Ceanothus americanus?

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

Does my Medicare Part D plan cover Ceanothus americanus?

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 Enlarged Spleen?

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.
