About Corvert and its cost

What is this medication? Corvert is a prescription medication, also known by the generic name ibutilide fumarate, that belongs to a group of drugs called antiarrhythmics. It is specifically used for the rapid conversion of atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter of recent onset to a normal heart rhythm, which is known as sinus rhythm. This medication is essential for patients experiencing these types of irregular heartbeats, as it helps restore the heart's natural pumping efficiency and prevents potential complications associated with prolonged arrhythmias.

This medication is administered intravenously by a healthcare professional in a clinical setting, such as a hospital, where the patient's heart rate and rhythm can be continuously monitored. Corvert works by altering the flow of certain electrolytes into the heart muscle cells, which lengthens the time it takes for the heart to recharge between beats. Because this drug can sometimes cause new or worsening heart rhythm disturbances, medical supervision and specialized cardiac monitoring are required for several hours following the infusion to ensure patient safety.

Corvert is made by Pfizer. 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 Corvert?

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 Corvert?

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

Does my Medicare Part D plan cover Corvert?

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 Atrial Fibrillation?

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.
