About DOCTORS CHOICE and its cost

What is this medication? Doctors Choice is a brand of emergency contraceptive pill that contains levonorgestrel as its active ingredient. It is designed to be used by women to prevent pregnancy after unprotected sexual intercourse or when a primary contraceptive method, such as a condom or regular birth control pill, has failed. The medication primarily works by preventing or delaying the release of an egg from the ovary, which helps ensure that fertilization does not take place. This medication is intended for emergency situations only and should not be used as a routine form of birth control. To achieve the highest level of effectiveness, it must be taken as soon as possible, preferably within 72 hours of the incident. It is important to understand that Doctors Choice is not an abortion pill; it will not end an existing pregnancy and does not provide protection against sexually transmitted diseases. If a person is already pregnant, the medication will not be effective.

DOCTORS CHOICE is made by Mankind Pharma Ltd.. 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 DOCTORS CHOICE?

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 DOCTORS CHOICE?

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

Does my Medicare Part D plan cover DOCTORS CHOICE?

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 Fluoride Treatment?

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.
