About Gibson Healthcare Buffered Hemostatic Solution and its cost

What is this medication? Hemodent is a specialized topical agent primarily used in the field of dentistry to control minor bleeding from soft tissues. It typically contains aluminum chloride, which acts as a powerful astringent and hemostatic agent. Dentists use this solution to manage gingival oozing and stop small hemorrhages that can occur during various clinical procedures, ensuring a clean and dry working environment. The medication works by causing local tissue contraction and protein precipitation at the site of application, which effectively seals off small capillaries. It is commonly applied during the process of taking dental impressions, placing restorations, or performing crown and bridge work where moisture and blood control are critical for success. By stabilizing the surrounding tissue, it helps healthcare providers achieve more accurate results and improves the overall efficiency of the dental treatment.

Gibson Healthcare Buffered Hemostatic Solution is made by Premier Dental Products. 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 Gibson Healthcare Buffered Hemostatic Solution?

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 Gibson Healthcare Buffered Hemostatic Solution?

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

Does my Medicare Part D plan cover Gibson Healthcare Buffered Hemostatic Solution?

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 Hemorrhage?

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.
