About Incassia and its cost

What is this medication? Incassia is a prescription oral contraceptive known as a progestin-only pill, which is also commonly referred to as a mini-pill. It contains the active hormone norethindrone and is used primarily as a method to prevent pregnancy. Because this medication does not contain any estrogen, it is frequently prescribed to individuals who may be sensitive to estrogen or those who are currently breastfeeding and require a birth control option that does not interfere with milk production. The medication works to prevent pregnancy through several different mechanisms. It primarily functions by thickening the cervical mucus, which creates a physical barrier that makes it much harder for sperm to reach an egg. It also alters the lining of the uterus to prevent the implantation of a fertilized egg and may suppress ovulation in some users. For the medication to be most effective, it must be taken at the exact same time every single day. It is important to remember that Incassia is intended for pregnancy prevention and does not provide protection against the transmission of HIV or other sexually transmitted infections.

Incassia is made by Amneal Pharmaceuticals. 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 Incassia?

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 Incassia?

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

Does my Medicare Part D plan cover Incassia?

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 Birth Control?

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.
