About Manganese and its cost

What is this medication? Manganese is an essential trace mineral that is primarily used as a nutritional supplement for patients receiving total parenteral nutrition. When individuals are unable to consume food orally or cannot properly absorb nutrients through their digestive tract, manganese is added to intravenous feeding solutions to maintain the body's necessary levels of this element. It functions as a critical cofactor for several enzyme systems that are responsible for the metabolism of amino acids, cholesterol, and carbohydrates.

Beyond its metabolic functions, this medication is important for the healthy development of bone tissue and the regulation of the immune system. It also helps protect cells from oxidative damage by supporting the activity of certain antioxidant enzymes within the body. Because it is delivered intravenously in a clinical setting, healthcare providers carefully monitor levels to prevent deficiency while ensuring that the mineral does not accumulate to toxic levels during long-term therapy.

Manganese is made by American Regent. 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 Manganese?

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 Manganese?

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

Does my Medicare Part D plan cover Manganese?

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 Low Blood Pressure?

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.
