About Methyltestosterone and its cost

What is this medication? Methyltestosterone is an oral synthetic androgen hormone that serves as a man-made version of testosterone. It is primarily prescribed for men who have low levels of natural testosterone caused by medical conditions such as hypogonadism. By acting as a hormone replacement, it helps to promote and maintain typical male physical features and functions. It is also used in some instances to treat delayed puberty in teenage boys who require hormonal assistance to initiate the physical changes associated with maturation.

In addition to its applications for male patients, methyltestosterone is sometimes used in women to treat specific forms of advanced breast cancer that has spread throughout the body. Occasionally, it may be prescribed to manage vasomotor symptoms like hot flashes during menopause when other therapies are unsuitable. The medication functions by supplementing the body with androgens or by altering the hormonal environment to slow the progression of certain diseases or address specific hormonal imbalances.

Methyltestosterone is made by Bausch Health. 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 Methyltestosterone?

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 Methyltestosterone?

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

Does my Medicare Part D plan cover Methyltestosterone?

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 Hypogonadism?

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.
