About Norethindrone Acetate and Ethinyl Estradiol and Ferrous Fumarate and its cost

What is this medication? Norethindrone acetate and ethinyl estradiol with ferrous fumarate is a prescription combination hormonal contraceptive used primarily to prevent pregnancy. It contains two types of hormones, a progestin and an estrogen, which work together to inhibit ovulation and alter the cervical mucus and uterine lining to prevent fertilization and implantation. When taken correctly, it is a highly effective method of birth control for women of reproductive age. Beyond its use as a contraceptive, this medication is frequently used to manage menstrual issues such as irregular periods or heavy menstrual bleeding. It can also help decrease the physical discomfort and cramping often associated with monthly cycles. The ferrous fumarate component consists of iron supplements, which are typically included in the non-hormonal reminder pills to help prevent iron deficiency that can occur due to blood loss during menstruation.

Norethindrone Acetate and Ethinyl Estradiol and Ferrous Fumarate is made by AbbVie. 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 Norethindrone Acetate and Ethinyl Estradiol and Ferrous Fumarate?

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 Norethindrone Acetate and Ethinyl Estradiol and Ferrous Fumarate?

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

Does my Medicare Part D plan cover Norethindrone Acetate and Ethinyl Estradiol and Ferrous Fumarate?

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 Oral Contraception?

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.
