About POTASSIUM PHOSPHATES and its cost
What is this medication? Potassium phosphates is a prescription medication used primarily to treat or prevent low levels of phosphorus in the blood, which is medically referred to as hypophosphatemia. This medication provides a source of phosphorus, an essential mineral that is crucial for maintaining strong bones, producing energy, and supporting the healthy function of cells and tissues. Because it contains potassium as well, it also helps maintain the body's electrolyte balance, which is necessary for proper nerve signals, muscle contractions, and heart health.
This medication is often administered intravenously in a hospital setting, particularly for patients who cannot consume adequate nutrition orally. It is a common component of total parenteral nutrition, where it is mixed with other nutrients and fluids to meet the body's requirements during severe illness or recovery from surgery. Additionally, potassium phosphates may be used to increase the acidity of the urine, a process that can help prevent certain types of kidney stones or aid in the management of specific urinary conditions.
POTASSIUM PHOSPHATES is made by Fresenius Kabi. 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 POTASSIUM PHOSPHATES?
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 POTASSIUM PHOSPHATES?
No — federal law (the Anti-Kickback Statute) prohibits manufacturer copay cards on Medicare, Medicaid, TriCare, and VA prescriptions. But Fresenius Kabi has a separate Patient Assistance Program for Medicare beneficiaries. Check the options above.
Does my Medicare Part D plan cover POTASSIUM PHOSPHATES?
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 Familial Hypophosphatemia?
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.
