About UROCIT-K and its cost

What is this medication? Urocit-K is a prescription medication primarily used to manage certain types of kidney stone conditions and metabolic issues. It contains potassium citrate, which works as a urinary alkalizer to decrease the acidity of the urine. By increasing the levels of citrate in the urine and raising the pH, the medication helps prevent the formation of crystals that lead to kidney stones. It is commonly prescribed for patients with renal tubular acidosis, calcium oxalate stones, or uric acid stones.

In addition to preventing new stone formation, this medication helps to dissolve certain types of existing stones or stop them from growing larger. It is often used as part of a long-term management plan that includes dietary changes and increased fluid intake. Patients taking this medication are usually monitored through regular urine tests to ensure the pH levels remain within a target range. Because it is an extended-release tablet, it must be swallowed whole to ensure the medicine is released slowly into the system.

UROCIT-K is made by Mission. 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 UROCIT-K?

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 UROCIT-K?

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

Does my Medicare Part D plan cover UROCIT-K?

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 Hypocalcemia?

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.
