About Velivet Triphasic Regimen and its cost

What is this medication? Velivet Triphasic Regimen is a prescription oral contraceptive used primarily to prevent pregnancy. It is classified as a combination hormonal pill because it contains two types of female hormones, desogestrel and ethinyl estradiol. As a triphasic medication, the dosage of these hormones changes at three different stages throughout the monthly cycle to more closely mimic the natural hormonal fluctuations found in a woman's body. This mechanism primarily works by preventing ovulation, which is the release of an egg from the ovaries during the menstrual cycle.

In addition to preventing pregnancy, this medication may provide other health benefits related to the reproductive system. It can help make menstrual periods more regular, decrease blood loss and painful cramping, and lower the risk of developing ovarian cysts. Some healthcare providers also prescribe it to treat moderate acne in women who have started their menstrual cycles and desire a reliable form of birth control. It is important to remember that while this medication is highly effective at preventing pregnancy, it does not offer protection against HIV or other sexually transmitted infections.

Velivet Triphasic Regimen is made by Teva. 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 Velivet Triphasic Regimen?

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 Velivet Triphasic Regimen?

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

Does my Medicare Part D plan cover Velivet Triphasic Regimen?

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 Birth Control?

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.
