About Vienva TM and its cost
What is this medication? Vienva is a combined oral contraceptive pill that is primarily used to prevent pregnancy in women. It contains two types of female hormones, which are a progestin called levonorgestrel and an estrogen called ethinyl estradiol. This medication works by preventing the release of an egg from the ovaries and by making changes to the cervical mucus and uterine lining. These combined actions make it much harder for sperm to reach an egg and for a fertilized egg to attach to the uterus. In addition to its use as birth control, doctors may prescribe Vienva to help regulate menstrual cycles or treat moderate acne in females who have started their periods. To be most effective, the pill must be taken exactly as directed, usually once a day at the same time each day. It is important to note that this medication is intended only for pregnancy prevention and does not provide protection against human immunodeficiency virus or other sexually transmitted infections.
Vienva TM is made by Xiromed, LLC. 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 Vienva TM?
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 Vienva TM?
No — federal law (the Anti-Kickback Statute) prohibits manufacturer copay cards on Medicare, Medicaid, TriCare, and VA prescriptions. But Xiromed, LLC has a separate Patient Assistance Program for Medicare beneficiaries. Check the options above.
Does my Medicare Part D plan cover Vienva TM?
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.
