About XYLOCAIN (LIDOCAINE HCl ) and its cost

What is this medication? Xylocaine, which contains the active ingredient lidocaine hydrochloride, is a medication primarily used as a local anesthetic to prevent pain during various medical, dental, or surgical procedures. It works by temporarily blocking the conduction of nerve impulses, which stops the transmission of pain signals from the affected area to the brain. This allows healthcare providers to perform minor operations, such as stitching a wound or performing a biopsy, while the patient remains comfortable and free of sensation in the specific treatment site. In addition to its use as a numbing agent, Xylocaine is employed in certain clinical settings to treat life-threatening heart rhythm problems, such as ventricular arrhythmias. When administered through an intravenous injection or infusion, it helps stabilize the heart's electrical signals to restore a normal heartbeat. The medication is also available in several topical forms, including gels and sprays, to provide relief from minor skin irritations, burns, or discomfort associated with diagnostic procedures involving the throat or urinary tract.

XYLOCAIN (LIDOCAINE HCl ) 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 XYLOCAIN (LIDOCAINE HCl )?

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 XYLOCAIN (LIDOCAINE HCl )?

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 XYLOCAIN (LIDOCAINE HCl )?

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 Pain?

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.
