How much does AS-3 cost?

Pricing for AS-3 varies by insurance plan, dose, and pharmacy. Our database does not show a fixed cost because prices change faster than we can verify. For current pharmacy prices, check your insurance's formulary tier (in the prior-authorization section), use the GoodRx or Cost Plus Drugs deep links on this page, or ask your pharmacist to run a test claim. If a copay card is listed, it usually drops the out-of-pocket significantly for commercial insurance.

Does AS-3 need prior authorization?

AS-3 appears on 1 payer formulary in our database. PA requirements vary by payer — see the prior-authorization table on this page for specifics. In general, specialty and brand-name drugs are more likely to require PA than generic equivalents.

Is there a copay card or patient assistance program for AS-3?

We haven't verified an active copay card or PAP for AS-3 in our current data. Check NeedyMeds or RxAssist for independent directories, or submit what you find via our "Report a broken link" form.
