Check your insurance plan’s formulary. This document lists covered medications and their tiers. Cialis’s coverage varies widely.
Many plans cover Cialis, but the copay depends on your plan’s tier system.
- Tier 1 (lowest cost): Unlikely for brand-name Cialis. Tier 2 (moderate cost): More common for brand-name Cialis. Tier 3 (higher cost): Possible for brand-name Cialis. Generic tadalafil might be on a lower tier. Tier 4 (highest cost): Less likely, but possible depending on your plan.
Consider generic tadalafil. It’s usually cheaper and often covered at a lower tier than brand-name Cialis.
Contact your insurance provider directly. They can confirm Cialis coverage, your copay, and any prior authorization requirements.
Call your insurer’s customer service number. Use their online member portal to check your benefits. Ask about any needed pre-authorization.
Explore your pharmacy’s discount programs. Many pharmacies offer prescription discounts, even with insurance.
Compare prices. Don’t hesitate to check several pharmacies’ prices, both in-person and online.
