572651 tn?1530999357 I was told my cost on Nuvigil and generic Provigil is the same --- 30 doses with a co-pay of $75. Enjoy your good fortune Lulu. Your insurance always seems to treat you well.
620048 tn?1358018235 With my mail order pharmacy the cost for 90 days (1 pill per day) is $970.20 without insurance and with my insurance the cost to me is $220.91. I believe this one is worth every penny. My insurance had never approved Provigil so my doctor was giving me samples. The Nuvigil is lower in cost so my insurance company approved it without much of a fight. I was only able to take a small dose (cutting the pill so 50mg - 100mg with permission from the manufacturer and my doctor) of Provigil.
1142551 tn?1264736930 I have been prescribed Provigil for my fatigue and my insurance (state assistance) will not cover the cost. I asked the pharmacy how much it would be just to buy it and he said it cost 500.00 monthly. My question is if anyone knows of a prescription assistance program or an online pharmacy that I can get this medication for a cheaper price.
Avatar n tn Hello, I am a 29 yo F who was diagnosed with MS in 1998. I have been doing awesome on provigil for the last 7 years. Now my insurance company will not pay for it, and I surely can't afford $380 per month for this. I have recently run out of the dr's samples and my last prescription. My dr has done everything they can think of to fight this and I have done the same. If anyone has any ideas I would greatly appreciate it. I am just tired all of the time.
Avatar f tn Hi I was rx.ed Provigil but my insurance denied me too. They did accept Ritalin , I've been on it a week .. It helped a little with the fatigue but I was being cautious , I never took a full dose ( I'm sensitive to many drugs) I see neuro tomorrow and am going to try to get Adderall instead , its suppose to have a smoother effect.
Avatar f tn i have been taking vyvanse which has been one of the best medications that i have been given over the last several years---unfortunately, it is expensive without insurance. i have been having to pay around $158 dollars a month for it. provigil didn't do a whole lot for me.
572651 tn?1530999357 Insurance would not approve for my fatigue and denied the appeal. The cost was extremely high without insurance. I called a million different pharmacies and found that Costco has it cheap without insurance for $50 for 45? Maybe? Call to be sure. Now I just buy it without insurance approval. Also you can ask your pharmacy to order from the cheapest manufacturer, they don't always do by the way.
Avatar f tn I am tired, lack energy and have brain fog. My insurance won't authorize Provigil, because I don't have narcolepsy. Is there a medication that would work similarly to Provigil? I might have MS - need to do a repeat brain MRI. I would very much appreciate any feedback. Thank you!
Avatar f tn Arrrggh! Now my prescription insurance is balking about paying for Provigil and requires preauthorization! What the heck is that, except another bureaucratic hurdle to scare off the faint of heart, or the weary. It seems to me that a prescription *IS* a preauthorization, for heaven's sake. If a doctor doesn't want a patient to get whatever substance, he or she won't prescribe it. I've been through this before, and it's maddening. Not surprised, though.
1207048 tn?1282174304 There is a website called GOODRX. It considerably lowers the cost of meds. I have no insurance. My provigil costs me $80. Nuvigil is about $93. It really is a lifesaver!!! There are MANY different meds on there. It will tell you what to do and all that. The app is freaken awesome. I could never afford the meds i'm on without it. Hope this helps! Be blessed...
Avatar f tn Good news/bad news. Bad news is that my insurance has never approved Provigil but my doctor always had a plenty of samples for me. Now, no more samples. Has anyone tried the generic Provigil? I've been given the new Nuvigil to try for a week. If that also works then we will fight my insurance company for that. Just checking to see if anyone has tried the new medicine or the generic form.
Avatar f tn How do I suggest to my PCP that I would like Provigil or Adderall for my EXTREME fatigue, to the poing of falling asleep while driving, without seeming to be drug seeking.? I have got to have something, I drive for a living! I am so afraid of having a wreck, but I can't tell my job I have this problem. I have to have this job for the insurance, since if I went on disability I couldn't get medicare for 2 years, and how do you pay for insurance on the pittance you get for disability?
1396846 tn?1332459510 Well I went to see my neuro today for the extreme fatigue I have been having. First off, I was quite pleased that he was on time today so I didn't have to wait in the waiting room for an hour before he called me back. I also found out today that he does specialize in MS. I was reading those certifications and other things they have around the office. He prescribed me provigil, now I have to wait to see if it will be approved through my insurance.
1088527 tn?1425313375 hey Sarah provigil went generic now so maybe your insurance will cover it? I am taking 200mg I can half the pills .
Avatar m tn t help, they try something else and only as last resort will they Rx provigil, due to cost and health issues(heart depression,etc)
572651 tn?1530999357 Hypothetically,I understand why people do this, but I'm to much a coward. in the United States, Provigil is a Schedule IV controlled substance, which means it's illegal to import it from a foreign source. Being caught without a rx could be 5 years and 200,000 fine. Just a thought to add to the musings.
1831920 tn?1320857757 I have heard a lot of good things about things about provigil in treating depression if coupled with an antidepressent. Has anyone tried this? I am having a hard time functioning. Any help would be appreciated.
5509293 tn?1428531475 I have been taking nuvigil 250mg every morning since 2009. Now 2015 my insurance will not pay. My dr has send everything insurance ask for. So my dr put me on Modofinil 200mg 2 every morning I'm paying 299.99 for 30 pills because my insurance is saying its for people with sleep disorders or shift workers.
198419 tn?1360242356 No one covers it, but many insurance companies have lowered the cost. It cost me $225 a month last year and this year is down to $85 a month. There are also clauses about medicare bumping you off their lists and so on, so read the fine print and save some time later.
405614 tn?1329144114 Kathy, i would definitely go through the doctor for the appeal - the insurance company is very likely to dismiss your request without giving it full consideration. You could call them and talk to someone about the appeal process and get their inside opinion. I find the customer service reps for my insurance company are usually very personable and helpful (but sometimes I get one that is stinky!).
429700 tn?1308007823 After all this time, three years at least, my insurance company is no longer approving me for Provigil. This drug is the one thing that I've taken that has made a huge impact on the quality of my life. Without it, I'm unable to think clearly and I'm too fatigued to get up out of bed or off the couch. I may have to retire on disability because there's no way I will be able to teach. The drug also helps with the ADD (diagnosed after the MS as an adult, LOL).
Avatar f tn I'm also on Provigil. Currently my insurance company won't pay for it but I am getting enough "samples" from my doctor. My doctor tried me on Vynasse (whatever the spelling - new one that starts with a V). I had a horrible time using that. I felt like a rabbit on speed. I wanted to get up and start doing jumping-jacks but since my legs weren't working at that time that wasn't an option. It took a lot of will-power not to just get up and try and run around.
1511858 tn?1290477459 I never did get the insurance company to approve my Provigil. Without Provigil I feel absolutely gross--fatigued, lack of energy, and about as smart as a rock. I will be seeing my neurologist in a couple of weeks and am going to see if there's something else that can be done to help my fatigue. I also have a thyroid issue and hair loss. My hair loss comes and goes and I don't think it's related to the Provigil.
