Frequently asked questions

Yes. The drug’s manufacturer, Axsome Therapeutics, offers an Auvelity Savings Card that could help lower your out-of-pocket costs.

If you qualify, the savings card may cover part of your insurance copay for Auvelity. It may be used along with insurance that you get through an employer or pay for yourself. It cannot be combined with government-issued insurance, such as Medicaid or Medicare.

The cost of Auvelity with insurance versus without insurance can vary based on several factors.

Some factors that may affect your cost of Auvelity without insurance include:

  • your treatment plan and dosage
  • the pharmacy you choose
  • the quantity of Auvelity you receive (such as a 30-day or 90-day supply)
  • any cost savings programs you qualify for

The same factors affect your cost of the drug if you’re paying through insurance. But in addition, your cost with insurance may depend on:

  • your specific plan benefits
  • any prior authorization requirements for your plan (see note below)

To find out more about your cost with and without insurance, check with your doctor, pharmacist, or insurance provider (if you have one). Whether you have insurance or not, you can visit Optum Perks to get price estimates for Auvelity when you use coupons from the site. (Optum Perks is a sister site of Healthline.) It’s important to note that Optum Perks coupons cannot be used with any insurance copays or benefits.

Note: If your plan requires prior authorization, your insurer and your doctor will discuss Auvelity in regard to your treatment. Then the insurance company will determine whether the drug is covered.
