About This Medication

# ANNOVERA Patient Savings Program: How to Get Your Birth Control Ring at Low or No Cost ## About ANNOVERA ANNOVERA is a **vaginal contraceptive ring** that provides one year of pregnancy prevention with a single insertion. Unlike other birth control methods that require monthly or weekly changes, ANNOVERA offers continuous protection for 12 months, making it a convenient long-acting hormonal contraceptive option. The ring releases segesterone acetate and ethinyl estradiol to prevent pregnancy.[2] ## Who Qualifies for the ANNOVERA Patient Savings Program The ANNOVERA Patient Savings Program is designed to make this contraceptive accessible and affordable. **Most patients with commercial insurance pay $0 for their annual ANNOVERA prescription** through this program.[2][7] You may be eligible if you: - Have a **commercial medical or prescription insurance plan** (including healthcare exchange plans)[7] - Have met your insurance deductible[7] - Have a copayment responsibility for ANNOVERA[7] - Are not enrolled in Medicare, Medicaid, TRICARE, Medicare Advantage, Part D, Medigap, VHA, DOD, IHS, or state pharmaceutical assistance programs[6][7] - Are not a cash-paying patient[6] - Do not have a private indemnity or HMO insurance plan that fully reimburses prescription costs[6] ## Income Eligibility The ANNOVERA Patient Savings Program does not have specific income thresholds. Instead, eligibility is primarily based on **insurance type and coverage status**. If you have qualifying commercial insurance and have met your deductible, you may be eligible regardless of income level.[7] If you are uninsured or have limited income, you may qualify for other assistance: - **Medicare Extra Help Program**: If you have Medicare Part D, you may qualify for the Low-Income Subsidy (LIS) program, which reduces out-of-pocket costs[4] - **State Pharmaceutical Assistance Programs**: Depending on your state, additional resources may be available[4] - **Medicine Assistance Tool and NeedyMeds**: These websites provide information about drug assistance programs and savings options[1][5] ## Insurance Requirements To use the ANNOVERA Patient Savings Program: - You must have **active commercial insurance** that covers ANNOVERA at the time your prescription is filled[6][7] - Your insurance plan must be valid and cover the prescription[6] - You cannot be enrolled in federal or state-funded healthcare programs[6][7] - If your insurance plan does not cover ANNOVERA or you face coverage barriers, your healthcare provider can submit a **letter of medical necessity** to help secure coverage with no copayment, as birth control coverage is mandated under the Affordable Care Act (ACA)[7] ## How to Apply: Step-by-Step **Step 1: Get a Prescription** Talk with your healthcare provider about ANNOVERA. Your provider will determine if ANNOVERA is appropriate for you based on your health history and contraceptive needs.

This card is your key to accessing the savings program.[2][7] **Step 3: Present Your Card at the Pharmacy** When filling your ANNOVERA prescription, provide the copay card to your pharmacist along with your insurance information. The card works at most major pharmacies.[2] **Step 4: Verify Your Eligibility** Your pharmacist will verify that you meet program eligibility requirements at the time of dispensing. If you qualify, your copayment will be reduced to $0 for the full year of contraception.[7] **Step 5: Receive Your Medication** Once verified, you'll receive your ANNOVERA ring with no copayment required.[2] ## Application Timeline and Delivery The ANNOVERA Patient Savings Program offers **rapid access**: - **Verification**: Eligibility is typically verified at the pharmacy at the time of prescription dispensing[7] - **Delivery**: ANNOVERA is dispensed by your pharmacy, usually within standard prescription fulfillment timeframes - **No separate application process**: Unlike some patient assistance programs, you do not need to submit separate paperwork or wait for approval.
