About This Medication

# Aytu RxConnect Patient Guide: How to Get Cotempla XR-ODT at Low or No Cost Cotempla XR-ODT (methylphenidate) is an extended-release orally disintegrating tablet approved for treating attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in patients 6 years and older. Aytu BioPharma's **RxConnect** program, along with its **coupon savings offer**, helps eligible patients access this medication at significantly reduced costs—often as low as **$15-$50 per prescription**—through participating pharmacies.[1][2][4] ## About Cotempla XR-ODT **Cotempla XR-ODT** is a stimulant medication that works by affecting chemicals in the brain to improve focus, attention, and impulse control in people with ADHD. Unlike traditional pills, it dissolves on the tongue without water, making it convenient for children and adults who struggle with swallowing. It's taken once daily in the morning and comes in strengths like 8.6 mg, 17.3 mg, and 25.9 mg.[4][5] Common side effects include decreased appetite, trouble sleeping, and increased heart rate—always discuss risks with your doctor, especially if you have heart issues, mental health conditions, or a history of substance abuse.[4][6] This guide explains how **Aytu RxConnect** and the **Aytu Coupon Program** make Cotempla XR-ODT affordable. RxConnect is a patient access program available at about 1,000 pharmacies nationwide, designed to reduce out-of-pocket costs and simplify prescribing.[1] The coupon offers instant savings at the pharmacy counter for eligible patients.[2][4] ## Who Qualifies? The program targets **commercially insured patients** (private insurance, not government programs). Key eligibility: - U.S. residents only.[2][3] - **Commercial non-governmental insurance** (excludes Medicaid, Medicare including Part D/Medicare Advantage, VA, Tricare, or state programs).[3][4][6] - Patients whose insurance covers the drug (after deductible met: as low as $50 copay) or doesn't cover it ($15 per prescription).[4][6] - No prior authorization required for the coupon.[4] - Not for patients in Medicare Part D coverage gap.[4][6] **Income eligibility**: No specific income thresholds (e.g., FPL percentages) are listed; it's primarily insurance-based copay assistance for commercially insured patients.[1][2][3] ## Income Eligibility Breakdown Unlike traditional patient assistance programs with strict federal poverty level (FPL) limits, Aytu RxConnect and the coupon focus on insurance status rather than income. Here's a simple table: | Patient Type | Eligibility Notes | Typical Cost Savings | |--------------|-------------------|----------------------| | **Commercially Insured, Deductible Met** | Eligible if plan allows copay cards | As low as **$50** per Rx [4][6] | | **Commercially Insured, Deductible Not Met or Not Covered** | Eligible | As low as **$15** per Rx [4][6] | | **Medicare/Medicaid** | **Not eligible** | N/A [3][4] | | **Uninsured/Cash Pay** | May qualify via coupon at participating pharmacies | **$15** if not covered [4] | | **Government Programs** | **Void** where prohibited | N/A [3] | *Table based on program terms; confirm with pharmacist.[2][3][4]* ## Insurance Requirements - **Must have commercial insurance**; government insurance disqualifies you.[3][4][6] - Cannot be used if your plan reimburses 100% or prohibits copay assistance.[3][4] - **No cash value**, no combining with other offers, and pharmacies cannot seek reimbursement for the discount.[3] - Patient age or other restrictions may apply—check terms.[3] If uninsured or underinsured, ask your doctor about RxConnect options, though primary benefits are for commercial plans.[1][7] ## Step-by-Step Application Process No formal application or mailed enrollment—savings are **instant at the pharmacy** via coupon.
