About This Medication

# Femring Savings Program Patient Guide: How to Get Femring at Low or No Cost Femring (estradiol vaginal ring) is a prescription treatment for moderate to severe hot flashes, vaginal dryness, and other menopausal symptoms, but it can cost over $900 without insurance. This guide explains the **Femring Savings Program** from Millicent Pharma, a copay card option for eligible patients to reduce costs, plus steps, alternatives, and resources if you don't qualify.[2][3][5] ## About Femring **Femring** is a flexible vaginal ring containing estradiol acetate, a form of estrogen hormone. It releases a steady dose of **0.05 mg/day** or **0.10 mg/day** estradiol to treat vasomotor symptoms (hot flashes, night sweats) and vulvar/vaginal atrophy (dryness, irritation) due to menopause.[1][3][8] Inserted by you or your doctor, it stays in place for **90 days** (3 months) before replacement—no daily pills or weekly patches needed.[1][3] Femring is brand-name only with no generic equivalent, leading to high retail prices: about **$895-$953 per ring** or up to **$1,100** at pharmacies without discounts.[5] It's prescription-only, so talk to your healthcare provider (HCP) to see if it's right for you. Report side effects to Millicent Pharma at 1-877-810-2101 or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.[1][3] ## Who Qualifies for the Femring Savings Program? The **Femring Savings Program** (via Millicent Pharma and Apollo Care) offers copay savings, potentially as low as **$25 per 90-day prescription** for eligible patients.[2][3][4] It's designed for **commercially insured** patients—private insurance like employer plans or marketplace coverage.[2][4] **Key eligibility:** - Valid prescription for Femring. - Commercial (non-government) insurance covering Femring. - **Not eligible:** Medicare, Medicaid, Tricare, VA, or other government programs.[2][3][4] No specific income limits are listed; it's not a full patient assistance program (PAP) for low-income or uninsured patients. Millicent Pharma lacks a widely publicized formal PAP for Femring as of 2026.[4][5] Uninsured patients should explore discount cards or general resources (see below).[2][5] ## Income Eligibility Breakdown This program has **no income thresholds**—eligibility focuses on insurance type, not finances. Here's a simple table: | Household Size | Income Limit | Notes | |---------------|--------------|-------| | Individual | None | Commercial insurance required[2][4] | | Couple | None | Excludes government insurance[3] | | Family of 3 | None | Check femring.com for updates[2] | | Family of 4+ | None | Savings vary by plan terms[4] | If uninsured or low-income, use pharmacy discount cards (e.g., GoodRx, SingleCare, FamilyWize) for up to 80% off.[5][6] ## Insurance Requirements **Commercial insurance only**—presents your savings card at the pharmacy to lower copay.[2][3] **Excluded:** Medicare Part D, Medicaid, or government plans—program won't apply.[2][4] If insured but copays are high, the card reduces out-of-pocket to ~$25 (terms vary).[3] Your pharmacy or HCP can verify coverage. For government-insured patients, try state programs or general PAP databases.[2][5] ## Step-by-Step Application Process 1. **Get Prescribed:** Ask your HCP for Femring. They may have savings cards or samples to start.[2] 2. **Visit femring.com:** Find the **Femring Savings Program** section or download the copay card.[1][3][8] 3. **Activate via Apollo Care:** Go to accessactivation.apollocare.com (if active) or follow femring.com links to enroll digitally or print card.[2][4] 4. **Fill Prescription:** Take card + prescription to pharmacy.
