About This Medication

# Opill Cost Assistance Program Patient Guide: How to Get Opill at Low or No Cost ## About This Program Perrigo, the manufacturer of Opill (norgestrel), offers a **Cost Assistance Program (CAP)** designed to help individuals and families who face financial or insurance challenges access Opill at reduced or no cost.[3] Opill is the first over-the-counter (OTC) daily birth control pill available in the United States as of March 2024.[3] This program ensures that cost is not a barrier to accessing this important contraceptive option. ## What is Opill? Opill is a **progestin-only daily birth control pill**, also known as a mini pill or non-estrogen pill.[4] Unlike combination birth control pills that contain both estrogen and progestin, Opill contains only progestin (norgestrel), making it a suitable option for people who cannot take estrogen-containing contraceptives. Opill is most effective when taken once daily at the same time each day.[5] ## Who Qualifies for the Cost Assistance Program? The Opill Cost Assistance Program is designed to support **low-income, uninsured, and underinsured individuals and families** who struggle to afford Opill at retail prices.[7] While specific income thresholds have not been publicly detailed in available sources, the program targets people facing genuine financial hardship. You may be eligible if you: - Have limited or no health insurance coverage - Have high out-of-pocket costs for medications - Have difficulty affording the retail price of Opill - Meet the program's financial criteria (to be determined during application) ## Retail Pricing for Reference Understanding standard Opill pricing can help you determine if assistance may benefit you: | Supply Duration | In-Store Price | Online Price | |---|---|---| | 1-month supply | $19.99 | $19.99 | | 3-month supply | $49.99 | $49.99 | | 6-month supply | Not available in-store | $89.99 | These are manufacturer's suggested retail prices (MSRP); individual retailers may adjust pricing.[7] ## Insurance Requirements and Considerations The Opill Cost Assistance Program operates separately from insurance coverage. Important points to understand: - **You cannot use insurance** when purchasing through the manufacturer's assistance program website.[Insurance Requirements] - If you have health insurance, you may be able to obtain Opill through your plan's normal coverage channels instead of using this program - Under the Affordable Care Act, most health plans must cover contraceptives, including progestin-only pills, without requiring out-of-pocket spending[6] - If your insurance plan does not cover Opill or requires a prescription while Opill is available OTC, you may be eligible for this assistance program - Some people may submit receipts for reimbursement through their insurance after purchasing through the assistance program, though this varies by plan ## How to Apply for the Cost Assistance Program ### Step 1: Visit the Program Website Access the Opill Cost Assistance Program through the official program portal at **OpillCAP.com**.[3] This is the primary online application method. ### Step 2: Complete the Application Fill out the online application form with your personal and financial information.
