The reason I was asking, there is a post on Facebook that people are sharing regarding generic epipens. I did point out the info is American (being shared by Canadians). But I also thought the price was inaccurate. It says it costs under $10.
Generic EpiPen made by Mylan (AB rated to the EpiPen brand) is $300 list. Copay assistance is
here, currently only $25 and only valid for patients with commercial insurance.
At one point Impax Pharmaceuticals was discounting their generic epinephrine auto-injector during the whole EpiPen debacle being big in the news to $109.99 list - $100.00 coupon (max value) = $9.99 cash price for people without commercial insurance (
TIME article), but now the coupon (
here) is only $50, so that's $60 cash price. You also have to get the prescription written for Adrenaclick instead of the EpiPen in most states, as Adrenaclick and EpiPen brand are not AB rated and pharmacists in most states cannot substitute one for the other.
At this point it seems like generic Epi is probably the cheapest for Medicaid/Medicare/Tricare (although somebody on those programs would have to tell me if I'm wrong and the price is more than $60) and Auvi-Q is probably the cheapest if you either have commercial insurance (Kaleo gets it to zero out of pocket regardless of whether or not your insurer covers it) or if you don't have commercial insurance and make less than $100,000 a year (patient assistance program gets it to $0).
