How to Help Your Patients Save Money on Blis-To-Sol Powder: A Provider's Guide to Savings Programs

Blis-To-Sol Powder is an affordable OTC antifungal — typically $8 to $15 per bottle — but for patients with limited incomes, even modest costs can create barriers to adherence. This guide helps you guide your patients to the most cost-effective access options for Blis-To-Sol Powder and comparable antifungal treatments.

Understanding the Cost Structure of Blis-To-Sol Powder

Blis-To-Sol Powder is available OTC at approximately $8-$15 per 2 oz bottle at retail price:

Oakhurst Co. direct: $10.00 per bottle at oakhurstco.com; multipack discounts available

Amazon: $8-$15 depending on seller; Subscribe & Save can reduce recurring costs 5-15%

Independent pharmacies: Variable pricing; may be comparable to or slightly above online

There is no manufacturer patient assistance program for Blis-To-Sol Powder. Given its low OTC price, formal assistance programs are not typically needed, but there are still several strategies to reduce cost for patients.

Strategy 1: Advise FSA and HSA Utilization

Blis-To-Sol Powder is an FSA (Flexible Spending Account) and HSA (Health Savings Account) eligible product under IRS guidelines for OTC health products. Patients with access to these accounts can purchase the product using pre-tax dollars, which creates an effective 20-37% savings depending on their tax bracket.

Clinical consideration: You don't need to write a prescription for OTC FSA/HSA purchases in most cases, but a written recommendation or Letter of Medical Necessity (LMN) may be requested by some FSA administrators. Providing a simple clinical note stating the medical indication for the product can help patients if their FSA card is declined.

Strategy 2: Prescribe OTC for Insurance Coverage

Standard health insurance plans do not cover OTC medications unless they are prescribed. In some cases, writing a prescription for "undecylenic acid topical powder" or specifically for Blis-To-Sol Powder can trigger insurance coverage, particularly for:

Medicaid patients: Many state Medicaid programs cover OTC antifungals when prescribed. This can provide zero-cost access for eligible patients.

Select commercial plans: Some commercial plans include OTC coverage benefits for prescribed OTC medications. Check the patient's specific formulary.

Medicare Part D supplemental benefits: Some Medicare Advantage plans include OTC benefit allowances that patients can use for health products including antifungals.

Strategy 3: Recommend Cost-Effective Alternatives When Appropriate

If cost or availability of Blis-To-Sol Powder remains a barrier, these clinically equivalent alternatives are widely available and often less expensive or easier to find at discount retailers:

Generic terbinafine 1% cream (OTC): Available at $5-$10 at major discount retailers (Walmart, Target). Highly effective (70% cure rate), widely stocked, and often the lowest-cost option.

Generic tolnaftate 1% powder: Available at $5-$10; closest powder-form substitute for Blis-To-Sol Powder.

Generic clotrimazole 1% cream: Often $3-$8 at dollar stores and discount retailers. Clinically appropriate for tinea pedis, cruris, and corporis.

For patients requiring prescription therapy (refractory infections, onychomycosis, immunocompromised), consider the following cost reduction options:

Oral terbinafine generic: Generic oral terbinafine is available at $10-$30 for a full course (6-12 weeks for nail fungus) with GoodRx or SingleCare coupons at major pharmacy chains.

GoodRx and SingleCare: Free discount cards that apply to prescription antifungals. Recommend patients check both for the best price at their pharmacy.

Strategy 4: Long-Term Supply and Preventive Use Economics

For patients prone to recurrent athlete's foot (athletes, people who use communal showers, immunocompromised patients), advise preventive daily use of antifungal powder after bathing. This practice can prevent costly repeat infections and medical visits. Buying in bulk (multipack from oakhurstco.com) or using Subscribe & Save on Amazon reduces the per-unit cost for long-term preventive users.

How medfinder Supports Medication Access for Your Patients

Access barriers — including difficulty finding a medication — are a leading cause of non-adherence. medfinder helps solve the access problem by calling pharmacies near your patient's location to check which ones have the medication in stock and texting the results to the patient. This is particularly valuable for limited-distribution OTC products like Blis-To-Sol Powder, where the gap between recommendation and procurement can be frustrating without targeted help.
