A provider's guide to helping patients reduce Endometrin costs. Covers manufacturer programs, generics, coupons, and cost conversation strategies.
Fertility treatment is expensive, and your patients know it. Between clinic visits, monitoring, egg retrieval, and medications, the financial burden is significant. Endometrin (Progesterone vaginal insert) is just one piece of the puzzle, but at $327–$393 per box of 21 inserts without insurance, the cost adds up quickly — especially for patients on two-to-three-times-daily dosing for up to 10 weeks.
When patients can't afford their medications, they may skip doses, delay treatment, or drop out altogether. As a provider, you're in a unique position to proactively address cost barriers and connect patients with savings options before adherence becomes a problem.
This guide covers the specific savings programs, generic options, and practical strategies available for Endometrin in 2026.
Understanding the cost landscape helps you have informed conversations with patients:
These numbers are worth sharing with patients early. Many don't realize how much their medication will cost until they're standing at the pharmacy counter.
Ferring Pharmaceuticals offers several programs that can meaningfully reduce patient costs:
For patients paying cash or facing high copays, prescription discount programs can provide significant savings — particularly on the generic Progesterone vaginal insert:
GoodRx consistently offers some of the lowest prices for generic Endometrin. Patients can access prices as low as $91 for 21 inserts at participating pharmacies. The coupon is free to use — patients simply show the coupon at the pharmacy counter or use the GoodRx app.
Additional coupon and discount platforms that may offer savings on Progesterone vaginal inserts include:
Encourage patients to compare prices across platforms, as pricing varies by pharmacy location and day.
For patients with demonstrated financial hardship, additional resources include:
Your care coordinators or financial counselors can help patients navigate these applications. The paperwork can be daunting for patients already dealing with the emotional and logistical burden of fertility treatment.
The most impactful cost-saving measure for most patients is switching to — or starting on — the generic Progesterone vaginal insert.
For new prescriptions, consider prescribing generically ("Progesterone vaginal insert 100 mg") to allow pharmacies to dispense the most cost-effective option. For patients already on brand-name Endometrin, the switch to generic is straightforward — same drug, same dose, same route.
If availability or cost remains an issue, therapeutic alternatives for luteal phase support include:

The most effective way to address medication costs is to bring them up proactively — before patients encounter sticker shock at the pharmacy. Here are some practical approaches:
When outlining the IVF protocol, include an estimate of medication costs alongside the clinical plan. Patients who know what to expect financially are better prepared and less likely to abandon treatment.
Writing "Progesterone vaginal insert 100 mg" rather than "Endometrin" gives pharmacies flexibility to dispense the generic, which can save patients hundreds of dollars per treatment cycle.
Your nurses, care coordinators, and front-desk staff are often the first point of contact when patients express cost concerns. Make sure they know about the Ferring savings programs, GoodRx, and patient assistance options. A simple one-page reference sheet can make a big difference.
Many fertility clinics work with specialty pharmacies that stock fertility medications and can help patients navigate insurance and savings programs. If your clinic doesn't have a pharmacy partner, consider establishing a relationship with one that specializes in reproductive medicine.
Medfinder for Providers can help your team quickly check which pharmacies have Endometrin or its generic equivalent in stock. This saves time for your staff and ensures patients can fill their prescriptions without delays that could impact their treatment cycle.
If a patient is on brand-name Endometrin and reports difficulty affording refills, that's an opportunity to discuss the generic, apply for savings programs, or adjust the treatment approach. Cost-related non-adherence is common in fertility treatment — don't assume patients will bring it up on their own.
Endometrin costs can be a real barrier to treatment adherence, but there are more options available in 2026 than ever before. The launch of the Xiromed generic alone has cut the cost of vaginal Progesterone supplementation by more than 70% for cash-paying patients.
By proactively discussing costs, prescribing generically, and connecting patients with manufacturer programs and discount cards, you can help ensure that medication cost doesn't derail a patient's fertility journey.
