Apri 28 Day can cost up to $99 without insurance. Learn how to save with discount cards, coupons, and patient assistance programs in 2026.
If you're paying out of pocket for Apri 28 Day, you might be looking at a pharmacy bill of $30 to $99 per pack. That's a lot for a medication you need every single month. The good news? You almost certainly don't have to pay full price.
In this guide, we'll walk you through every way to save on Apri 28 Day in 2026 — from free discount cards to patient assistance programs that can get your birth control for free or nearly free.
Let's start with the numbers. The retail cash price for one 28-day pack of Apri (Desogestrel 0.15 mg / Ethinyl Estradiol 0.03 mg) varies by pharmacy:
Without any discount, you could be paying nearly $1,200 per year for birth control. But there are much better options.
Prescription discount cards are free to use, don't require insurance, and can dramatically reduce your cost. Here are the best options for Apri 28 Day:
SingleCare consistently offers some of the lowest prices for Apri. With a SingleCare coupon, you can pay as little as $10 to $15 per pack at participating pharmacies. The card is free — just search for Apri on singlecare.com, show the coupon to your pharmacist, and save up to 80% off the retail price.
GoodRx is one of the most well-known discount card providers. Prices for Apri 28 Day with a GoodRx coupon start at around $15 to $21 per pack, depending on your pharmacy. GoodRx Gold members may see even lower prices. Visit goodrx.com/apri to find the best price near you.
Several other discount programs offer competitive pricing for Apri:
Pro tip: Prices vary by pharmacy even with the same discount card. Always compare at least 3–4 pharmacies before filling. A Walmart or Costco with a discount card is often the cheapest option.
If you have health insurance, Apri 28 Day is likely covered at $0 copay. Here's why:
The Affordable Care Act (ACA) requires most commercial insurance plans to cover FDA-approved contraceptives — including generic oral contraceptives like Apri — without cost-sharing. This means no copay, no deductible, and no coinsurance for preventive contraceptive services.
A few things to keep in mind:
If you have Medicaid, oral contraceptives are covered in all 50 states, typically at no cost to you.
If you're uninsured or underinsured and struggling to afford your birth control, patient assistance programs can help:
Teva Pharmaceuticals, the maker of Apri, offers the Teva Cares Foundation Patient Assistance Program (PAP). This program provides free medications to eligible patients who:
Apply at tevacares.org or ask your doctor's office to help you submit an application.
NeedyMeds (needymeds.org) maintains a comprehensive database of patient assistance programs, discount cards, and copay assistance for prescription medications, including oral contraceptives. It's a free resource that can help you find additional savings options.
RxAssist (rxassist.org) is another patient advocacy resource that helps connect patients with pharmaceutical company assistance programs and other support for medication costs.
Planned Parenthood clinics offer birth control on a sliding-fee scale based on income. If you can't afford your prescription, a local Planned Parenthood may be able to provide Apri or an equivalent at reduced cost or for free.
Buying a 90-day supply often costs less per pack than buying one month at a time. Ask your doctor to write a 90-day prescription and check if your pharmacy or mail-order service offers a multi-month discount.
If one generic is cheaper than another at your pharmacy, ask your pharmacist about it. Reclipsen, Enskyce, Solia, Emoquette, and Juleber all contain the same active ingredients as Apri. Prices can vary between brands even though the medication is the same. See our guide to Apri alternatives for details.
Mail-order pharmacies — through your insurance plan or through telehealth services like Nurx — often offer lower prices and the convenience of home delivery. Some also provide automatic refills so you never miss a month.
Costco and Walmart consistently offer lower prices on generic medications than chain pharmacies. You don't need a Costco membership to use their pharmacy (in most states). With a discount card, Apri at Costco or Walmart can be as low as $10–$15 per pack.
Use Medfinder to check not just availability but also to find pharmacies near you that stock Apri. Once you know who has it, you can compare discount card prices at each location to get the absolute best deal.
Nobody should skip their birth control because of cost. With discount cards, Apri 28 Day can cost as little as $10 per month — and with insurance or patient assistance, it can be completely free.
