How to Save Money on Crexont in 2026

Crexont (carbidopa and levodopa extended-release capsules) is an effective treatment for Parkinson's disease, but it comes with a brand-name price tag. Without insurance, Crexont can cost $540 to $670 per month. Even with insurance, copays can be significant.

This guide covers every way to reduce your Crexont costs in 2026 — from manufacturer savings programs to discount cards and patient assistance.

What Does Crexont Cost?

Here are the typical cash prices for Crexont (120 capsules, approximately one month's supply):

• 35/140 mg: ~$540-$560
• 52.5/210 mg: ~$540-$580
• 70/280 mg: ~$560-$670
• 87.5/350 mg: ~$540-$600

These are retail cash prices without any discounts or insurance. Your actual cost depends on your insurance coverage, pharmacy, and which savings programs you use.

Option 1: Crexont Savings Program (Manufacturer Copay Card)

The best savings option for most commercially insured patients is the Crexont Savings Program from Amneal Pharmaceuticals.

How it works:

• Eligible commercially insured patients may pay as little as $25 copay per 30-day supply
• Amneal contributes a maximum of $150 per fill toward your out-of-pocket cost
• The discount is applied automatically at the pharmacy — no card to present in most cases
• Available at participating pharmacies nationwide

Who qualifies:

• Patients with commercial (private) insurance
• NOT available for patients on government insurance (Medicare, Medicaid, Tricare, VA, or other federal/state programs)

How to enroll: Visit crexont.com/support-resources or ask your pharmacist about the Crexont Savings Program.

Option 2: Prescription Discount Cards

If you don't have insurance or your insurance doesn't cover Crexont, prescription discount cards can help reduce the cash price:

• SingleCare — Prices starting around $537 for 120 capsules (70/280 mg). Visit singlecare.com
• GoodRx — Compare prices across pharmacies near you at goodrx.com/crexont
• RxSaver — Check for additional discounts at rxsaver.com
• Optum Perks — Another option for comparing pharmacy prices

These cards are free to use and can save you up to 20% off the retail cash price. Simply show the card or coupon at your pharmacy when filling your prescription.

Important: Discount cards generally cannot be combined with insurance or the Crexont Savings Program. Use whichever option gives you the lowest price.

Option 3: Patient Assistance Programs

If you are uninsured or underinsured and cannot afford Crexont, you may qualify for patient assistance:

• Amneal Patient Support — Contact Amneal Pharmaceuticals at crexont.com/support-resources to ask about assistance programs for eligible patients
• NeedyMeds — Search for Crexont assistance at needymeds.org
• RxAssist — A database of patient assistance programs at rxassist.org
• RxHope — Another resource for finding medication assistance at rxhope.com

Patient assistance programs typically require proof of income and lack of adequate insurance coverage. Your doctor's office can often help with the application process.

Option 4: Insurance Optimization

If you have insurance but Crexont isn't covered or has a high copay, try these strategies:

• Request a formulary exception — Your doctor can write a letter explaining why Crexont is medically necessary for you
• Appeal a denial — If your insurance denies coverage, you have the right to appeal. Ask your doctor's office for help.
• Check your plan's specialty pharmacy — Some plans offer better pricing through their preferred specialty pharmacy
• Consider mail-order — Mail-order pharmacies often have lower copays for maintenance medications
• Review during open enrollment — When choosing next year's insurance plan, check if Crexont is on the formulary

Option 5: Consider Lower-Cost Alternatives (Temporarily)

If cost is a major barrier, talk to your doctor about whether a less expensive alternative might work for you while you sort out coverage:

• Generic immediate-release carbidopa/levodopa — As low as $10-$30/month
• Generic carbidopa/levodopa CR (controlled-release) — Affordable extended-release option
• Generic carbidopa/levodopa/entacapone — Combination tablet that extends levodopa's effect

These alternatives work differently than Crexont and may not provide the same duration of symptom control. See our full comparison: Alternatives to Crexont.

Never switch or stop medications without your doctor's guidance.

Option 6: Medicare and Government Insurance Patients

If you have Medicare, Medicaid, or other government insurance, the Crexont Savings Program copay card is not available to you. However, you can:

• Check your Part D formulary — Some Medicare Part D plans may cover Crexont, especially with prior authorization
• Apply for Extra Help (Low Income Subsidy) — If you have limited income, Medicare's Extra Help program can reduce your drug costs
• Contact your State Pharmaceutical Assistance Program (SPAP) — Many states offer additional prescription drug assistance
• Apply for patient assistance — Manufacturer PAP programs may be available for Medicare patients who meet income requirements

Tips to Maximize Your Savings

1. Always compare prices — Check GoodRx, SingleCare, and your insurance copay. Use whichever is lowest.
2. Ask about the Crexont Savings Program first — If you have commercial insurance, this is usually the best deal ($25 copay).
3. Don't assume your pharmacy has the best price — Prices can vary by $100+ between pharmacies. Use MedFinder.com to compare.
4. Fill 90-day supplies when possible — Mail-order and 90-day fills often have lower per-unit costs.
5. Keep your doctor informed about costs — Your doctor may have samples, know about assistance programs, or be able to adjust your regimen to reduce costs.
