Summarize with AI


Overview

Evista can cost $400+ without insurance. Learn how to save with GoodRx, SingleCare, patient assistance programs, and generic raloxifene options in 2026.

Brand-name Evista (raloxifene) can cost $400–$730 for a 90-day supply without insurance at retail pharmacy prices. Even generic raloxifene lists at $440+ at retail before discounts. The good news is that with the right tools and programs, most patients can pay dramatically less — often under $40 for a 90-day supply. Here's how.

What Does Evista Cost Without Insurance?

Here's what you can expect to pay without any discounts or insurance coverage, based on 2026 retail pricing data:

Brand-name Evista (30 tablets, 60 mg): $201–$244 retail

Brand-name Evista (90 tablets, 60 mg): Up to $732 retail

Generic raloxifene (90 tablets, 60 mg): ~$440–$587 retail (without coupon)

These prices illustrate why using a coupon or discount card is essential if you're paying out of pocket for Evista or its generic.

Option 1: Switch to Generic Raloxifene

The single biggest savings step for most patients is switching from brand-name Evista to generic raloxifene hydrochloride. Both contain the same active ingredient — raloxifene — at the same 60 mg dose. The FDA considers them therapeutically equivalent.

Ask your prescriber or pharmacist if your prescription can be filled with the generic. Most plans and prescribers allow this substitution, and the savings are substantial even before adding any coupons.

Option 5: Eli Lilly's Patient Assistance Program for Brand Evista

If you specifically need brand-name Evista and cannot afford it, Eli Lilly offers the Lilly Cares Foundation patient assistance program for eligible patients. To qualify, you generally need to meet income-based criteria and not be eligible for adequate prescription drug coverage. Your prescriber's office can help with the application.

Option 6: Medicare Part D and Insurance Coverage

Generic raloxifene is typically covered on Medicare Part D and most commercial insurance plans, usually at Tier 1 or Tier 2. Your copay will depend on your specific plan, but most insured patients pay $0–$30 for a 30-day supply of the generic.

Brand-name Evista typically sits at Tier 3 or higher on most formularies, with significantly higher copays. If your plan requires a prior authorization for brand Evista, consider requesting generic substitution instead — it avoids the PA process and costs less.
