If you've ever looked at the cash price of birth control and felt your stomach drop, you're not alone. Brand-name Loestrin Fe 1/20 28 Day carries a retail price of around $200 to $260 per pack. Even generic versions can cost $30 to $50 without any discount.
The good news? With the right tools, most patients can bring their cost down to $15 or less per month — and many can get it for $0. This guide covers every major way to save money on Loestrin Fe 1/20 28 Day in 2026.
Let's break down the numbers:
That's a lot of money for a medication you take every single day. But you have several options to slash that cost.
Prescription discount cards are free to use and can dramatically reduce what you pay at the pharmacy. Here are the best options for Loestrin Fe 1/20 28 Day generics:
SingleCare offers generic Loestrin Fe 1/20 (Norethin Acet & Estrad-Fe) for as low as $13.70 per pack. Simply show the free coupon at your pharmacy — no signup or insurance required. Accepted at Walgreens, CVS, Walmart, Kroger, and most other pharmacies.
GoodRx typically shows prices in the $9-$25 range for generic Loestrin Fe 1/20, depending on the pharmacy and specific generic. You can compare prices across pharmacies in your area and show the coupon on your phone at checkout.
Several other programs offer competitive pricing:
Pro tip: Prices vary between discount programs and between pharmacies. Check 2-3 programs and compare prices at different pharmacies near you to find the best deal.
Under the Affordable Care Act (ACA), most commercial insurance plans are required to cover at least one form of each FDA-approved contraceptive method with no cost-sharing. This means:
If your insurance isn't covering your birth control at $0, it's worth calling your insurer to ask why. You may need to switch to a preferred generic on their formulary, or your doctor may need to submit a coverage exception.
Medicare Part D generally does not cover contraceptives, as it's designed for the 65+ population. However, if you're on Medicare and need oral contraceptives for a non-contraceptive indication (like endometriosis), your provider may be able to request coverage with clinical documentation.
If you're uninsured or underinsured and struggling with the cost, these programs can help:
NeedyMeds maintains a database of patient assistance programs for prescription medications. Search for norethindrone acetate/ethinyl estradiol to find applicable programs. They also offer a free drug discount card.
RxAssist is a comprehensive database of patient assistance programs, including manufacturer programs, state programs, and nonprofit assistance. Search by drug name to find options.
Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) and Planned Parenthood clinics often provide birth control at reduced cost or free based on income through the Title X Family Planning Program. If your income qualifies, you may receive your contraception at no cost regardless of insurance status.
Some states offer their own prescription assistance programs for residents who don't qualify for Medicaid but can't afford medications. Check your state's health department website for available programs.
If you're paying out of pocket, ask your pharmacist which generic version of Loestrin Fe 1/20 is cheapest at their pharmacy. Prices can vary significantly between Junel Fe 1/20, Microgestin Fe 1/20, and Blisovi Fe 1/20, even though they're the same medication. See our full list of options in our alternatives guide.
Mail-order pharmacies often offer lower per-pack prices, especially for 90-day supplies. Some options:
While brand Loestrin Fe 1/20 is discontinued, if your doctor switches you to a related brand product like Lo Loestrin Fe, manufacturer savings cards from AbbVie may reduce your copay significantly. Check loloestrin.com for current offers.
Don't assume every pharmacy charges the same price. Costco (membership not required for pharmacy), Walmart, and independent pharmacies often have the lowest cash prices for generics. Use Medfinder to find pharmacies with stock, then compare prices using GoodRx or SingleCare.
No one should have to skip their birth control because of cost. With generic versions available for as low as $9-$14 per pack using discount cards, and $0 under most insurance plans, there's almost always a way to make Loestrin Fe 1/20 28 Day affordable.
Start by checking your insurance coverage, then compare discount card prices at pharmacies near you. If you're uninsured, look into patient assistance programs or community health centers. And if you're having trouble finding the medication in stock, use Medfinder to search nearby pharmacies.
