Lovenox can cost $400+ without insurance. Learn how to save with generic Enoxaparin, discount cards, patient assistance programs, and more.
If you've looked at the price tag on Lovenox (Enoxaparin) and felt your stomach drop, you're not alone. Brand-name Lovenox can cost $400 to $600 or more for a month's supply without insurance. Even generic Enoxaparin, while much cheaper, can still run $30 to $150 depending on your dose and pharmacy.
When you're dealing with a medication you can't skip — because blood clots don't wait — the cost pressure is real. This guide walks you through every major way to bring down the price of your Enoxaparin prescription in 2026.
Let's start with the numbers. Prices vary based on dose, quantity, and pharmacy, but here's a general range:
The exact price depends heavily on:
This is the single biggest way to save. Generic Enoxaparin is FDA-approved as therapeutically equivalent to brand-name Lovenox and costs a fraction of the price. Most pharmacies will automatically dispense the generic unless the prescriber specifically writes "brand name medically necessary."
If you're not sure which version you're getting, check the label on your syringes. If it says "Enoxaparin Sodium" from a manufacturer like Sandoz, Fresenius Kabi, or Amphastar — that's the generic. It works the same way.
Even if you have insurance, a discount card can sometimes beat your copay — especially at certain pharmacies. Here are the major options:
GoodRx (goodrx.com) shows prices at pharmacies near you and provides free coupons. Generic Enoxaparin prices through GoodRx can be as low as $25–$80 depending on dose and pharmacy. Always compare the GoodRx price to your insurance copay — use whichever is lower.
SingleCare (singlecare.com) offers similar discount card savings. Prices are competitive with GoodRx and sometimes lower at certain pharmacies. Free to use.
RxSaver (rxsaver.com) compares prices across pharmacies and provides printable coupons. Another good option to check, especially for specialty pharmacies.
Additional options include Optum Perks, BuzzRx, ScriptSave WellRx, and America's Pharmacy. Prices vary by pharmacy, so it's worth checking 2-3 cards to find the best deal for your specific dose and location.
Pro tip: Discount cards cannot be combined with insurance. You use one or the other at the pharmacy counter. If your insurance copay is $50 and GoodRx shows a price of $35, use the GoodRx card instead.
If you're uninsured or underinsured and struggling to afford Enoxaparin, patient assistance programs (PAPs) may be able to help you get the medication for free or at a steep discount.
Sanofi, the maker of brand-name Lovenox, offers the Sanofi Patient Connection program for eligible patients. This program provides free medications to patients who meet income and insurance criteria. Visit sanofipatientconnection.com or call their toll-free number for details.
NeedyMeds (needymeds.org) is a nonprofit database that lists patient assistance programs, discount drug cards, and other resources. Search for Enoxaparin to find all available programs.
RxAssist (rxassist.org) is another comprehensive database of patient assistance programs. It includes both manufacturer programs and independent charitable assistance.
RxHope (rxhope.com) helps connect patients with pharmaceutical company assistance programs. It can streamline the application process.
The Enoxaparin 300 mg/3 mL multi-dose vial is often cheaper per milligram than individual prefilled syringes. If you're comfortable drawing up your own doses (or can be trained), ask your doctor about switching to the vial. You'll need separate syringes and needles, but the cost savings can be significant — sometimes 50% or more compared to prefilled syringes.
Prices for the same medication can vary dramatically between pharmacies. A Costco pharmacy, for example, often has lower cash prices than CVS or Walgreens. Use Medfinder to find pharmacies that have Enoxaparin in stock, then compare prices using a discount card app.
Most insurance plans — including Medicare Part D and Medicaid — cover generic Enoxaparin. Your copay will depend on your plan's formulary tier, but it's typically $10–$50 per fill for the generic. If you're on Medicare Part B, Enoxaparin may be covered when administered incident to a physician's service.
If your insurance requires prior authorization for Enoxaparin, ask your doctor's office to submit the paperwork promptly. Delays in PA can leave you without medication.
Many insurance plans offer lower copays for 90-day supplies through mail-order pharmacies. If you'll be on Enoxaparin for an extended period (e.g., pregnancy or cancer-related VTE prevention), a mail-order option could save you money over filling 30-day supplies at retail.
Since generic Enoxaparin is widely available, Sanofi does not heavily market a copay savings card for brand-name Lovenox. However, it's worth checking sanofi.com periodically for any available offers. For most patients, the generic with a discount card will be the most affordable option.
Here's a rough comparison for a 30-day supply of generic Enoxaparin 40 mg syringes:
Lovenox doesn't have to break the bank. The combination of generic Enoxaparin + a discount card brings the price within reach for most patients. If that's still too much, patient assistance programs exist specifically to help.
