Perforomist (formoterol fumarate inhalation solution) is an essential medication for many COPD patients — but at a retail price of $865 to $1,484 per 30-day supply, it's one of the more expensive maintenance medications in the nebulizer category. The good news: there are multiple legitimate ways to dramatically reduce what you pay out of pocket. Here's everything you need to know about saving money on Perforomist in 2026.

Option 1: Use the Generic — Formoterol Fumarate Inhalation Solution

The single most impactful step most patients can take is to ask for the generic formoterol fumarate inhalation solution 20 mcg/2 mL instead of brand-name Perforomist. Generic versions are bioequivalent to the brand and are available from multiple manufacturers. Ask your prescriber to write for the generic, or ask your pharmacist if automatic substitution is allowed in your state.

Option 2: GoodRx and Other Prescription Discount Coupons

GoodRx offers coupons that can reduce the cost of formoterol fumarate significantly. According to GoodRx data, patients can pay as little as $92–$99 for 60 vials (a 30-day supply) with a GoodRx coupon — an 89–91% savings off the average retail price of $865–$1,063. SingleCare is another option that has shown prices starting around $37–$100 depending on pharmacy and quantity.

How to use a GoodRx coupon:

  1. Visit GoodRx.com or use the GoodRx app
  2. Search for "formoterol fumarate" or "Perforomist"
  3. Compare prices at pharmacies near you
  4. Print or show the coupon to your pharmacist at pickup

Note: You generally cannot use GoodRx and insurance at the same time. Compare what's cheaper for you.

Option 3: Viatris Patient Assistance and Copay Programs

Viatris (the manufacturer of Perforomist) offers patient assistance through their program line (888-417-5780). Eligibility requirements vary, but programs may include copay cards for commercially insured patients or direct assistance for uninsured or underinsured patients. Call directly or visit the Viatris website to check current program availability and eligibility criteria.

Option 4: PAN Foundation and Non-Profit Patient Assistance

The PAN Foundation (Patient Access Network Foundation) may provide assistance for COPD medications including Perforomist for eligible patients. The PAN Foundation helps with copayments, insurance premiums, and deductibles. Contact them at 866-316-7263 or visit their website to check if Perforomist is covered and whether you qualify.

Option 5: Medicare and Medicaid Coverage

Perforomist is covered under Medicare Part D by most plans, although tier placement varies. As a brand medication, it may be Tier 3–4 on many plans, resulting in significant copays. Key strategies for Medicare patients:

  • Ask your prescriber for a formulary exception if Perforomist is the only appropriate medication for you
  • Generic formoterol may be placed on a lower tier (Tier 1–2) — always ask your plan
  • In 2026, the Part D annual out-of-pocket cap is $2,100 — so even high-cost medications have a yearly ceiling

Option 6: Mail-Order Pharmacy for Better Pricing

Many insurance plans offer mail-order pharmacy benefits that provide 90-day supplies at a reduced per-day cost. If you take Perforomist every day (as prescribed), ordering 90 days at once through your plan's mail-order pharmacy may reduce your total annual cost significantly. Check with your insurance plan or HR benefits team.
