Does Insurance Cover Ivermectin?
Commercial ivermectin (Stromectol brand, generic tablets) may be covered by insurance when prescribed for FDA-approved indications (strongyloidiasis, onchocerciasis) with a physician prescription. Coverage depends on your specific plan.
Compounded ivermectin capsules from a compounding pharmacy are not typically covered by insurance, as compounded medications are generally excluded from standard formularies. Most patients pay out of pocket — at $50–85 for a short course, the out-of-pocket cost is manageable for most.
CPPA Pharmacist Consultation Fee
Some pharmacies charge a separate consultation fee for the CPPA process (typically $15–40). Others include the consultation in the medication price. Ask the pharmacy upfront. There are no mandatory state-set fees — pricing is at the pharmacy's discretion.
