VIVITROL is covered for 99%
Filling a VIVITROL prescription
Pharmacy options, approval requirements, and the cost for VIVITROL prescriptions vary by health plan. Health plans can cover VIVITROL as either a medical or pharmacy benefit.
How healthcare providers obtain VIVITROL usually depends on how it is covered by the patient’s health plan. Get information on insurer requirements and forms plus pharmacy options for fulfillment of VIVITROL from the Insurance and Pharmacy Navigator.
-
Retail pharmacy: Some health plans allow any network pharmacy to fill VIVITROL.
-
Specialty pharmacy: These pharmacies will obtain and ship a patient-specific prescription to your office. If a patient’s insurance covers VIVITROL under the medical benefit portion of the health plan, the plan may allow a network pharmacy to ship VIVITROL directly to the provider’s office and bill the patient’s health plan directly on behalf of the provider. The Vivitrol2gether® team can work with offices to send prescriptions to pharmacies based on their patients' healthcare plan requirements. Link to Vivitrol2gether enrollment form on previous page.
-
Buy and bill: Another option if VIVITROL is covered through the medical benefit is for the healthcare provider to buy units of VIVITROL from a specialty distributor and bill the patient’s insurance directly when it is administered.

Obtaining VIVITROL through a specialty pharmacy
- How you obtain VIVITROL depends on how it is covered by the patient’s health plan. Often, health insurers require injectable medications to be filled through designated specialty pharmacies
- Specialty pharmacies obtain and ship a patient-specific prescription to the healthcare provider’s office. Specialty pharmacies bill the patient’s insurance directly and collect any co-pay from the patient
