Finasteride 1mg Not Covered by Part D Plans

HeyMOE Tip

Don’t panic if you see “Not Covered” next to Finasteride 1mg — you’re not missing something. Every 2026 Part D plan excludes Finasteride 1mg, and we’re already one step ahead by identifying other Finasteride options that are covered through our "flagged" manual review process of HeyMOE results.
Switching to a different doseage and quantity of Finasteride could save you hundreds.

What’s Happening

Early HeyMOE results show that no stand-alone Medicare Part D drug plans will cover Finasteride 1mg in 2026.

That means if you take Finasteride 1mg, your Part D plan will not pay anything toward the cost of that medication next year — and since it’s not covered, your spending will not count toward your Part D out-of-pocket limit.

In other words, you’d be responsible for the full retail cost of Metformin Hydrochloride 750mg.

What This Means for You

If you currently take Finasteride 1mg, you’ll have two main options for 2026:

1. Pay Out of Pocket

The cash price of Finasteride 1mg averages $80-$200 per refill.

2. Switch to a different doseage/quantity of Finasteride

Finasteride 500mg (even at 60 tablets per month which is the equivalent of Finasteride 1mg) is included on 2026 Part D formularies.

Talk to your prescribing doctor before December 7 to see whether switching to one of these different dosages makes sense for you.

3. Use a discount program like GoodRx

Prescription discount programs like GoodRx can reduce the price of Finasteride 1mg to $20-$40 per refill.

What HeyMOE Is Doing

HeyMOE automatically checks your medication list to determine whether a drug is covered under any Part D plan and, if not, your account is flagged for manual review.

If Finasteride is anuncovered medication on your list, we get in touch with you with the information in this support article.
