Medicare Part D does not cover NP Thyroid or Armour Thyroid

Unfortunately, neither NP Thyroid nor Armour Thyroid is currently covered by any Medicare Part D plan.

For people who need these medications, the best bet may be to use GoodRx to reduce the out-of-pocket cost for these prescriptions.

Here’s how to find a coupon for NP or Armour Thyroid using GoodRx:

Go to www.goodrx.com
Enter your ZIP code, the drug name, and the dosage
Click “Find lowest price”
Choose the best option and either:
– Print the coupon
– Send it to your phone via email or text
– Use the GoodRx mobile app (www.goodrx.com/mobile)
Present the coupon to the pharmacist when you fill the prescription

A few things to keep in mind:

You can’t use GoodRx in combination with insurance. It’s one or the other.
GoodRx is free (unless you opt into their paid Gold plan, which usually isn’t necessary).
Most big-name pharmacies accept GoodRx. Independent pharmacies often don’t, because the discounts cut too deeply into their margins.
Costs spent on medication using GoodRx do NOT count towards your Part D deductible or out-of-pocket spending limits.
