Yaz Birth Control Cost

Yaz birth control can cost anywhere from $58 to $64 for one pack (one month's supply) or $165 to $189 for three packs (without insurance coverage). As a contraceptive, Yaz (drospirenone/ethinyl estradiol) is not the cheapest alternative around. Its benefits must be weighed against its potential health risks and price.

Healthcare Insurance Coverage

However, there are many types of health insurance that cover part or all of the cost of Yaz birth control and other contraceptives. For a woman who is considering Yaz as her birth control method, health insurance coverage (if she has it) should be one of the first resources to check out. If she does not have coverage, the high cost of Yaz is a good reason to seek out and obtain healthcare coverage. Her prescribing doctor would be a good person to ask about coverage for Yaz.

Categories of Health Insurance

Healthcare coverage is available in a few main categories:

health insurance supplied by one's employer
insurance you pay for yourself (individual or group)
Medicaid — the U.S. healthcare program for persons who can't afford private insurance
state versions of Medicaid

Other Yaz Price Factors

A number of other factors affect the price of Yaz birth control pills, including:

whether the cost for the initial medical exam will be paid by the patient or by insurance
where the patient lives; the Yaz costs vary by region
whether the patient has a discount coupon or free trial coupon for Yaz
if there are drugstores such as those at Wal-Mart, Costco, CVS and Walgreen’s in the area, for a price comparison
whether a branch of Planned Parenthood is accessible; they may provide a discounted Yaz price

Yaz Cost for How Long?

A fundamental factor of the Yaz birth control cost is how long a period it will be used. For example, if a woman feels that just one or two years of Yaz is all she needs but she must pay for it herself, she can look at her budget and figure out whether the price of Yaz over that term is worth it. For longer periods, say, 8 years, even the best deal on Yaz will cost thousands of dollars:

Example: $50 per month x 12 months a year x 8 years = $4,800

Yaz Cost vs. the Price of Other Contraceptives

Other types of birth control that are more affordable than Yaz include:

a diaphragm or a cervical cap — $100 to $200 for the initial fitting; more for spermicide, but just dollars per month
a transdermal contraceptive patch such as OrthoEvra — $35–$40 per month (without insurance coverage)
other combined-hormone birth control pills — $20–$30 per month (without insurance coverage)
