Lo Loestrin Fe is a hormonal contraceptive used to prevent pregnancy. It is sold under the brand name Lo Loestrin Fe. A standard supply is 28 1mg/10mcg.
Pharmacy pricing is not regulated in the United States, so retailers set their own cash prices. Large retailers like Walmart and Costco typically offer lower prices on generics because they use prescriptions as a traffic driver. Chain pharmacies like CVS and Walgreens tend to charge significantly more.
Many oral contraceptives are available in generic form at significantly lower prices. The ACA requires most insurance plans to cover FDA-approved contraceptives at no cost.
Lo Loestrin Fe belongs to a class of medications called combined oral contraceptives. It combines a very low dose of estrogen (ethinyl estradiol) with a progestin (norethindrone acetate) and includes iron tablets during the placebo week — a formulation designed to minimize estrogen-related side effects. Because it's a specific low-dose formulation, ask your pharmacist whether a generic equivalent is available and covered by your plan before assuming only the brand is an option.
Shop around. The cheapest pharmacy (Costco at $118.00) charges significantly less than the most expensive option ($144.00). A quick call can save you real money.
Use a discount card. Services like GoodRx, SingleCare, and WellRx can sometimes negotiate prices lower than retail cash. The estimated GoodRx low for Lo Loestrin Fe is around $98.00.
Because Lo Loestrin Fe is a generic medication, manufacturer-sponsored copay savings cards — the kind commonly offered for newer, brand-name drugs — generally aren't available for it. Lo Loestrin Fe's manufacturer typically doesn't offer a savings card once generic competition exists, though it's worth checking their site directly if your prescriber specifically writes for the brand product. For most patients filling the generic, the discount-card and pharmacy membership options described above are the more realistic way to lower cost.
Coverage depends on your specific plan and formulary. Most birth control medications are covered under standard health insurance, typically in Tier 1 or Tier 2. If your copay is higher than the cash price above, it may be cheaper to pay out of pocket — ask your pharmacist to compare. Under the Affordable Care Act, most insurance plans must cover at least one version of FDA-approved oral contraceptives at no out-of-pocket cost; if your plan doesn't cover this specific brand without cost-sharing, ask about a covered equivalent before assuming you have to pay out of pocket.

In the meantime, the cash and discount-card pricing shown above is usually the fastest fallback.
