L<\/span>ongtime online facilitator eDrugstore.com offers competitive prices on erectile dysfunction medications such as Levitra. And online shopping saves time and hassle.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

It is no secret that the cost of prescription drugs to consumers varies widely across the United States. Different pharmacies set different prices, insurance programs cover some prescription costs and not others, and some drugs are eligible for prescription savings programs, like the inexpensive generics available through Walmart’s $4 Prescription Program.<\/p>\n

Prices for ED Medications<\/h3>\n

Lifestyle drugs like Levitra, Cialis, and Viagra are no exceptions, and sometimes it can be hard to pin down actual prices. For those who are curious about how much Levitra costs, here is a breakdown covering three large pharmacy chains (CVS, Walgreens, and Walmart) and the online facilitator, eDrugstore.com.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\t\n\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t

The table shows the cost of Levitra for 10 tablets of 10 milligrams each and 10 tablets of 20 milligrams each, along with the cost per 10-milligram dose when buying either 10- or 20-milligram tablets. It is important to note that cost per dose is not necessarily the same as cost per pill. In some cases, Levitra can be obtained least expensively by purchasing 20-milligram tablets and breaking them in half to make two doses.<\/p>\n

Prescription Drug Coverage and ED Drugs<\/h3>\n

Some health insurance programs cover prescription drugs for erectile dysfunction, and others don’t. For example, United Healthcare currently places Levitra (along with ED drugs Cialis and Viagra) on their most expensive “Tier 3” prescription drug coverage level. That means insured customers pay the highest co-pay indicated by their plan for these drugs.<\/p>\n

Anthem Blue Cross, which offers plans in 14 states, does not offer coverage or co-pays for prescription ED drugs, and Medicare Part D does not cover them either. If you are considering trying a prescription drug for ED, your best bet is to assume that you do not have coverage for it, because chances are you either have no coverage or minimal coverage. And even if you have coverage this year, there’s no guarantee you’ll have it next year.<\/p>\n

Trends in Insurance Coverage<\/h3>\n
\"\"<\/a>
Insurance coverage for prescriptions drugs varies widely between insurers.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Employers are more closely managing prescription costs through their health insurance offerings, and that means that prescription drug formularies are more complex than ever. Three-tier prescription drug coverage plans are now evolving into four-tier plans. In fact, four-tier plans went from representing 17 percent of prescription drug coverage plans in 2010 to 25 percent of plans in 2011. Nearly half of all large employers (those with more than 20,000 employees) now have four-tier prescription drug plans.<\/p>\n

Employee co-pays increased by 37 percent in 2011 and now average $84 for lifestyle drugs like Levitra. In some cases, you come out better purchasing the drug outside your prescription drug plan. Furthermore, nearly one-third of employers now require specialty medications (like ED drugs) to be dispensed through their Pharmacy Benefits Manager’s specialty pharmacy, so if you have coverage and want to use it, you may not have a choice of where to purchase these medications.<\/p>\n

Buying ED Drugs Is a Bit Different<\/h3>\n

Of course, when it comes to ED drugs, making the purchase isn’t exactly the same as filling a prescription for amoxicillin. Many men understandably want to keep the process as discreet as possible. Getting Levitra for $4.50 a dose at Walmart is definitely wallet-friendly, but where are you more likely to run into a coworker, neighbor, or your kid’s teacher?<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, many men think that they have found the answer when they do a Google search on “Levitra” and find search results indicating it can be had at “incredible prices” and with “no prescription required.” However, Levitra is a prescription drug, so you do need a prescription to obtain it legally.<\/p>\n

Staying Clear of Scam Artists<\/h3>\n

Also, ED drugs are among the most widely counterfeited drugs in history. If you order from one of these sites, assuming you receive anything at all, there’s a high probability that it will be counterfeit, meaning it will be ineffective at best. In a worst case scenario, you could ingest something dangerous.<\/p>\n

When drugs are purchased from outside a secured supply chain, you can end up with some alarmingly dangerous ingredients, like the following ingredients that have been identified by investigators of seized counterfeit drugs:<\/p>\n
