Brand nameWith a free discount coupon

Optum Perks, Optum’s free discount coupon, lists these prices for Cervidil without insurance. Show the coupon from its page at the pharmacy; it can’t be used with insurance.

From Optum Perks, read November 2, 2026, with no location set. Its page opens on this dose; other doses and pharmacies near you are priced there too. With insurance, check your co-pay first: it may be lower.

Authorized genericNot sold

There isn’t one. An authorized generic is Cervidil itself, from the same company, sold without the brand name, and usually for less. For now Cervidil is the only choice; ask the pharmacy for its cash price, or your plan what it charges.

Regular genericNot sold

We didn’t find one. Generics usually come once the brand’s patents and exclusivity end. Until then, ask the pharmacy for Cervidil’s cash price, or your plan what it charges.
