How do you pay?

How to pay the least

Ask for the cash price

Genotropin

Genotropin is a biologic. Biologics don’t have generics, but some have biosimilars or an unbranded version from the same maker. Ask your pharmacist or prescriber whether one is sold.

  1. Ask your pharmacy for Genotropin’s cash price, and one or two other pharmacies too.
  2. Genotropin’s savings card works only with insurance from a job or one you bought.

In the maker’s words

“Eligible patients with commercial prescription drug insurance coverage for GENOTROPIN may pay as little $0 per prescription fill.”

From the maker’s offer on genotropin.com, checked November 2, 2026. Co-pay cards can’t be used with Medicare (including Medicare Advantage), Medicaid, TRICARE or VA.

Maker’s card or discount card?

A discount card like GoodRx lowers the pharmacy’s cash price, but for a brand-name drug that price often stays high. Compare it with the maker’s card above. You can usually use one or the other on a fill, not both.

Brand nameTrumpRx.gov price

TrumpRx.gov, the federal government’s drug price site, lists Genotropin at a price its maker agreed to, for people paying without insurance.

  • TrumpRx.gov $89.67Prefilled Pen, 0.2 mgGet the free coupon on TrumpRx’s page and show it at the pharmacy.

From TrumpRx.gov, read October 28, 2026. Its page opens on this price; other strengths and amounts 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 Genotropin itself, from the same company, sold without the brand name, and usually for less. For now Genotropin is the only choice; its maker’s savings card can lower what you pay.

Regular genericNot sold

Genotropin is a biologic. Biologics don’t have generics, but some have biosimilars or an unbranded version from the same maker. Ask your pharmacist or prescriber whether one is sold. Generics usually come once the brand’s patents and exclusivity end. Until then, the maker’s savings card is the way to pay less.
