Co-pay Savings Program for Mirena

Savings card from Bayer

No insuranceNeeds insuranceNo cash price listed.
Insurance · as little as $20 per IUD

Sign up on mirena-us.com 

In the maker’s words

“Eligible patients may pay as little as $20 for the cost of the Mirena IUD.”

From the maker’s offer on mirena-us.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.

Authorized genericNot sold

There isn’t one. An authorized generic is Mirena itself, from the same company, sold without the brand name, and usually for less. For now Mirena is the only choice; its maker’s savings card can lower what you pay.

Regular genericNot sold

We didn’t find one. Generics usually come once the brand’s patents and exclusivity end. Until then, the maker’s savings card is the way to pay less.
