Frequently asked questions
How much does Benazepril Hcl (Lotensin) cost without insurance?
Our most recent US pharmacy data shows a low of roughly $5.48 for Benazepril Hcl with a standard discount card. That figure moves with dosage and quantity — check the comparison table for the exact combination you need.
Is Benazepril Hcl (Lotensin) available through Cost Plus Drugs?
Yes — Cost Plus Drugs lists Benazepril Hcl at roughly $0.023 per unit, a published price with no membership card or coupon involved. See the three-price comparison above for how that stacks up against discount-card pharmacies.
What do Canadian pharmacies charge for Benazepril Hcl (Lotensin)?
We found Canadian pricing for Benazepril Hcl starting near $0.870 per tablet in USD terms. That's before any shipping charge, which the table above breaks out separately.
Why is Benazepril Hcl (Lotensin) priced differently in the US and Canada?
Drug pricing is set separately in each country through different negotiation, regulatory, and distribution systems, so the same medication can legitimately carry different price tags on either side of the border. In this case, our data shows the US price is actually the lower of the two once a program like Cost Plus Drugs is factored in — the assumption that Canada is always cheaper doesn't hold for every drug.
Is Benazepril covered under Medicare plans, and what is the typical patient cost?
Benazepril is commonly covered under Medicare Part D and Medicare Advantage prescription drug plans. The patient's copayment amount will vary based on the specific plan's coverage phase (e.g., deductible, initial coverage, gap). To potentially lower your out-of-pocket expense, you can present a pharmacy discount card at participating pharmacies, which may offer a fixed price for a refill.
What should patients with Medicaid know about coverage and cost for Benazepril?
Coverage for Benazepril under Medicaid is determined by each state's individual program and its preferred drug list (formulary). You can check your state's Medicaid website or contact your managed care plan for details. It's important to work with your pharmacist to ensure the specific manufacturer's product you receive is covered by your plan. If Benazepril is covered, your out-of-pocket cost is typically minimal or zero.
What are some strategies for reducing the cost of a Benazepril prescription?
Several avenues exist to help manage the cost of Benazepril. Using a free pharmacy savings card is one straightforward option. If you have insurance but find coverage for Benazepril is limited, discussing therapeutic alternatives with your doctor—such as other generic ACE inhibitors that may be preferred by your plan—could lower your cost. Additional resources include: patient assistance programs offered by local government or community organizations; manufacturer assistance, as the manufacturer of the brand-name Lotensin, Validus Pharmaceuticals, may offer patient assistance based on eligibility; Medicare Extra Help or Medicaid, which provide cost support based on income qualifications; and using pre-tax funds from a Flexible Spending Account (FSA) or Health Savings Account (HSA), which may be offered through your employer, to make prescription costs more manageable.
