The cost of bismuth with insurance depends entirely on your specific plan's formulary, deductible, and copay structure. Some plans may cover it with a low copay, while others may not cover it at all. It's best to contact your insurer or pharmacist for details about your coverage. If your plan does not cover bismuth or your out-of-pocket cost is high, you can ask your pharmacist to apply a pharmacy savings program or discount card, which may provide a lower price. This option is also available for many patients enrolled in Medicare or Medicaid if the medication is not covered by their benefit.

Generic bismuth is the active ingredient found in the well-known over-the-counter brand Pepto-Bismol. The generic version contains the same active ingredient but is typically available at a substantially lower cost than the brand-name product.
