Medicare Part D changed in 2025, potentially affecting costs for patients 

If you take oral cancer medications, you may face high out-of-pocket (OOP) costs. These treatments often come with significant co-pays or coinsurance—especially if your insurance plan uses a tiered prescription system.

While Medicare Part D now caps annual OOP costs at $2,000, you might still see higher monthly premiums or changes in your plan’s coverage—like fewer plan options or certain medications being excluded from formularies. These shifts can increase what you pay for treatment.2,9

Talk to your doctor about an ADT option that offers long-standing efficacy and stable pricing—ELIGARD is the market-leading therapy with over 20 years of proven results and has not increased its price in the last decade.

How rising cancer costs & inflation are affecting your care

You shouldn’t have to compromise your financial well-being for quality healthcare  

Cancer is one of the most expensive medical conditions to treat in the United States and continues to be a growing financial burden. It can be difficult to manage the cost of cancer care while also covering essentials like housing, utilities, transportation, and food.3
