Nurtec ODT costs $850 to $1,400 for a box of 8 tablets in 2026
Nurtec ODT costs about $1,300 to $1,400 for a box of 8 tablets without insurance in 2026. GoodRx lists the average retail price at about $1,294 and SingleCare at $1,376 to $1,388, which works out to about $165 per 75 mg tablet. A SingleCare coupon brings a box to about $850 to $925. Most insurance plans cover Nurtec, usually with prior authorization, and with commercial insurance the Pfizer copay card takes eligible patients to $0 a month. Used every other day for prevention, that is about 15 boxes a year and over $20,000 at cash price. There is no generic.

What pushes the price up
| What | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| How you use it | One tablet per migraine for treatment uses 1 to 2 boxes a month. Every other day for prevention uses more than a box a month. |
| Insurance | Most plans cover it, often after trying a cheaper triptan first. Copays are $30 to $200 a box without the card. |
| The copay card | $0 a month with commercial insurance, and the first fill can be free while coverage is verified. Not valid for Medicare, Medicaid or TRICARE. |
| Medicare | Covered under many Part D plans. You pay full price until the deductible (up to $615 in 2026), then a copay, up to the $2,100 yearly cap. |
| Discount cards | SingleCare and GoodRx cut $400 to $500 a box off the cash price. |
What the price includes
The price covers 8 orally disintegrating tablets that melt on the tongue. Doctor visits and any imaging are separate. It does not include tax or extras the provider adds on the day.
Does insurance cover it
Many plans cover Nurtec ODT, often after prior approval. Your plan may ask you to try other migraine drugs first. With commercial insurance, the copay card can cut your cost, but it is not for Medicare. On Medicare Part D, SingleCare says you pay full price until the deductible, which is up to $615 in 2026. After your yearly costs reach $2,100, Medicare covers 100% of covered drugs for the rest of the year. Extra Help can cut costs more for people who qualify.
How to judge your quote
- Ask the pharmacy for the cash price of 8 tablets.
- Ask if your plan needs prior approval or a cheaper drug first.
- Ask about the Pfizer copay card before your first fill.
- A fair price is checked against a discount card and the copay card.
- Compare the total with the range above: $850 to $1,400 per box of 8 tablets for most people in 2026.
Ways to pay less
- Get the Nurtec copay card from Pfizer before your first fill if you have commercial insurance. Most people pay $0.
- If your plan denies it, ask your doctor to document the triptans you already tried. That clears most prior authorizations.
- On Medicare, ask about foundation assistance such as the HealthWell Foundation or PAN Foundation for migraine.
- Compare Ubrelvy. Same class, similar price, and your plan may prefer one over the other.
