Sitagliptin cost with Medicare in 2026

Each Part D plan has its own list of covered drugs and copays, so what you pay for generic sitagliptin depends on your plan (Medicare Plan Finder). In 2026, Part D plans can have a yearly deductible of up to $615, and your out-of-pocket costs for covered drugs are capped at $2,100 a year (Medicare.gov). Medicare's 2026 negotiated price for Januvia is $113 for a 30-day supply (CMS). That is what Medicare pays, not what you pay.

Savings programs from the maker

eDrugSearch does not offer its own Sitagliptin coupons. Merck's $84.57 cash price and its patient assistance program are for brand Januvia (see the brand page). These programs can lower what you pay for a generic:

• Medicare Extra Help: if you have Medicare and limited income, Extra Help lowers what you pay for prescriptions. (Social Security)
• Medicare Prescription Payment Plan: a free Medicare option that spreads your drug costs into monthly payments across the year. It doesn't lower the total, but it can make costs easier to manage. (Medicare.gov)
• Costco Pharmacy member prices: Costco publishes member prices for many prescriptions, for people with a Costco membership. Non-members can also use Costco pharmacies and pay the regular cash price. Member prices can't be used with insurance, Medicare or Medicaid claims. (Costco Pharmacy)
• Amazon Pharmacy Prime and RxPass: Amazon Pharmacy offers Prime members discounts on many prescriptions, and RxPass, for Prime members, covers a set list of generics for a flat monthly fee. Prime is not required to use Amazon Pharmacy. Prime savings have limits for people with Medicare, Medicaid or Tricare, and RxPass is not open to people with Medicaid or CHIP. (Amazon Pharmacy)
• Discount cards: Discount cards (for example GoodRx or SingleCare) may lower the price at local pharmacies; prices vary by pharmacy and ZIP code.

When people choose brand Januvia

Some people get brand Januvia instead of generic sitagliptin. Common reasons:

• A prescription marked “dispense as written” (or “brand medically necessary”) tells the pharmacy to fill the brand, not a generic. State laws set the rules for generic substitution.
• Some insurance and Medicare drug plans cover the brand at a lower copay than the generic, or cover only one of them. Your plan's drug list shows which.

Your prescriber decides which medicine is right for you.
