Medicare Part D spending
CMS's Medicare Part D spending dataset reports gross spending on Gocovri of $99.84 million in 2024, across 30,705 claims and 4,906 beneficiaries. CMS's dataset states spending is gross drug cost and does not reflect manufacturers' rebates or other price concessions. Spending is the total paid by Medicare, plans and beneficiaries for the drug's claims, not what a patient pays.
| Year | Gross spending | Claims | Beneficiaries | Average spending per claim |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2024 | $99.84 million | 30,705 | 4,906 | $3,252 |
| 2023 | $91.88 million | 29,098 | 4,464 | $3,157 |
| 2022 | $82.32 million | 28,142 | 4,252 | $2,925 |
| 2021 | $70.56 million | 25,613 | 4,092 | $2,755 |

Medicaid use by state
CMS's State Drug Utilization Data records, for 2025, how many prescriptions each state's Medicaid program paid for under this drug's packages and what it reimbursed. The 2 states with the largest reimbursement are shown. Reimbursement is before the rebates manufacturers pay states, so it is not a net cost and not a price a patient pays.
| State | Medicaid-paid prescriptions | Medicaid reimbursed | Covers |
|---|---|---|---|
| PA | 70 | $219,020 | All record types |
| VA | 57 | $179,262 | All record types |
A state missing from the table means its figures were suppressed or not reported, not zero use. 7 older-year figures are held and left out of the table.

Medicaid spending
CMS's Medicaid spending dataset reports $4.51 million for Gocovri in 2024. CMS's dataset states spending includes Federal and State reimbursement and dispensing fees and is not reduced by Medicaid rebates paid to the states. Spending is what Medicaid paid, not what a patient pays.
| Year | Spending | Claims |
|---|---|---|
| 2024 | $4.51 million | 1,488 |
| 2023 | $3.81 million | 1,303 |
| 2022 | $3.01 million | 1,040 |
| 2021 | $2.19 million | 877 |

Federal formulary status
TRICARE
The Defense Health Agency's TRICARE formulary files include 4 packages of Gocovri in the uniform formulary class PARKINSONS AGENTS. Each row counts packages by the list that names them and the status it gives. A status is a TRICARE listing, not a statement about what a plan will pay for you.
| List | Status | Packages |
|---|---|---|
| Non-Formulary Drug List | NON-FORMULARY | 4 |
| Tier 4 / Not Covered Drug List | NOT COVERED | 4 |

VA national formulary
The VA's national formulary files list the ingredient amantadine, which covers every maker's product with that ingredient, not only Gocovri. Each row is a VA national drug file entry and its status.
| VA entry | Status | Active NDCs |
|---|---|---|
| AMANTADINE CAP,ORAL | National Formulary | 48 |
| AMANTADINE CAP,SA | Non-formulary | 3 |

Is there help paying for Gocovri?
