What medication is equivalent to 100 mcg Fentanyl patch?

Insurance will no longer cover the 100 mcg Fentanyl patch I change every 2 days. Also take Norco with this medication. Fentanyl works for me but I can no longer afford. Does not cover Oxycontin either which is what i took previous to Fentanyl an insurance stopped covering. Please help an thank you in advance.

I'm so sorry you're going through this. It's not fair for an insurance company to tell you they will no longer pay for a medication you need.
I would recommend contacting the company that makes Fentanyl. Explain to them what's going on and ask if they can help you pay for your medication. Some companies will do this.
I also recommend that you get a drug discount card. Just research drug discount cards and put in your medication. It will tell you the cheapest place to get it with your card. I would try doing both things because the company that makes your med may not cover the whole cost. With the card you can get up to 80% off. I don't have any kind of insurance so this card saves me a great deal on my meds.
If I can think of anything else that might help I'll let you know.
