Enbrel is a brand of etanercept. What agents check before quoting it: how many 2027 Part D plans cover it, on which tier, with what restrictions and copays, by plan type, carrier and state.

What a 30-day fill costs

53 covering plans charge a flat copay for a 30-day supply at a preferred retail pharmacy after the deductible — median $0, 53 of them $0; 5,439 charge coinsurance instead — median 26% of the drug's cost. Once a member's out-of-pocket drug spending reaches $2,400 in 2027, covered drugs cost $0 for the rest of the year.

Enbrel has a Medicare negotiated price (maximum fair price) of $2,355 for a 30-day supply, which applies. The negotiated price lowers what the plan pays; the member's copay or coinsurance still follows the plan's tier.

Counts are over every Medicare Advantage drug plan and stand-alone Part D plan in the CMS monthly formulary files, excluding employer plans. A plan counts as covering a drug when any strength or form of it is on the plan’s formulary; the tier, prior authorization, step therapy and quantity limit shown are the most favorable version on that formulary. Copays are for a 30-day supply at a preferred retail pharmacy after the deductible. This is a reference for licensed agents, not a plan recommendation; verify with the plan’s formulary before advising a client. Source: CMS Part D formulary files (release 10/08/2026).
