The short answer
Simvastatin has no single cash price. Your total depends on the exact product, pharmacy, quantity, insurance, and offer. The CMS numbers below are pharmacy acquisition benchmarks—not patient prices.
Before you compare Simvastatin
These are simvastatin product descriptions from the snapshot. Combination products with ezetimibe are not part of this table.
Simvastatin acquisition-cost reference
One representative NDC per description. Values retain five decimal places so low per-unit costs do not round to zero. EA means “each”; confirm the dispensing unit and package with your pharmacist.

A question to bring to the counter
“Could you check the cash total and my insurance cost for my prescribed Simvastatin, with the same strength, form, and quantity? Are there any extra fees, and is this the final price for this fill?”
Common questions
How much does Simvastatin cost without insurance?
RxCompare does not have a live retail quote for Simvastatin. Request the cash total for your prescribed strength, form, and quantity from a pharmacy. The table on this page is an acquisition-cost reference, not an amount you can expect to pay.
Can I compare different Simvastatin strengths?
Use the exact prescribed product for a fair price comparison. Do not change strength, form, or release type based on a benchmark; ask your clinician or pharmacist about medication changes.
Why is my pharmacy quote different from this table?
The table reports a dated national acquisition benchmark for one representative NDC per description. Your pharmacy may stock another package or manufacturer, and retail pricing includes more than acquisition cost.
