The generic, atorvastatin, is one of the most widely covered, lowest-cost drugs there is, often a low or even $0 preventive tier.
It is also broadly covered on ACA marketplace plans (on 6 of the 6 major carriers we track). Your exact tier, prior-auth, and cost can vary by plan; the lookup shows you where your plan lands.

It depends on your plan's Tier 1 (low cost) cost-share and the time of year. Use the lookup to confirm your plan's tier, then check that tier's copay in your plan documents.
Sometimes a generic or a same-class drug is preferred on your plan at a lower tier. The drug lookup flags covered alternatives when it can.
