How to get Qelbree covered by insurance
To find out whether your insurance plan covers Qelbree, you can do any of the following:
- Call your insurance plan and ask about Qelbree coverage and costs.
- Visit your insurance plan’s website and check its formulary or drug coverage information for Qelbree.
- Ask your pharmacy to run your Qelbree prescription through your insurance to determine whether it is covered or requires prior authorization.
If Qelbree requires prior authorization, that does not necessarily mean your plan will not cover it. Prior authorization means your insurance plan must approve coverage before it will pay for the medication. Your healthcare provider may need to submit additional information showing that Qelbree meets the plan’s coverage requirements.
If the prior authorization request is denied, talk to your healthcare provider about your options, which may include appealing the decision or considering an alternative medication. If you still want to use Qelbree, you can also fill your prescription without insurance and pay out of pocket. The savings options below may help reduce the cost.

2. Compare pharmacy prices
Prescription prices can vary by pharmacy, so compare prices before filling your Qelbree prescription.

If possible, compare prices to find an affordable pharmacy where you can fill all of your prescriptions.
3. Ask about a 90-day supply of Qelbree
Ask your insurance or pharmacy if filling a three-month supply of Qelbree instead of a one-month supply could lower your overall cost. Savings vary by pharmacy and quantity, so compare prices before filling a larger prescription.
4. Talk to your healthcare provider about alternative medications
There are many medications used to treat ADHD, including stimulant and nonstimulant medications. These drugs vary in their uses, side effects, and costs. If Qelbree is still unaffordable after exploring savings options, ask your healthcare provider whether a lower-cost alternative may be appropriate for you. Your healthcare provider can consider your symptoms, medical history, and other factors when recommending treatment.
5. Ask for advice
Ask your healthcare provider or pharmacist whether they know of local resources that may help with prescription costs. You can also contact your local health department to ask about programs or community health clinics that may provide medication assistance.
