Quviviq<\/span><\/a> (daridorexant) is a brand-name prescription medicine that treats insomnia in adults. It\u2019s a unique drug, called a dual orexin receptor antagonist (DORA), that induces sleep by turning off the wake signals in the brain. There is no generic version, so it has a premium price. Fortunately, there are ways to save on Quviviq, reducing the out-of-pocket cost of a <\/span>good night\u2019s sleep<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

How much does Quviviq cost?<\/span><\/h2>\n

The average retail price of Quviviq, <\/span>without insurance<\/span><\/a> or any discounts, is $684<\/span> for 30, 50-milligram (mg) tablets, a typical one-month supply. The Quviviq cost, though, depends on several factors, including the pharmacy used, prescribed dosage, and insurance coverage.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Not all health plans cover Quviviq. Those that do may require <\/span>prior authorization<\/span><\/a>, which means the insurance provider must pre-approve the healthcare provider\u2019s request for this drug before covering it, and even so, the out-of-pocket cost may be prohibitive.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Medicare drug plans generally don\u2019t cover Quviviq, but certain plans may offer coverage. Medicaid coverage varies by state, but many states either do not cover Quviviq or classify it as nonpreferred.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ultimately, it\u2019s a good idea to check your insurance plan\u2019s <\/span>drug formulary<\/span><\/a> (list of covered drugs) to prevent unexpected billing for Quviviq.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThere are many other medications to treat insomnia which are cheaper and generic, but none of the orexin family,\u201d Dr. Khurana says. For example, <\/span>trazodone<\/span><\/a>, a generic antidepressant, is frequently <\/span>prescribed off-label to treat insomnia<\/span><\/a>, according to Dr. Melamed. Trazodone costs about $34<\/span> for 30, 50 mg tablets, but you could pay $6 with a SingleCare coupon.<\/span><\/p>\n
