And over an entire year, it can add up to over $3,000.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That price, however, is just an average, and it can vary based on several factors.

The average retail price for a 30-day supply is around $226, which is typically lower than the brand-name average.

Patients can contact their insurer to confirm whether Qsymia is covered, what criteria apply, and what documentation is needed. If prior authorization is required, I can start the process right away.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"what-to-do-if-insurance-won-t-cover-qsymia\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What to do if insurance won\u2019t cover Qsymia<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your Aetna plan denies coverage for Qsymia, you still have options. Try the following if you haven\u2019t already:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ask your provider to submit a prior authorization. Most Aetna denials for Qsymia come from missing medical documentation, which may include your BMI trends, weight-related health conditions, and previous treatments you\u2019ve tried for weight loss.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">File an appeal. If prior authorization is denied, you can still appeal the decision. The denial letter usually includes instructions for appealing, which may include having your healthcare provider submit a letter of medical necessity.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Switch to a covered alternative. Your provider may recommend a different weight-loss medication that your plan covers, such as Contrave (naltrexone\/bupropion), Xenical (orlistat), or a GLP-1.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You may want to try other savings options if coverage is still denied. These options may include savings cards or assistance programs.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"how-to-save-on-qsymia\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How to save on Qsymia<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Aetna\u2019s health insurance plans can provide significant savings on Qsymia, but there are other ways to reduce your out-of-pocket costs. Here are a few:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"free-qsymia-coupons\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Free Qsymia coupons<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A potential way to save on Qsymia without relying on insurance is to use a free SingleCare card. By <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/signup\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">signing up<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and presenting your SingleCare discount card at a participating pharmacy, you may pay as little as $63 for a month\u2019s supply of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/prescription\/phentermine-topiramate-er\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">generic Qsymia<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, depending on your location and choice of pharmacy. You can\u2019t use SingleCare discounts on top of your insurance coverage, but you could pay less than what you would with insurance.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"qsymia-savings-card\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Qsymia savings card<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Qsymia\u2019s manufacturer offers a savings card, but it has limitations. For example, you can\u2019t receive benefits from any government-sponsored programs like Medicare, Medicaid, TRICARE, or the VA. You can only use Qsymia-certified pharmacies, and you can\u2019t seek reimbursement through flexible spending accounts (FSAs), health savings accounts (HSAs), or health reimbursement accounts (HRAs).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Qsymia savings card covers up to $65 for commercially insured patients and up to $75 for uninsured patients, but patients must pay the first $70 of the copay. With an average retail price of $282, you could save more by using a SingleCare card to pay for Qsymia.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"consider-generic-and-alternative-medications\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Consider generic and alternative medications<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Qsymia hasn\u2019t cornered the market on weight loss, and some other drugs might be less expensive, or covered better by your insurance plan. Generic phentermine-topiramate was approved by the FDA in June 2024 and launched in the U.S. by <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tevausa.com\/our-products\/tevagenerics\/teva-generics-catalog\/vision-product-page\/phentermineandtopiramateextendedreleasecapsulesciv\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Teva Pharmaceuticals<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in May 2025. Dr. Warren advises patients to \u201copt for generic phentermine\/topiramate when appropriate.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Additionally, \u201cSince generics are significantly less expensive, providers may prescribe separate generic phentermine plus topiramate ER, or the combined generic product, depending on cost and formulary status,\u201d Dr. Warren says. In fact, with SingleCare coupons, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/prescription\/phentermine-hcl\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">phentermine<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> can cost as little as $10.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>RELATED: <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/blog\/qsymia-vs-phentermine\/\"><b>Qsymia vs. phentermine<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other common alternatives include <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/prescription\/contrave\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Contrave<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (naltrexone\/bupropion), <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/prescription\/xenical\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Xenical<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (orlistat), and, for people with Type 2 diabetes, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/prescription\/metformin-hcl\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">metformin<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/prescription\/ozempic\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ozempic<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which may be more likely to be covered by insurance.
