What the price includes
The price covers 120 extended release tablets of 90 mg and 8 mg, which is about a 30 day supply. It does not cover the doctor visit needed to get a prescription. Shipping may cost extra at some pharmacies, but the CurAccess program lists free shipping. Lab work or follow up visits are also extra. It does not include tax or extras the provider adds on the day.
Does insurance cover it
GoodRx says Contrave is covered by most Medicare and insurance plans, but coverage for weight loss drugs varies, so check your plan. If you have commercial insurance, the Contrave Savings Coupon Card may bring your cost down to as little as $0 per 30 day supply. Drugs.com lists a range of $20 to $199 per fill for insured patients with the card. If you have no insurance, the same card can lower a 30 day fill to $199. Insurance rules change, so call your plan before you fill.
How to judge your quote
- Ask for the cash price and the coupon price before you fill the prescription.
- Check that the quote is for 120 tablets, which is one month.
- Compare at least three pharmacies, since prices range from about $199 to over $650.
- Ask if you qualify for the $199 savings card or CurAccess.
- Compare the total with the range above: $199 to $836 per month for most people in 2026.
Ways to pay less
- Compare coupon prices at several pharmacies. GoodRx shows $199.20 at some stores and $211.33 at others for the same month of Contrave.
- Ask about the Contrave Savings Coupon Card. People without insurance may pay as little as $199 for each 30 day fill, per GoodRx and Drugs.com.
- Check if you qualify for CurAccess. It offers a 30 day supply for $99 or less with free shipping, if you meet the rules.
- Use a free discount card such as SingleCare or Drugs.com. Never pay the retail price, which can be above $800 for 120 tablets.
- Ask your doctor if a different weight loss drug fits you. Contrave has no generic, so a cheaper option may be a drug that does.
