What the price includes
The price is for the pills only. It does not cover the doctor visit, lab work, or a refill fee at some stores. Most prices here are for 30 tablets of 75 mg. Other strengths, longer release forms, and larger counts have their own prices. Some pharmacies charge less with a free membership or discount card. It does not include tax or extras the provider adds on the day.
Does insurance cover it
Most health plans and Medicare Part D plans cover generic bupropion. Many plans cover it as a lower tier drug, so your copay is often small. Brand Wellbutrin may need your doctor to say why you cannot use the generic. Plans differ, so check your drug list. The prices here are for people who pay cash. Sometimes the cash price with a discount card is lower than your copay, so it is worth a quick check before you pay at the counter.
