QuilliChew savings card?

Hi all,

My son is on QuilliChew, which is basically like Concerta, just a chewable. There is no generic version, and we have a high-deductible health plan, so we're paying nearly $300/month for this. I'm happy to do it, as it helps him, but if I can save money, I will.

I was going to ask his psychiatrist to switch him to Concerta (he has no trouble swallowing pills, so I'm actually not even sure why he was put on a chewable), but I saw that Tris Pharma has a savings card on its website. Has anyone ever tried this or another similar savings card? Do they really save you any money? I've never used one before.

Thanks!

I’m not familiar with that card, but am familiar with GoodRx. The goodrx app lets you look up the price of any prescription and compare at all of your nearby pharmacies. The price difference is shocking! Costco and a local grocery store are often the least expensive while Walgreens is often the most. The card itself is free and does offer a savings over no insurance.

Another organization you might want to check is needymeds.org. We often referred our Medicare aged clients (with no drug coverage) to them. Many manufacturers offer free meds or discount through application.

Of course, switching to a generic might be the best bet of all, as you noted! Good luck!

I think Aspen797 has some awesome suggestions. For us, we do not have prescription insurance coverage - so I use GoodRx normally for the medication. We just ordered the Quillachew XR via GoodRx and it came down to about $350 (I guess retail is about $470) but when I used the website's (Tris Pharma) savings card - it came down to about $169. The pharmacist will ask for the Bin#, Group#, etc (it's listed on the card) So it worked for us and hoping it will do the same for you!
