The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved it for <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">weight loss<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and long-term weight management in adults and pediatric patients 12 years and older with <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">obesity<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, as well as adults who are overweight with at least one weight-related health condition, such as <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">high blood pressure<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">high cholesterol<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Like all weight-loss drugs, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Qsymia<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is recommended for use alongside lifestyle changes like a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity. If your healthcare provider has prescribed Qsymia, you will want to know if your Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBS) plan pays for this medicine. The short answer is: Maybe. There are a lot of moving pieces, so you\u2019ll want to check with your plan for more information about coverage and out-of-pocket costs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"does-blue-cross-blue-shield-cover-qsymia\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Does Blue Cross Blue Shield cover Qsymia?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s hard to say whether BCBS will cover Qsymia (brand or generic) in general. There are a lot of considerations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, since Qsymia generics have been <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fda.gov\/drugs\/drug-and-biologic-approval-and-ind-activity-reports\/first-generic-drug-approvals\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">approved by the FDA<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, some <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">formularies<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (lists of covered drugs and their tiers) may cover generic versions instead of brand-name Qsymia. And even if the formulary lists brand-name Qsymia as a covered drug, that could change. Drug formularies aren\u2019t updated in real time, so the information you find online may not be up to date.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For instance, the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fepblue.org\/-\/media\/FEPBlue-Sitecore-10-Media\/PDFs\/Brochures\/2025\/FEP2025AbbrevFormularyBook-R20-WCAG.pdf\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">BCBS Federal Employee Program<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> currently lists brand-name Qsymia as a covered drug, but this may not reflect the most recent updates if the formulary has since changed to prefer generics.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">BCBS not only has commercial health insurance plans (such as through an employer), but also Medicare prescription plans and Medicaid plans. Medicare prescription plans currently <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">do not cover drugs used strictly for weight loss<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which means Qsymia is not covered. Medicaid coverage varies by state, but the majority of insurance plans under Medicaid typically do not cover Qsymia. A new <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/obesitymedicine.org\/blog\/oma-applauds-plan-to-cover-obesity-medications-under-medicare-and-medicaid\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">federal pilot program<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> starting in 2026 for Medicaid and 2027 for Medicare may allow some plans to cover GLP-1 drugs such as <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wegovy<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Zepbound<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for weight management (injectable drugs that are given as weekly doses)\u2014but this does not affect Qsymia coverage.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, some weight loss drugs are FDA approved for other conditions, too. For example, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Zepbound<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (tirzepatide) is FDA approved for long-term weight management, but it\u2019s also approved for moderate to severe <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">obstructive sleep apnea<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in adults with obesity. In cases like this, someone who cannot get coverage for a weight loss medication may be able to get coverage under another use\u2014if their medical provider prescribes it for another FDA-approved indication. This does not apply to Qsymia, however, which is FDA approved only for weight loss.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"how-much-is-qsymia-without-insurance\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How much is Qsymia without insurance?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Without insurance or discounts, you can expect to pay about $311 for 30, 7.5 mg\/46 mg capsules of brand-name Qsymia.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Using your free <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> discount card<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, you can pay as low as $173 for brand-name <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Qsymia<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. And if you fill your prescription with <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">generic phentermine-topiramate<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, you can pay as little as $79 for a one-month supply.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The  card and coupons are accepted at more than <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">35,000 pharmacies<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in the U.S. and Puerto Rico. You can use the discount for your initial Qsymia prescription and for refills.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"how-much-does-qsymia-cost-with-bcbs\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How much does Qsymia cost with BCBS?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s hard to generalize an average patient responsibility because costs depend on your specific health plan. If you have a BCBS Medicare or Medicaid prescription plan, it is unlikely that Qsymia will be covered. If you have a commercial BCBS insurance plan, and either brand-name or generic Qsymia is included on your formulary, you can get an accurate estimate of your costs directly from your plan.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\t\t<\/p>\n<div id=\"coupon-cta\" class=\"coupon-cta master-template\">\n<p id=\"headline\">Save up to 80% on Qsymia with <\/p>\n<p id=\"subheadline\">Different pharmacies offer different prices for the same medication.  helps find the best price for you.<\/p>\n<div class=\"details-wrap\">\n<p>\n\t\t\t\t\tQsymia 7.5-46 mg (30 Capsule)\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\t\t\t23666 &#8211; Hampton, VA\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"api-response\">\n<div class=\"coupon\">\n<div class=\"logo\">\n\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.singlecare.com\/content\/images\/pharmacy\/logo-color-cvs.svg\" alt=\"CVS Pharmacy\"\/>\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"coupon\">\n<div class=\"logo\">\n\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.singlecare.com\/content\/images\/pharmacy\/logo-color-kroger.svg\" alt=\"Kroger Pharmacy\"\/>\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>\t\t\tSee Qsymia prices at all pharmacies\n\t\t<\/p><\/div>\n<p>\t\t<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"how-to-check-whether-your-bcbs-plan-covers-qsymia\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How to check whether your BCBS plan covers Qsymia\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since plans vary in their coverage, the most reliable way to find out whether your plan covers Qsymia is to check the formulary for the exact plan of your health insurance company. You can do this by:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Logging in to the BCBS website to find drug coverage information for your specific plan<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Calling BCBS member services: The phone number should be on your ID card.

You can use  at a participating pharmacy every month to save money on your prescription. Without insurance, you can expect to pay about $311 for a one-month supply of brand-name Qsymia. If you use a  discount card or coupon, you can pay as low as $173 for brand-name Qsymia or as low as $79 for the generic version, depending on your choice of pharmacy and location.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Weight loss coupons and resources<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are some other ways to save on Qsymia:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Visit the Vivus Inc. manufacturer website to learn more about saving money on brand-name Qsymia.

Check the website to find out more about all of these options and eligibility criteria.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Reach out to different local pharmacies and ask if they stock generic Qsymia. If they do, you can ask about the price of this medicine, as well as the price difference for a one-month or three-month supply. Some pharmacies charge less when you purchase a larger quantity.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ask your pharmacist or healthcare provider if they know of any resources in your community that can help you pay for your medicine, such as health departments or clinics that offer free or lower-cost medicines.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your price for Qsymia, or generic Qsymia, is still expensive, talk to your healthcare provider. There are many other alternatives to Qsymia that are effective for a weight loss treatment plan suited to your specific needs and that may be covered by your insurance.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><svg
