Well the company that distributes Contrave has a program and their card will drop the price of Contrave for $70 for the first two months and then $60 a month after that. They also have a program to get the medication for free. You can have a quite high income and still get the medication for free.

Ihines08; first has your doctor talked with your insurance company or the billing dept called the INSURANCE YOU HAVE that would be the first thing to do even when a drug is not covered by the Insurance company the doctors office should know about a prior authorization form that is sent into your insurance to try and get them to cover it for you,This is done often with medication that is not on there list of drugs covered.This is a lot easier than changing Insurance every time something comes up that is not covered.Chuck1957 Good Luck.
