How to pay the least

Cash price

$680+ for 30 tablets

Pharmacies pay about this for Verquvo; you’d pay more.

  1. Ask your pharmacy for Verquvo’s cash price, and one or two other pharmacies too.
  2. Verquvo’s savings card works only with insurance from a job or one you bought.

Has to be Verquvo? With Optum Perks’ free coupon, Target (CVS) lists it for $748 for 30 tablets without insurance.

In the maker’s words

“Eligible, privately insured patients may pay as little as $10 per prescription on each qualifying prescription.”

From the maker’s offer on activatethecard.com, checked November 2, 2026. Co-pay cards can’t be used with Medicare (including Medicare Advantage), Medicaid, TRICARE or VA.

Maker’s card or discount card?

A discount card like GoodRx lowers the pharmacy’s cash price, but for a brand-name drug that price often stays high. Compare it with the maker’s card above. You can usually use one or the other on a fill, not both.

Brand nameWith a free discount coupon

Optum Perks, Optum’s free discount coupon, lists these prices for Verquvo without insurance. Show the coupon from its page at the pharmacy; it can’t be used with insurance.

From Optum Perks, read November 2, 2026, with no location set. Its page opens on this dose; other doses and pharmacies near you are priced there too. With insurance, check your co-pay first: it may be lower.

Authorized genericNot sold

There isn’t one. An authorized generic is Verquvo itself, from the same company, sold without the brand name, and usually for less. For now Verquvo is the only choice; its maker’s savings card can lower what you pay.

Regular genericNot sold

No generic is sold yet. Generics usually come once the brand’s patents and exclusivity end. Until then, the maker’s savings card is the way to pay less.
