Qbrexza® Affordability Assistance
In late 2018, the FDA-approved, topical anticholinergic wipe Qbrexza® became available in the United States for use in the treatment of axillary (underarm) hyperhidrosis. Qbrexza is owned by Journey Medical Corporation.
To help axillary (underarm) hyperhidrosis patients who reside in the United States and are commercially-insured (people who have private or non-governmental insurance) access Qbrexza, Journey Medical Corporation announced two potentially money-savings programs: Journey Total Access Program and a Qbrexza Patient Savings Card.
Journey Total Access Program
Through the Journey Total Access Program, commercially-insured patients in the United States can send their Qbrexza prescription to an in-network pharmacy listed on the Qbrexza pharmacy locator and (according to Journey Medical Corp.) pay as little as $0 (if their insurance covers Qbrexza) and no more than $50 (if their insurance does not cover Qbrexza). Some pharmacies may also offer direct-to-patient shipping for an additional fee (check with the participating pharmacy for shipping options and costs.) No Patient Savings Card is needed with Journey Total Access and savings are opened up through the use of in-network pharmacies. If, however, patients use an "out-of-network" pharmacy and their insurance does not cover Qbrexza, they could end up paying a significantly higher amount for their prescription.
Qbrexza Patient Savings Card
Really, really want (or need) to use an "out-of-network" pharmacy (one that's not listed on the Qbrexza pharmacy locator)? Here is where the Qbrexza Patient Savings Card can help. Commercially-insured* patients in the United States whose insurance covers Qbrexza, on some level, may still get their prescription for as little as $0 when filled at an "out-of-network" pharmacy if they use the Qbrexza Patient Savings Card. To obain a savings card, download it online. For savings, present the savings card at the pharmacy along with your insurance card and a valid prescription for Qbrexza. Keep in mind, the Qbrexza Patient Savings Card only works for commercially-insured patients in the United States whose plan covers Qbrexza, and is only needed at pharmacies that are not listed on the Qbrexza pharmacy locator.
*Please note that the Qbrexza Patient Savings Card is "valid ONLY for patients with commercial (private or non-governmental) insurance. Patients enrolled in Medicare, Medicaid, Medigap, TRICARE, the Department of Veterans Affairs healthcare program, or any other federal or state government-funded healthcare program (“Government Programs”) are not eligible." Eligible patients must be residents of the United States.
