QuilliChew ER costs $360–$515/month without insurance. Here's how to save with the Tris Savings Card, coupons, patient assistance programs, and more in 2026.
QuilliChew ER (methylphenidate) is one of the more expensive ADHD medications on the market, with retail prices ranging from $360 to $515 per month. With no generic available, those costs can feel overwhelming — especially for families paying out of pocket. The good news: there are real ways to reduce what you pay. Here's a complete guide to every savings option available in 2026.
Without insurance or a discount card, you can expect to pay:
Prices vary by pharmacy and location. The average retail price across all strengths is approximately $513 per month according to SingleCare, while GoodRx shows prices starting around $359 with coupons.
Because QuilliChew ER has no generic equivalent, you won't find the typical brand-vs-generic price drop that makes many other medications more affordable.
The Tris Savings Card is the manufacturer's own discount program and typically offers the deepest savings:
This should be the first option you try. For most commercially insured patients, the Tris Savings Card will offer better savings than third-party coupons.
GoodRx shows QuilliChew ER prices starting around $359 for 30 tablets, depending on your pharmacy and location. GoodRx coupons are free and can be used by anyone, including those without insurance. Note: GoodRx coupons and the Tris Savings Card cannot be stacked — use whichever gives you the lower price.
SingleCare offers coupons for QuilliChew ER with prices varying by pharmacy. Compare with GoodRx to see which gives you a better deal at your preferred pharmacy.
Additional coupon platforms worth checking include RxSaver, Optum Perks, and BuzzRx. Prices vary by pharmacy, so compare across multiple platforms to find the best deal.
If you're uninsured or underinsured and struggling to afford QuilliChew ER, these programs may help:
Pfizer (which markets QuilliChew ER) offers the RxPathways patient assistance program for eligible patients who can't afford their medications. This may cover QuilliChew ER at no cost or reduced cost for qualifying patients. Eligibility typically requires:
Apply through your prescriber or visit the Pfizer RxPathways website.
These nonprofit resources maintain databases of patient assistance programs. Search for QuilliChew ER or methylphenidate on NeedyMeds.org or RxAssist.org to find current programs you may qualify for.
If cost is a major barrier, talk to your prescriber about whether a different methylphenidate formulation might work. Generic options are dramatically cheaper:
These aren't chewable, but Ritalin LA capsules can be opened and sprinkled on food — a potential option for patients who struggle with pill swallowing.
Prices for QuilliChew ER can vary by $100 or more between pharmacies in the same city. Use Medfinder to find pharmacies that stock QuilliChew ER and compare what they charge.
If your insurance covers QuilliChew ER, make sure you're meeting any prior authorization or step therapy requirements. Contact your insurer to understand your out-of-pocket cost before filling.
