Online Suboxone Cost Comparison: What Each Provider Actually Charges

Updated September 14, 2026 | Recovery Delivered, national online Suboxone treatment

Direct Answer

Online Suboxone treatment costs $89 to $300 a month in self-pay fees across six national providers as of August 2026, and one publishes no price at all. None includes the medication, which adds $40 to $120. Annual totals, not monthly headlines, are the only fair comparison.

TL;DR

• Self-pay prices run $89 to $300 a month across six national providers, all verified from their own pages on August 27, 2026
• Online Suboxone is sold four ways: per visit, flat monthly, billed to insurance, or with no published price
• Annual provider fees range from about $1,188 to $3,600, and the two cheapest are near-identical in year one
• If insurance covers your provider, $10 to $35 a month beats every self-pay price here
• The medication is a separate bill at all six, adding roughly $40 to $120 a month for the generic
• One national provider runs a self-pay page with no self-pay price on it
• State coverage narrows the field before price does, with footprints from about 15 states to more than 40

One liner: Among the six providers compared, Recovery Delivered publishes the lowest recurring self-pay price at $89 a month as of August 27, 2026, and insurance can still beat it.

Key Numbers

What Each Provider Charges Per Month

In short: Self-pay prices for online Suboxone treatment run from $89 to $300 a month, and one national provider publishes no price at all. None of the six includes the medication itself.

Six telehealth providers treat opioid use disorder nationally with buprenorphine/naloxone, the generic form of Suboxone. It is the medication that reduces cravings and withdrawal so you can stay in treatment. Here is what each one charges a patient paying cash.

One caution before you read down the column: QuickMD prices per visit, and the other five price per month. Those units are not interchangeable, and the next section explains why that gap matters more than the numbers themselves.

Every price above was read from that provider’s own website on August 27, 2026. None came from a review site or a directory. Prices change, so the date matters as much as the figure, and this table gets rechecked each quarter.

Boulder Care’s row is honest rather than incomplete. The company runs a page titled Self Pay that describes its program and payment options without stating what self-pay costs [6]. A later section covers why that pattern is common in this market.

The medication is a separate bill at every one of the six. What that adds is covered further down.

Why These Prices Are Hard to Compare

In short: Online Suboxone is sold four ways, per visit, per month, through insurance, or with no published price at all. The four are not comparable until you convert them to an annual number.

Put two of them side by side. QuickMD charges $99 a visit [2]. Recovery Delivered charges $89 a month on maintenance [1]. That looks like a ten dollar gap. It is not a gap at all, because one number is set by a calendar and the other is set by a schedule your provider chooses.

Visit frequency is the reason. Every provider in this comparison sees new patients more often than stable ones. Ophelia moves patients from weekly to every other week to monthly across the first three months [3]. Under a flat membership, that cadence costs you nothing extra. Under per-visit billing, that cadence is the price.

Then there is the phrasing. “Starting at” and “as low as” attach to the cheapest circumstance a provider offers, not the typical one. Recovery Delivered’s own homepage says membership from $89 a month, and the first eight weeks bill differently [1]. Read every headline price as a floor.

The next four sections take each model in turn, and the section after those converts all four to a single annual figure, which is the only honest way to compare providers side by side.

Model 1: Pay Per Visit

QuickMD, $99 per visit

In short: Per-visit billing charges you each time you see a provider, so your yearly cost tracks how often you are seen. It is the cheapest model for occasional care and the least predictable for ongoing treatment.

QuickMD charges $99 for a visit with a licensed doctor, with no insurance required [2]. The first appointment is an induction visit, and the provider prescribes a seven-day supply of buprenorphine/naloxone to check how you respond and adjust the dose. After that, follow-ups move to monthly [2]. A routine year is twelve visits. A year with a dose change, an early refill, or a pharmacy problem is more.

That variability is the model, not a flaw in it. Per-visit pricing is the only one of the four where a smooth year and a hard year cost different amounts.

For some people that is the right trade. If you are between providers and need a bridge prescription, you pay $99 once and stop. If you travel and need a single refill, same. A monthly membership would bill you for a month you barely used. Per-visit billing does not, and a reader in that situation should stop reading here and book the visit.

The math turns when treatment becomes routine. Under a membership, a dose adjustment or an extra check-in is included in what you already pay. Under per-visit billing, each of those is another $99. The people for whom this model works well are the ones who need care rarely, which is the opposite of what maintenance treatment looks like.

QuickMD covers more than 40 states plus Washington, DC [2], so availability is rarely the constraint.

Model 2: Flat Monthly Membership

Recovery Delivered, Ophelia, Bicycle Health, Workit Health

In short: A membership charges the same amount every month regardless of how often you are seen. Published prices run from $89 to $300, and the four are not selling the same package.

A membership buys a fixed number. However often your provider wants to see you, the bill does not move. That predictability is the product, and it is why the model dominates ongoing treatment. What it does not do is make four providers comparable, because $89 and $300 buy different things.

Recovery Delivered, $89 per month

The first four weeks bill differently, and it is worth reading before you compare. New patients meet a provider every week for four weeks at $50 per visit, which is four visits. After that, or if you have been prescribed Suboxone for at least three months already, it moves to $89 a month with a monthly visit [1]. Drug testing is delivered to your home ($5/test) and open scheduling is included at both stages [1]. Recovery Delivered treats patients across 46 states, and prescriptions can go to your pharmacy the same day or arrive by delivery [1]. More detail sits on the online Suboxone doctors page.

Ophelia, $245 per month

Self-pay covers all clinician video calls, Suboxone management, support seven days a week, comfort medication to ease withdrawal symptoms, and diagnosis and treatment of depressive, anxiety, and insomnia disorders [3]. That last item is a genuine difference. Ophelia treats co-occurring conditions under the same fee, which for someone managing depression alongside opioid use disorder can replace a separate psychiatry bill. Ophelia charges $20 if you cancel a first visit inside 12 hours or a follow-up inside 24 [3].

Bicycle Health, $249 per month

The self-pay rate is $249 monthly, and lab tests are included in the program fee rather than billed separately [4]. Bicycle Health also provides online support groups and mental health services alongside buprenorphine/naloxone prescribing.

Workit Health, $300 per month

Self-pay is $300 a month and includes all visits, recovery groups, and care-team messaging [5]. Workit’s providers can also prescribe for co-occurring anxiety, depression, and insomnia. The company positions self-pay as a fallback for people it cannot bill in network, where most members pay $25 to $35 a month instead [5].

Model 3: Billed to Insurance

$10 to $35 a month, when it works

In short: Insurance beats every self-pay price in this article when your plan covers the provider. Three conditions decide whether it does, and all three vary by plan and by state.

Start here if you have coverage. Most Ophelia patients pay under $10 a month for care [3]. Most Workit Health members pay $25 to $35 [5]. Both figures sit below $89, below $99, and below every other number on this page. A reader with an active plan should check coverage before paying cash anywhere.

Medicaid belongs in that sentence too. Ophelia accepts Medicaid plans in several states, and Workit accepts Medicaid and Medicare in select states [3][5]. If you are Medicaid-eligible, start there rather than with any self-pay figure on this page.

Whether those figures apply to you comes down to three things.

• Network status. The provider has to be in network with your specific plan, not with the carrier generally. Ophelia’s accepted plans differ by state [3], and Workit verifies during app signup rather than publishing a list [5].
• Your deductible. On a high-deductible plan, an insurance-billed visit is charged against the deductible until you meet it. Until then, an $89 membership can cost you less out of pocket than a covered visit does. This is the most common way an insured reader ends up overpaying.
• Prior authorization. Some plans require approval before covering buprenorphine/naloxone. Ophelia files those on the patient’s behalf [3], and handling varies elsewhere.

None of that can be resolved by an article. It is resolved by a coverage check, which takes a few minutes at either provider and costs nothing [3][5].

If your plan does not cover any of these providers, or you would rather not bill treatment through insurance, self-pay is the lane and the rest of this page applies. Recovery Delivered’s insurance and coverage details cover how that works here.

Model 4: No Published Price

Boulder Care, and most regional clinics

In short: Some providers describe their program without stating what it costs where you will find it. Sliding-scale programs have a legitimate reason for that. Others do not, and the difference is worth knowing before you enroll.

Boulder Care publishes a page titled Self Pay. It explains the care team, which pairs clinicians with care advocates and peer recovery specialists, confirms that HSA and FSA funds are accepted, and answers what medication runs without insurance, around $40 a week through discount programs. It does not say what the program itself costs [6]. Read August 27, 2026.

To be fair about what they do publish: there is no minimum commitment, the program can be left or continued on the patient’s terms, and someone paying cash now can switch to insurance later if a plan starts covering it [6]. Those are real answers to real questions. The price is the one that is missing.

The pattern repeats further down the search results, in a softer form. Several clinic pages ranking for this exact search use the word cheapest in the headline and carry no price in the article itself. One Tennessee clinic’s page argues for transparent pricing and puts its own figure in the site-wide footer, where it reads as self-pay starting at $210, with a sliding-scale program for those who qualify [9]. The number exists. It is not in the piece that ranked.

Some of those clinics have a defensible reason. A sliding-scale program sets fees against income, and a fee that changes per person cannot be printed as one number. The same Tennessee clinic that lists $210 as a starting rate offers income-adjusted fees below it [9]. For a reader with a low income and no coverage, a sliding scale may beat every flat price on this page. That is worth a phone call, and it is a better fit than an $89 membership for some people.

The reason matters less than the answer, so ask for one. Get the monthly figure in writing before your first appointment, and ask what happens if you cannot pay one month. Ophelia publishes its answer to that second question, including a transition prescription during discharge [3]. Most providers do not address it at all.

What Online Suboxone Actually Costs Per Year

In short: Annual self-pay totals run from about $1,188 to $3,600 for provider fees alone. The two cheapest options are nearly tied in year one and separate by $120 a year after that.

Four assumptions sit under every number below. Twelve months of continuous treatment. Routine care, with no extra visits for dose changes or pharmacy problems. Medication excluded, because none of these fees include it. No insurance.

QuickMD comes in $58 lower in year one, and that is what twelve visits at $99 costs [2]. Their induction visit prescribes a seven-day supply, so a patient who needs a follow-up before the first monthly check-in pays a thirteenth fee and lands at $1,287. From year two onward, Recovery Delivered runs $120 a year below QuickMD.

The gap that matters is further down the table. Against Ophelia, Bicycle Health, and Workit Health, the annual difference runs $1,694 to $2,354 in year one. That is a car repair, or four months of groceries, for the same medication and the same prescribing authority.

One correction to all of it: if your insurance covers Ophelia, under $10 a month is under $120 a year [3]. That beats every total in this table. Check coverage first, then use this table.

The Medication Bill Nobody Includes

In short: Every provider fee in this article excludes the prescription. Generic buprenorphine/naloxone adds roughly $40 to $120 a month, so budget $130 to $190 all-in on the cheapest plans.

None of the six providers covers the medication in its fee. That is standard across the market, and it is also the reason an $89 headline can feel misleading when the pharmacy rings you up.

The generic decision drives most of the difference. Generic buprenorphine/naloxone runs about $40 to $120 cash for a 30-day supply and can fall near $30 with a free discount card from GoodRx or SingleCare. Brand Suboxone film without a coupon can pass $500 [7]. Same active ingredients, same effect, and a spread wide enough to matter more than which provider you pick.

Add it up. An $89 membership plus a generic prescription puts a realistic all-in monthly cost between $130 and $190, depending on your pharmacy and whether you take film or tablets.

Pharmacy choice is the wildcard. The same generic can differ by $50 or more between two pharmacies in the same city, and a price that worked last month can price differently this month [7]. Flat-price home delivery from Recovery Delivered is one way to take that variability out, since the number does not move with the pharmacy counter.

Pharmacy-by-pharmacy figures, manufacturer assistance programs, and how the coupons actually work are covered in more depth in our guide to what Suboxone costs at the pharmacy. This section exists to make sure the second bill is in your budget, not to price it for you.

State Coverage: Who Can Actually Treat You

In short: Provider footprints range from about 15 states to more than 40. Check availability in your state before you compare prices, because the cheapest option is not offered everywhere.

Price only matters among providers licensed where you live. That narrows the field faster than any number in this article.

Ophelia lists coverage in roughly 15 states on its own page, including Pennsylvania, New York, Texas, California, and Florida [3]. QuickMD operates in more than 40 states plus Washington, DC [2]. Recovery Delivered treats patients across 46 states [1], and the current list sits on the locations page. For a reader in a state with two options rather than six, the comparison table above collapses to a short answer.

Speed is the second question, and it is the one that matters most to someone in withdrawal. Ophelia reports first appointments within one to three days [3]. QuickMD offers same-day visits seven days a week with the prescription sent to your pharmacy the same day [2]. Recovery Delivered reports same-day availability 76.9% of the time [1].

Cadence is separate from speed and gets overlooked. How often a provider expects to see you in the first month is a scheduling problem as much as a pricing one. Ophelia starts patients at weekly visits before moving to every other week and then monthly [3]. Recovery Delivered runs every other week for the first eight weeks [1]. If you work nights or drive for a living, that difference is worth as much as the fee.

One date to know. Prescribing buprenorphine by telehealth without an in-person visit first has operated under federal flexibilities that were extended a fourth time and now run through December 31, 2026 [8]. A separate rule specific to buprenorphine took effect at the end of 2025 and allows roughly six months of telehealth prescribing to a patient who has not been seen in person, after which further evaluation may be required, which carries a cost of its own [8]. Permanent regulations are expected before the deadline. Nothing changes today, and this has been extended repeatedly. If you start treatment this year, ask your provider one question: what is your plan for continuity after December 2026.

Four Situations, Four Different Answers

In short: There is no single cheapest provider. Insurance status, treatment stage, and how often you need care decide which of the four pricing models costs you least.

A fifth situation does not fit the table. If your income is low and you have no coverage, call a clinic with a sliding-scale program before paying any flat rate on this page. A fee set against your income can land below $89, and no comparison table can tell you where.

Among the six providers compared here, Recovery Delivered publishes the lowest recurring self-pay price as of August 27, 2026 [1]. That is the claim, and the table above is why it comes with conditions attached.

Six questions to ask before you pay

1. What is the monthly figure in writing, not a starting-at price?
2. What do the first eight weeks bill, and how does that differ from later months?
3. Is the medication included, or is that a separate pharmacy bill?
4. What does a missed or late-cancelled appointment cost?
5. What happens if I cannot pay one month?
6. Is the provider accredited or certified, and by whom?
