> Hi, same here, they paid part of it this last year but today the new fiscal year starts and it's not on the "preferred list" so they pay hardly anything (and you know it's VERY expensive) and it won't count toward my deductible or the stop-loss total. Plus my other 3 Rx co-pays all double today, too. And the premiums, deductibles, office co-pays, etc. all go up, too. But I only got a 1.5% cost-of-living "raise" this year! Ain't life grand?!
>clueless me! ... i had No Idea!! ... ... i am outraged!!
How in the World can we endure our insurance companies choosing which anti-deprerssant / SSRI we should use !!!!!
<insert sound of scream here!!>
i only WISH my outrage could do anybody any good!!
AAAAAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!
how many people are having to endure this ABUSE ! !!!!
It IS WRONG !!!i co-pay $25 for 30 10mg pills of lex ... about 84 cents a pill .... How much does lex retail for really? .... what AD does your insurance "prescribe"?
i am angry!!
