Insurance won't pay

[Guest guest]

.. << Have been using (Ambien) samples for 2 weeks, went to fill prescription

today and insurance won't pay for it.>>

That is a crock!! I was shocked to see $108 for one bottle of Ambien at my

local Safeway Pharmacy, but my secondary insurance paid for all but $9. I

have a supplemental to go with my Military Tricare Prime. Any of you others

on Tricare, look at a supplemental if you can't get your meds at a military

pharmacy!! When you are on stuff like this or the anti-virals for Shingles

that cost several hundred dollars for ten days supply you have to be covered.

Hope that RP won't keep you from getting supplemental. I will keep the

Mediplus supplimental after I go on military medicare in October. So far

with two hospitalizations, one surgery, scads of baseline testing by several

specialists and lots of expensive meds I am only out the insurance premiums

and an occasional $8 or $9 for med when Air Force Academy pharmacy doesn't

have something (like Ambien).

, I'm on Tricare also (regular not even Prime) and it covers 80% of all my meds including Ambien. Also, have you checked into the merck-medco mail order parmacy through tricare? You only pay 8.00 per prescription and they deliver it within 2 days to your house. They recently approved my enbrel so now I pay 8.00 for a 2 month supply as opposed to the 200.00 (which was still better than 1100.00) per month through the pharmacy!

Hi all

I guess I am very fortunate. lAltough I have medicare (which does not

pay for scripts) troughmy husands work also have united Heath care.

FOR Scripts they pay 80% per script up tp $20 until I reach my personal

or our famiy deductible ad then I pay 0% for scriptsfor heremainder of

the caender yer. I reched mydeductible the middle of february so now all

the meds until December are absolutely free. Tat is a odsend becaue my

scripts according to the pharmacist avergge about $2400 month. I don't

knowwhat i will do if Iever lose this coverage. UHC has never deniedme

any prescribed med. The UHC plan is a special plan negotiated with the

place my husbad works.

love and hugsto all
