Changes in Insurance Coverage for 2007

[Guest guest]

I'm covered under the FEHBP Aetna HMO for the National Capital area.

In 2007 a couple of changes were made. First, Xolair was moved from

being covered by the medical plan to being covered by the prescription

drug plan. This has the practical effect of now having to pay a co-pay

whereas I did not. On the positive side, now that is covered under the

prescription drug plan Aetna Speciality Pharmacy will ship a three

month supply instead of just one month at a time when it was covered

under the medical plan. The bottom line for me is that I now have to

pay $320 more a year ($80 copay every three months) BUT I don't have

to call every month for a refill.
