[QUOTE="Shari, post: 347131, member: 1848"] Back in January, I picked up my first script for Mononessa (generic ortho cyclen) of the year. Been on it 7 years for endo. My copay had been $10. Now its $50! Come to find out, thru lots of digging, the pharmacy's out of pocket price on the medication, without insurance, is $14.85. So I'm buying it without running it thru my insurance. Today, while looking for info for Wee's medication, I noticed the ins company's website has a prescription cost calculator, so for giggles, I pulled it up and typed in "Ortho cycle". Pulled it right up. If I purchase the name brand medication, according to their calculator, I will pay a $10 copay and the ins company will cover the remaining $45. If I buy the generic, I will pay $50 and the insurance company will pay $0. The numbers were similar for the mail order pharmacy! OMG. How crooked! (Meant to put this in WC ... sorry!) [/QUOTE]
