[QUOTE="SRL, post: 347178, member: 701"] $50 copay for a $15 medication? That's quite a deal...for the insurance company/pharmacy. I had something similar happen right after the new year with Allergra-D, a medication my insurance has covered for over a decade at a cost of $20 to me. The pharmacist warned me that a generic became available and my coverage might be changed so I told him to go with name brand if it still covered it, and if not to do the generic. I returned and he said name brand wouldn't go through at all so he filled the generic at a cost of $70 to me. I passed at that price and went to check it out. After a number of calls to insurance and to another pharmacy to see what they could figure out, it turned out that if the doctor specified do not substitute, it would cover name brand at $20. If generic was specified, nothing was specified or if *I* requested name brand, it wouldn't cover it at all. [/QUOTE]
