Venting on perscription costsFrom: Kari (anonymous@obgyn.net)Sat, 7 Jul 2001 17:24:59 -0700
I've always had pretty good insurance but the past few months i've gotten so perturbed. It's impossible to predict what i'll be charged with my Blue Cross California Care. I've heard nothing, gotten nothing in months from the insurer as to perscription prices, so I feel like I'm being ambushed at their whim. First the copay was $10, then 15, then 20. In April I was charged $50 for one Rx and the pharmacy said that a new deductible for name brand drugs had been instituted. Then in May and June I just paid the copay. Today I went to pick up Avandia and Wellbutrin - two meds without a viable generic substitute from what i've been told - at a cost of $170.00 for 30 days worth! (A higher deductible went into effect in July they say.) We are obviously paying for all the TV advertisements these companies are running. Perscription drugs should not be advertised in my opinion, regardless of how it affects costs. I was almost in tears, it's not like I want to take them, I need to take them. Anyone know what's up with BC CaCare's Rx benefits? They've certainly not been informative. Any other alternatives?
