10. Good luck getting your Insurance Company to cover the name brand

Even if your DR writes a prescription for a name brand most insurance companies can and will substitute the lowest cost generic they can find. Yes Dr’s can do battle with the insurance companies to cover the med but they should not have too. About every 3 months the manufacture of my BP med changes to another manufacture in India that will charge a lower price. My prescription coverage is 10/15, max of $10 for generics and max of $15 for name brand. 2 years ago the generic version of my med was made in the USA and cost me $10 per month, today my med is made in India and costs me $2.35 per month.

I think soon prescription coverage will consist of them telling you to go eat some grass, you will feel better it works for dogs so it will work for you too.
