If it's really generic, the pricing is what it is.

Don't need "seems" and speculation. Something changed. Find out what it is. Perhaps doc prescribed brand-name and they wouldn't substitute. Perhaps it's no longer owned by same company. Perhaps the terms of your insurance changed. Or it was a day or two shy of when you could refill.

Lots of possible causes. Don't know enough.
