Heh, unfortunately those cities are too far for me to get to easily

I thought the whole premise of mail order was to get 3 month supplies so you can get a discount. Because this stuff is $1500 a box, they can only do 1 month's supply at a time. So there's no volume discount. I think they're just trying to increase the PITA factor to try to discourage its use personally.

Beta, have you called and asked for the speciality pharma department? Those of us with chronic diseases that need high dollar meds are frequently put into a special pharma program where you even get a single person point of contact. I get 3 mos of my MS injection via mail order for the same copay as the others but get handled through a different unit.

Is the total cost to you less even if you get only one mos at a time thrugh mail order? Usually, it is.

Another idea is to call the drug manufacturer itself. They frequently will have a website and a program specific to the disease and can help you find your way through the insurance programs.

Just some ideas.
