Long story short, my new insurance will not cover 1/3 of my 30 mg oxycontin. I notice on my breakthrough meds, Oxycodone 20 mg, the bottle says, "Generic for Roxicodone."

What is funny is playing with insurance coverage online, I put in 100 pills a day for oxycodone, and my insurance will approve! Really?

No, there is no other name for Oxycontin, the active ingredient is Oxycodone in a time released formulation, but it isn't available as a generic anymore.

I wonder how their coverage checker is reading them, though?

If it's considering them as regular release formulations, then the 4 a day would be normal, since those are taken every 6 hours and 2 a day is normal for the time released Oxycontin, since it's meant to be taken every 12 hours.
