Adderall & Medicaid New Problems

Hello,

Medicaid’s new prior authorization for adderall requires all the dates and dosages of 4-5 other ADHD meds that you have taken. If your psychiatrist does not have that information, you may be out of luck. I just found out today. I had no problem with coverage last month.

I found a couple options. Small pharmacies can be tried. Call them and ask if you can have your script filled and have no insurance. It should be 1/3 the price of Walgreens. There are also online coupons you can google for those “without insurance”.

I found Walgreens will fill today when I talked to the pharmacy and they gave me the coupon site for them: http:/­/­walgreens.rxsense.com/­

This site is much less out of pocket. For my script (15mg 3 times a day) went from $150 to $87.

Good luck and hugs!
Zen

I had the same thing happen with my Vyvanse. Covered last month but need a prior auth this month. After several days of my Dr going back and forth between Medicaid and CVS it was finally approved yesterday.
