Suboxone Help? Insurance? (Page 5)

Hi my name is Carrie and I'm from Hermosa Beach, CA.. I have been taking oral 8mg suboxone for months, as it really helps me and keeps me from popping 40 vicodin or norco's a day. I was on cobra with Blue cross when I began taking it, but it was too expensive. The cobra was 600 a month. Do you know of any independent rx coverage for suboxone? Right now i just paid 400 for 90 of them, and that's a one month supply. I'm better off taking the vicodins. I am disabled, but haven't gotten approved for medical yet. I have no insurance. If you have any suggestions, please help me, best regards.

Jamestaa,
That's the quickest way to find yourself flagged the prescription monitoring program is now active in almost all areas of the country so if you've been prescribed this drug in the past the pharmacy running your ID WILL NO DOUBT RETURN YOUR HISTORY.Thats a hassle no one needs.

Im going thru sort of the same thing right now. I just got Florida blue and they r telling me they won't cover my buph unless I'm a pregnant woman or have an fda exception saying am allergic To naloxone. Anyways, I always have filled them at Walmart. The service there sucks and takes hours to fill them but it cost me 120 a month for 75 bupe pills there with a discount card that's free, called badger discount card. That's what I've been doing until my insurance will actually cover them like they should

Best advice I've read yet. I weined myself way down. I went from taking 4 subs per day to now literally 1/4 of a strip which is 8 mg. Per day and I've been at this dosage for several months now and it works for me.

My only question is this: which insurance can I get that will cover pharmacy cost of suboxone? My current employer offers none so it will have to be private I suppose. Thanks

My comment came off wrong. It was for a program. That helps you pay. But they would only cover you for so long. Where ive been going for a long time i was wondering if that's a no no to be accepted. Don't remember the program name at the moment. But i do not doctor shop, trust me never would. And couldn't ever afford it. Right now i have no ins. and didn't no if there are any better programs or cheap discount cards around. Sorry for the mis clarification.

Does the obama care ins. Cover the suboxone generic tablets?? I pay out of pocket for doc and scripts. Paying 700 a month right now using goodtx card helps.

I am on 90 as well and my insurance won't cover it. I live in Florida and I use an RX discount card and it dropped the price from 900 to 344.

Re: Patti (# 89)

What discount card do you use? My wife is covered through NY Medicaid and uses it for pain management but we are nervous about prescription prices

I live in Indiana and since I have a job the state said I made to much for ordinary Medicaid. But however I do qualify for the healthy Indiana plan or (hip) I believe it must be a form of Medicaid because when they sent me my insurance cards it say HIP/Medicaid. I pay about 30 dollars a month for this and I'm given a prescription for sure ozone weekly. They now pay for all of my script and I pay nothing at the pharmacy. Before I had to pay 130 dollars for a seven day supply. The catch is that HIP will only cover the tablet form and will no longer cover the film's. I prefer the the film's.s which I was on till I had to switch because insurance wouldn't cover them. They still get the job done and it may just be me but.i feel these tablets are a bit weaker even though they are the same milligram supposedly. But I have not had any withdrawal or sickness but the craving is there much more than with the strips.

Re: Healthy in Indiana (# 92)

Yes they are weaker. No one i know thinks they are the same. Maybe look for a drug/mental health place to get them to pay for your meds. Mine does and i take 3 subs a day and some other meds, but i give about 6 hours a month up for free meds.

I have been told the reason a lot of insurance companies do cover subs is because they want you to be monitored by drug and mental health counselors. I see a lot of people on here having problems with doctors not writing them to ya or the cost of the meds. I have left a reply on a few of your comments but everyone should try and get into an outpatient drug/mental health program (here in Missouri we have one and it's called SEMO). I give them a group meeting once a week for a dr. Appointment once a month and an hour with the nut doctor every 3 months and I get all my meds and dr. Appointments free of charge. If you have a methadone clinic in your area see what they say or they may know of a program for your needs. I wish all of you luck. Stay clean cause we deserve a good life. I'm 14 months clean of opiates on the 19th .....Go me go me.
