Suboxone Help? Insurance? (Page 2) (Top voted first)

Updated

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.

hi just started taking suboxone and find that i prefer the film to the pill but on my current insurance i can only get the pill. i was wondering if you know whether you get the pill or film on healthnet under commonwealth care (im switching to that)?

I have been on Suboxone for about 3 months now. I'm on 8mg and taking 3/4 film daily my doctor cuts me down monthly i'm only getting 13 now! They cost so much!! But i do not have to pay for my doctor visits or nothing due to i don't have a job so i'm approve for this one program that he offers so thank god on that part. I'm trying to find a other doctor that will write me a month supply so i don't have to go every week! Plus 13 films isn't a lot when i first started i only got 14 for 4 weeks then i got cut down. My doctor is really cool and nice he actually wants you off of it but like i said i hate going every week and going to group i would rather get a month supply of 90 or something :) :) :)

I pay for my Drs visit out of pocket. But have found coupons on the Internet. I get 60-8mgs a month for like $205. They are the generic tablets but work just as well

You have to call call call be a pain in the ass to the Dr so they won't forget I have atnea and it needs prior authorization to pay for script it took 2 weeks for anyone to do anything calling insurance to Dr office back to back making sure they did there job Dr will say yes we sent fax then insurance say we never got, you have to hold these people hand to make sure they do it right! This kind of med isnt one of those "u can miss a day" med! Anyways, this went on 2 week finally insurance got fax had to wait 24-48 hr for review then 3 day waiting they said Dr left the treatment plan blank n had wait few more days just to be denied! Cause Dr didn't have the right creditional but Dr says he does have all that now I'm waiting for appeal but they want to start setting up the assistance program which I'm sure means I've been denied
Aneta also override my script cause it taking forever so they got me on med for week started to get to normal just to cut me off so for the moment I'm paying out of pocket $120 a week methadone was lot cheaper but I owe methadone clinic $800 +$400 month to continue cause of the insurance screwed me over an stopped paying out of nowhere an it took clinic two month to realize. Im a 19 year old girl with a 35hr $10 minimum wage job who just want to start over!

They do!
but if u read my reply under Kristina
Find a Dr. That has to right opiate dependency treatment credentials (I forgot the name of the cerification they had to have) or you will be denied. I could be paying $40 copay got stuck paying $120 a week the Dr said he had all the certification But I don't know what happened now I'm waiting on an appeal. It took two week of calling back and forth to get anything done just to get denied during that wait time they did a 1-time override paid for my scrpit and got me on sub and back to normal then cut me off!

Ask for generic Subutex aka Buprenorphine.. It is still expensive without insurance, approx $5-6 per 8mg pill at most pharmacies, but better than $11-13 for Suboxone. Suboxone is a joke, it is dangerous and puts too much into your system. I am still expelling orangeness from my body after over a month of being on Bup. I have felt no changes physically or mentally. Same stuff, just cheaper. Tell your doctors what you can or cannot afford.

I think this is just crazy. Y does suboxone cost so much. U would think sence it works so well for people that they would want to make it cheaper cuz it would help stop so much vilence in this world. but instead they would rather have the money IM gana write the f***ing white house or somthing maybe the president will listen if he even gets my letter idk that might sound crazy but im gana try. I dont care what anyone says suboxone has gave me part of my life back now im dependent on the suboxone instead of my drug of choice but i think its better for me than doing the drugs. SUBOXONE JUST MAKES ME FEEL NORMAL.

Hi everyone! I have been desperatly searching for a rx program in illinois that would help pay for my suboxone prescription every month. I only take one 2mg film per day so my script runs me aroung 125 dollars per month. If you go to the suboxone website you can print out a $50 dollar off coupon. It's good for an entire year so once your pharmacy enters the coupon into their system you will get $50 dollars off of your prescription every month. Once the coupon expires you can just go to the website and print a new one out. I've been using the coupon for 2 years now and although it doesn't save a whole lot, anything helps. The coupon is for the suboxone films not the tablets.

Did u have to get your doctor to call or sign up? or did u do this yourself? My spouse has had the same job job since we got married (16 years) & his insurance does not cover the subs & he's been on them a long while & now dropped the insurance as it's useless & costly but we had to borrow $700 just to get one month of generics & are not able to do this again, any help would be greatly appreciated!

Reading all these posts make me happy, I'm not alone. I am so frustrated with the "doctors" or legal drug dealers. I get mine off the street now. Its cheaper. I have been slowly decreasing myself and plan on locking my door , turning off my phone and going through hell for a few days. I'm sick of this drugs control over my life!!
