Common Questions and Answers about Chantix and insurance coverage
chantix
I am BiPolar II rapid cycling and a smoker. I was taking Depakote, Lithium, and Propranolol. I have been off my meds for almost 3 months because I lost my insurance. I want to stop smoking. Since I am struggling with my moods due to lack of meds, I am very concerned about how the nicotine withdrawals if I were to quit cold turkey. Any suggestions? From my research I have found that Chantix is definitely not an option for me.
You will have to tell the insurance you are married bc you have to change your name with them.
I have been diagnosed with myopic degeneration and receive the intraocular injection which is very effective. My insurance carrier will not cover the cost of the injection (medicine and surgery). If I had a diagnosis of macular degeneration it would be fully covered. I am looking for suggestions as to how to make my case with the insurance carrier that this is not a one time event but a chronic condition that if not treated would result in a loss of vision.
If drug treatment is covered by your health insurance- can it be denied as a "pre-existing condition" if you were getting treatment and paying out of pocket before you got the insurance??? Anybody know? Someone told my son that because of ADA it cannot be denied. Anybody know?
Good point on the potential changes in insurance coverage. The copays and % coverage of trt can change during annual renewals. Many businesses review their health insurance policies on a calendar or fiscal year basis and the changes can really add up for those using these expensive drugs. With increases in the cost of insurance coverage is sometimes watered down, resulting in small increases in premiums, but poorer coverage.
My husband and I have been trying to get pregnant for 6 years. We finally got pregnant (our miracle baby) I'm about 6 weeks and NO insurance. Deadline for coverage was Feb 15th. Any recommendations for insurance or ideas Thank you.
Since Katheryn is not currently covered by any insurance, and if she were to become eligible for group insurance through an employer she would need to find a different doctor with no prior knowledge of her illness. Otherwise, once the insurance company receives the information from her doctor, they will determine it is pre-existing and she will have to wait to be covered for treatment of hepc approximately 6 months. That's the usual length of time on pre-existing illnesses.
I'm not sure if Armour would be covered by Medicaid or not, because Medicaid typically only covers generics (without a medically sound reason for brand name) and there is no generic Armour. Your co-pay will depend on the insurance you have. I'm on Tirosint and my co-pay is about $54/mo; my co-pay for generic T3 med is about $9 for 90 days, but I have pretty fair insurance.
Not getting the treatment you need is always a chance you take whenever changing doctors.
Once we depleted our 24k, DH and I purchased secondary insurance. I live in Massachusetts and it is also the law to cover IVF. This has allowed us to continue with our IVF treatments, which has been a blessing! You should talk to your clinic and ask them which insurance works the best for the clinic and go purchase it, again, as a secondary insurance. We plan on dropping the secondary plan when we become pregnant, God willing! Good luck!
hey yall- im on sub film strips and i have medicare part D coverage and for 10 oe them i have 2 pay 41 dollars. does this sound right? it cost the same for ten loracets. the sub works its just cost too much!
No. Your insurance will hopefully. PIP (personal injury protection) kicks in immediately. Then your insurance goes after them for coverage. At least that's how it works here.
Are you including government health insurance, such as medicaid and medicare in your list?
There are so many different types of insurance as well. Policy coverage can range from excellent to minimal. The out-of-pocket expenses might be an intersting poll for you to put together as well.
This is a great question.
Do any of you have pet insurance. I've looked at a couple but they seem like a rip off. A lot of stuff is excluded from coverage and after the deductible and what they don't cover, it seems like what little they do pay is not as much as the premiums.
