[QUOTE="OKCHunter, post: 3200924, member: 8534"] I don't want to derail the thread but thought I'd pass along a little experience. I take Metformin and Farxiga for BS. My insurance changed this year to a high deductible plan. I went to pickup my 30 day supply of Farxiga and the co-pay was more than $500; last year it was $20. I refused it with the thought that I'll call the doc and get something else. In the meantime, I went to the manufacturers web site to look for other options. I found a coupon to assist with the co-pay. It took less than a minute to fill-out information (seems like just name, email, zip code, maybe something else). I printed the coupon and went back to the pharmacy. The manufacturer's coupon dropped the co-pay to $115.00. That's manageable for me until I hit the plan limits needed for co-pays to kick-in. You might check into this option. What burns me more is why doesn't the manufacturer just price the med at the coupon price? Seems like they are raping the insurance company when a low co-pay for the patient exists. I would have never checked if I was still on a PPO plan with the $20 co-pay. [/QUOTE]
