Medical Insurance Paying for Proscar?

[bombscience]

Hey All,

Anyone actually have a prescription to Proscar that their medical insurance pays for? If so please let me know the trickery that you used to get it?

Thanks.

Some insurance companies have software that will pick this up. In other words, they will match a 25 yrd old with a proscar Rx and red flag it.

If you were say 45, no issue at all.

United is one of the sharper health plans out there. No surprise they would catch this!

They wouldn't pay for prescription allergy medication because a less potent version was available OTC.

AND i have like the best PPO plan going.

Bomb,

My dermatologist actually recommended to ME, that I use Proscar instead of Propecia. I had never heard of Proscar at the time, and he actually told me it's the same sh*t and insurance covers it. I pay $20 for 30 pills , which I cutup into 5ths with a razor blade. I essentially pay $20.00 for 150 days worth. I needed no trickery. I would suggest flat out asking.

Cheers, Tony

The derm does not legally authorize payment, just the pharmacy to dispense. The health plan may still reject this if they pick it up and may ask you for the money back to boot!

Good luck

Most of us get this with a job (employment).

Right, I want to know if he's young and the medical insurance missed it...

Not all insurance companies are sharp in this area but some are. Also some are more aggressive in recovery mode, so some might simply stop the RX from being paid for on a go forward basis. Others consider it fraud and try for recovery and the like.

Depends. I don't think it's worth it. Cutting Proscare into sixths cost me about $15 pe month..

Why screw around for that?
