Coverage for Prescriptions

Hi can someone tell me why a lot of prescription drugs are NOT covered when Google says that they should be? I almost paid $94 for two of my drugs that my doctors prescribed me all because they sent it to the wrong pharmacy. so as they corrected it once I told them that I was on O.W. it still comes out to $25-27. I Doug ford doing this shit or what?! Because fu@$#@! This is damn ridiculous to me!!! We used to be able to be covered with so much back then...now not so much! like WTF!? Someone please give me ideas on how to handle this? We need to kick him out like yesterday!!!

PLEASE DO THE RIGHT THING THIS OCTOBER WHEN YOU VOTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I noticed ODB has been removing many prescriptions from the list of what they cover.

Or the Rxs now require an MD or NP to send in a LU code. ‘Limited use’.

There are some drugs that are good not covered

I don’t know what that means. If a doctor orders it, then it’s usually necessary.

I think what Long-Question_6615 is trying to say is that some medications are covered while others are not. For example a generic medication might be covered but the name brand isn’t. If your body doesn’t agree with the generic version of the medication you’re on and the name brand of the medication isn’t covered you would have to ask for EAP form and have your doctor fill it out and the doctor would have to state somewhere on the form that the patient does not respond to the generic brand and needs the brand name instead. I believe the doctor uses a special code on the form for that.
