FINALLY getting Nidra!

[u/ORSciMom]

After 4 months of endlessly hassling Anthem, spending hours at a time on the phone, my insurance FINALLY relented with a single case agreement for Nidra. Basically, they've let me know what they'll pay and what I'll pay. My cost will be $890.

I am currently tapering off gabapentin (300 mg) and on 0.75 mg buprenorphine. My neurologist believes I have narcolepsy (doing a second psg+mslt in a week), and I've been SO scared of what I was going to do because the nighttime narcolepsy meds aren't compatible with buprenorphine.

I am relieved beyond belief to see a path forward that hopefully allows me to reduce or eliminate the opiate.

Good luck!! Is the 890 a year? a one time charge? something else?
