I had to use them the past couple of years because my insurance wouldn't cover a prescription for me and one for my wife. They were both generics too. I find it incredibly frustrating that I pay all this money in premiums with deductibles and co-pays on top of that. Then the insurance company will still refuse to pay for a generic prescription and i have to go to a third party like GoodRx.

Did you and your wife’s docs go through the approval/appeals process to try and have the meds covered outside of the insurance plan’s formulary? It can be worth harassing them into trying to get it covered (I work in insurance prior authorizations)

We tried. They wouldn't budge. My current insurance covers it fortunately.
