I am not sure if this is the correct spot for this post, but here goes. My insurance company is at it again. I have been on BCP since March. And haven't had problems with them covering me until now. I was set to order my next refill this week. I called in to Walgreens as normal. I find out that my insurance has denied the prescription. WTH??? I just don't get it. Can they do this all of a sudden?? So what I would like to know is...has anyone had this happen before? Also, I am St. Louis and I guess I need a better insurance plan. Anyone have a good plan? Thank you for your help. Very much appreciated.

Simillar thing happened to me in August. Apparently my insurance company will not foot their percentage for the bcp until you are 2/3 through your prescription. In my case, I had to wait an extra week, which wasn't an issue because i wasn't finished my current package, but not like I wanted to go back to the pharmacy. I only found this out, after I got home, thinking they filled it along with another prescription, only to find the other 2. Go figure. I spoke to the pharmist and she explained why this happened. This maybe the case with your insurance company too.

I have Goldenrule thru United Healthcare right now. I was down to my last pill when they did this to me.

Have you tried finding out if your area has a gov. program that gives out bcps? If you qualify you can sign up for a program like I did- I get mine for free now.

otherwise, perhaps you can find a bcp that you can get on discount from somewhere? like- the rxoutreach site that I mentioned in another post, has a few bcps on their list- but not progesterone only like mine is- otherwise I might be getting it from them.

I'm getting there!

I was having some sort of the same issue. I was paying $60 a month for bc pills. Which in fact I was not using it for a contraceptive, just to regulate my cycle due to my PCOS. I went back yesterday, because I can not afford $60 [just to start my period] and they rewrote my prescription with the DX of PCOS. Which in turn possibly will lower the cost. I have yet to fill it, but hopefully it works!
