I’m on insurance through my work and it’s not on the formulary which means they won’t even cover a percentage of it. And I’ve heard you can’t qualify for patient assistance if you have insurance, so where does that leave me? My pdoc can’t even appeal it since its not even in like their lowest coverage teir, it’s just not covered at all. I really wanted to try it again since it worked pretty well in the past, but not I don’t think it’s a option at all.
How does that even work? If the average person with schizophrenia can’t afford it and the government or whatever doesn’t help you, than who exactly buys this drug?
Well government medicaid might cover it with pre authorization or something, and I know physicians can get samples and patient assistances works for those without insurance.
Call this allergan. That has a patient assistance program for vraylar. Explain that you have insurance but they wont cover it. See if there’s anyway you can still qualify. It’s worth a try.

I think vraylar would be like $4,500 a year for me through Medicare advantage. I’ve looked into it.
Latuda was cheaper
OMG if you haven’t tried abilify I would recommend it. Great for pos and neg symptoms and I spent ike $37 for a 3 month supply.
Rexulti was cheaper than vraylar too.
In my country we’ve got public health care that covers all antipsychotics free even the new meds. But if you are wealthy like I am you pay for most of the drugs self.
