Title: Imitex Vials
Post by chewy on Jun 10^th, 2006, 9:11pm

This has to be a mistake.

Pharmacist ran it through the system and her jaw hit the floor. LOL

My co-Pay shows $20.00 for 20 vials.

Out of pocket would have been ....ready for this?........

$7548.00

Well then. My insurance company is going to hate me then. LOL

For 20 vials my out of pocket would be ~$1,400

My co-pay is ~$15/vial.

Yea, I'd say your pharmacy made a mistake.

$377.4 /vial? Doubt it.

I'll bet they tagged each vial as a 5 vial pkg. Then it would work out to ~$75/vial which is about right.

$20 co-pay for 20 vials, man, I wish I had your insurance ;;D

This sounds most likely, unless Chewy is sitting there with 100 individual vials....if this is the case, for a 20 buck co pay, some unlucky sob is going to be in BIG trouble.

Private insurance. No HMO. No bean counters making medical needs decisions.

Without insurance, I'd pay $478.00 for 5. My co-pay is $98.00. I stock up, 30 vials per month. My insurance doesn't limit me on vials, it does on nasal spray and the stat dose.

Then sometimes people leave theirs here...

I remember when I used to have a copay of $10.00 no matter how many my doc gave me. 15 nasal sprays, 30 pills... that was before stat-dose.

At least I have insurance, and I'm damn lucky to have it.

Thats $1912.00 for 20. That makes sense.

20 vials at $7548 would be $1887 for 5. Thought that was a little high!
