Insurance For Suboxone

Started suboxone recently and have blue cross/blue shield. Got letter from them saying I need to start councelling to stay on there program. They pick up most of cost of subs. I pay for sub dr. visits, he takes some insurance but not bcbs. Does anyone know about mandatory counceling because of insurance companys, how often you HAVE to go? I,m allready attending aa/na meetings. I,ve gotten on suboxone on my own so it,s not a court thing. Wish you all good luck. ## If you're taking it for addiction treatment, then that is a government requirement that your insurance company is just enforcing, but not something they require on their own. I'm not sure how often you would have to go, but there is a chance that your NA may count, if you can provide some type of proof that you attend t...

Hi my name is Carrie and I'm from Hermosa Beach, CA.. I have been taking oral 8mg suboxone for months, as it really helps me and keeps me from popping 40 vicodin or norco's a day. I was on cobra with Blue cross when I began taking it, but it was too expensive. The cobra was 600 a month. Do you know of any independent rx coverage for suboxone? Right now i just paid 400 for 90 of them, and that's a one month supply. I'm better off taking the vicodins. I am disabled, but haven't gotten approved for medical yet. I have no insurance. If you have any suggestions, please help me, best regards. ## I am not sure if there are any assistance plans that cover it, or not. You can try the manufacturers website or contact number, some other programs are pparx.org needymeds.org and ...

I have been taking suboxone for over a year and clean and sober. I tried to get insurance with blue cross but they said not because of my drug history. My parents have been helping me buy my suboxone at $8.00 a piece. I would like to know if anyone knows if there is an insurance company out there that would insure some one on suboxone or am I going to have to go thru my whole life without insurance. Also do you think this is considered a pre-existing disease? ## Rhea, my daughter has Anthem, we live in Ohio, I don't know if that will help, but I've been where you are, pills here are 7.50, drs. visit $200, she pays $20 for the dr. 40 for the pills. I hope this helps but I can't be sure. Good Luck to you. ## Yes, getting insurance, when you're already known to have an addi...

Hi, I been on suboxone for 3 years and I'm on 3 strips a day, my insurance Aetna better health the worst company out there would pay 6 months at a time then my Dr would have to send them papers and this time they don't want to cover it, all they tell me on the phone is Aetnas pharmacy said it's not needed, and the Dr might not be sending the paper work they need, my appointment is Monday and I have not been able to get a hold of my Dr. My appointment cost 110 and I was just seeing does anyone know how much the generic brand is, even if I have to try to go down to 2 a day, or is there another option.

I went to the pharmacy and intended to fill 60 count of suboxone, but they only had 34 to fill at the time and told me that i could get the remainder in 17 days which I thought was weird first off. Then next question was I was charged 50 bucks the first time then charged again when I went to fill the rest of my prescription! Which was only 13 days from the original 17 days they told me! So why was I charged twice for the same script? Ams why was I told to wait 17 days to pick up the remainder of my script? ## As to why you had to wait to get the rest, they most likely ran out. Every pharmacy has a limit on how much they can order and stock of any given controlled substance per month. Once they run out, they are forced to wait, until their new ordering period to order more and these date...

My doctor has recently prescribe 90 suboxone films a month, My insurance will only pay for 60 of them and the pharmacy said unless I have my doctor to write a new script to reduce my films to what the insurance will pay I will have to pay Cash for all of them, Why can't the pharmacist bill insurance for the 60 that they will pay and let me pay cash for the other 30? Has anyone eles had a problem like this? ## Hi Suger1960, Sorry to hear about your predicament. What pharmacy do you go to? It sounds like insurance and the pharmacy are both giving you a hard time, probably to save more money on their end. They'll often choose what payment scenarios work best for them as a profit-driven business. Nevertheless, it would still be a good idea to ask your pharmacy why they can't be ...

right now I'm getting the films and don't like to use them if at all possible I have tried the orange tablets and they seem to help me a lot better I was wondering because right now I have insurance through the ACA or some call it Obama Care Insurance if anyone knows what insurance company covers the tablets instead of the films

Hi, I want to thank a lot of the people on this site, I've been reading a lot of messages and replies and it has helped me through a lot of hard times! But here I am after 3 years and I have no insurance because I have been able to work more now and now I am having trouble paying for my suboxone! I started at 24 mg. And now I'm at 8 mg. And getting ready to step down so I can get off finally and be normal! But with all the problems I have been having with paying for my suboxone I haven't been doing too good, going up and down and not having the support that I need through my program has made my life hectic! And the anxiety has been real hell does anybody know how I can get the suboxone cheaper? I'm afraid of going backwards instead of going forward! ## Hi, Have you told ...

Simple question needed here: How much does either generic Suboxone cost without insurance... Brand name is about $400+ a month. Please advise, anyone who had purchases these new generics W/O insurance. Thanks! ## @RealityVeil, It's always going to depend on the quantity of pills you receive, but from what I've read on a number of sites, 30 sublingual tablets of the generic version can cost about $200-300+ cash at places like CVS or RiteAid. I'd also keep in mind that are coupons out there (such as this one: Rx Savings Card) which can save you up to 15-75% off your Rx, potentially cutting the cost in half. You don't need insurance to use these discount cards, so it's pretty much a win win if you're trying to save money. I hope this helps!

Please tell me why I can't find a physician that provides Suboxone and accepts insurance? ## Because only a limited number of doctors can prescribe Suboxone, they must take special training classes to be allowed to prescribe it. ## It depends what you mean by 'accepts insurance'. I 'accept insurance' in my practice.. I don't accept the insurance as 'total payment', though, because every insurer pays differently-- usually depending on how expensive the insurance policy is. Suboxone patients are treated exactly the same as any of the patients in my general psychiatry practice. One insurer may pay $30, and for the same service another insurer pays $150! So if my charge for the service is $155, the first patient will have to pay an additional $125, and the se...

My son is in rehab and they started him on suboxone one 4md in morning and 8 mg in afternoon.

The price, however, can vary depending on where you purchase them, it is, quite expensive, though and you will not find a cheap price for it. Do you have any type of insurance to help with this?
