Suboxone Help? Insurance? (Page 3)
(Newest replies first)

Updated

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.

No I did not have to sign up for anything. Just go to suboxone.com and navigate to the discount/coupon. Print it out and take it to the pharmacy. The pharmacy will store it on their system and you'll get 50 dollars off per month. The coupon does have some rules though. It can only be used once every 25 days and it has the prescription has to be written for at least a 15 day supply.

Unfortunately, no all suboxone prescriptions require a prior authorization!

sorry man, but it's the truth. I agree with him. So does everyone who knows the difference, or lack there of, between these doctors and dealers. Money doesn't grow on trees and if there's someone out there that will offer them for less than what you can purchase them for....it's not a bad idea. I want my life back, but life without money isn't really living.

Anthem covered my scripts for buprenorphine between 2005 through 2013. My plan with Anthem changed with the "Affordable Health Care Act". Anthem denied any payment for buprenorphine, effective January 1, 2014. The pharmacist was told they would pay for 16 tablets of Suboxone every 78 days. Being bipolar and on medications to treat it since 1990, I have required buprenorphine to avoid agony and relapse. The FDA approves the drug for the uses prescribed for me and the "Affordable Health Care Act" has "insured" that there be no discrimination between mental health and other health care treatments.

Reading all these posts make me happy, I'm not alone. I am so frustrated with the "doctors" or legal drug dealers. I get mine off the street now. Its cheaper. I have been slowly decreasing myself and plan on locking my door , turning off my phone and going through hell for a few days. I'm sick of this drugs control over my life!!

Did u have to get your doctor to call or sign up? or did u do this yourself? My spouse has had the same job job since we got married (16 years) & his insurance does not cover the subs & he's been on them a long while & now dropped the insurance as it's useless & costly but we had to borrow $700 just to get one month of generics & are not able to do this again, any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi everyone! I have been desperatly searching for a rx program in illinois that would help pay for my suboxone prescription every month. I only take one 2mg film per day so my script runs me aroung 125 dollars per month. If you go to the suboxone website you can print out a $50 dollar off coupon. It's good for an entire year so once your pharmacy enters the coupon into their system you will get $50 dollars off of your prescription every month. Once the coupon expires you can just go to the website and print a new one out. I've been using the coupon for 2 years now and although it doesn't save a whole lot, anything helps. The coupon is for the suboxone films not the tablets.

I think this is just crazy. Y does suboxone cost so much. U would think sence it works so well for people that they would want to make it cheaper cuz it would help stop so much vilence in this world. but instead they would rather have the money IM gana write the f***ing white house or somthing maybe the president will listen if he even gets my letter idk that might sound crazy but im gana try. I dont care what anyone says suboxone has gave me part of my life back now im dependent on the suboxone instead of my drug of choice but i think its better for me than doing the drugs. SUBOXONE JUST MAKES ME FEEL NORMAL.

Ask for generic Subutex aka Buprenorphine.. It is still expensive without insurance, approx $5-6 per 8mg pill at most pharmacies, but better than $11-13 for Suboxone. Suboxone is a joke, it is dangerous and puts too much into your system. I am still expelling orangeness from my body after over a month of being on Bup. I have felt no changes physically or mentally. Same stuff, just cheaper. Tell your doctors what you can or cannot afford.

They do!
but if u read my reply under Kristina
Find a Dr. That has to right opiate dependency treatment credentials (I forgot the name of the cerification they had to have) or you will be denied. I could be paying $40 copay got stuck paying $120 a week the Dr said he had all the certification But I don't know what happened now I'm waiting on an appeal. It took two week of calling back and forth to get anything done just to get denied during that wait time they did a 1-time override paid for my scrpit and got me on sub and back to normal then cut me off!

You have to call call call be a pain in the ass to the Dr so they won't forget I have atnea and it needs prior authorization to pay for script it took 2 weeks for anyone to do anything calling insurance to Dr office back to back making sure they did there job Dr will say yes we sent fax then insurance say we never got, you have to hold these people hand to make sure they do it right! This kind of med isnt one of those "u can miss a day" med! Anyways, this went on 2 week finally insurance got fax had to wait 24-48 hr for review then 3 day waiting they said Dr left the treatment plan blank n had wait few more days just to be denied! Cause Dr didn't have the right creditional but Dr says he does have all that now I'm waiting for appeal but they want to start setting up the assistance program which I'm sure means I've been denied
Aneta also override my script cause it taking forever so they got me on med for week started to get to normal just to cut me off so for the moment I'm paying out of pocket $120 a week methadone was lot cheaper but I owe methadone clinic $800 +$400 month to continue cause of the insurance screwed me over an stopped paying out of nowhere an it took clinic two month to realize. Im a 19 year old girl with a 35hr $10 minimum wage job who just want to start over!

I have been struggling with Suboxone as my drug of choice for almost 3 or 4 years. I do NOT want to take it anymore, I also do NOT want to take any opiods or painkillers anymore. My friend passed away a year ago and quite honestly nobody can get anything anymore anyway. Suboxone has saved me a lot financially but unfortunately I am just hooked on something else I do not want to be on. I've gained at least 40lbs in the past 2-3 years. Be careful choosing a doctor, my first doctor had me on 16mg for several months, way more than I needed. He rarely ever wanted to lower my dose, always worried about me relapsing... and wanted visits 2x a week sometimes. I was forced into a detox/rehab which I stayed at the detox for 7 nights, they did not know what to do with me as I was clean of everything else. They gave me a lot of stuff to just make me sleep. I didn't sweat or go to the bathroom until the last day when the cut me off of whatever they were giving me.. their "cocktail". I was very sick the first few weeks in rehab and left after 65 days at maybe 70% health. They did a horrible job knowing nothing about Subs and treated me like a H addict. I was seeing a doctor, had a prescription, and they ripped me right off of it.
I came back home and was sick for weeks, very depressed, and had no motivation. Eventually I cracked, relapsed, got a job some how due to the motivation, was given health benefits and went to see another Sub doctor who started me at a much lower dose and has been tampering me down for almost 6 months now. 10mg, 8mg, 6mg, 4mg, and now I am on the verge of going down to 2mg a day next visit. I've realized it sucks the first few days, first week maybe when you drop down but it goes away.
NOW I JUST LOST MY JOB DUE TO LAY OFFS DUE TO LACK OF WORK WITH 4 OTHERS ON THE COMPANY PLAN. My doctor visits were cash only and not much so that wasn't a problem, but I KNOW Subs are expensive, about 12-13 each no matter that the MG. I am really afraid and can't believe the horrible timing. My advise to anyone is NEVER start Suboxone, fight it out off of the oxy's, h, whatever else... Subs are just another form of drug and extremely strong despite not being "dangerous" as doctors claim.
I am sorry for the long post but believe me Suboxone is a scam, it's ruined my life the past 3-4 years, I've lost a career over it as I had a doctor say that employers can't check for it no need to show them the script, I didn't, I popped dirty, showed the script and was still let go due to dishonesty. I want off this stuff so bad, I remember detoxing off of 30mg oxy's and after about 3-4 days starting to feel normal again even thought it was hell... imagine that times 100, as Subs come out much slower, they linger in you, make you lazy, uninterested in anything, no appetite, the worst headaches and stomach issues ever, you will run to the toilet 30 seconds after eating anything.
I hope I can finally get off these, but then I know the depression and pain that occurs afterwards... god bless everyone here. Don't start this stuff or at least find a doctor who is recommended and willing to taper you down and not just dope you up.
