It's our problem and the medication is available but have to pay the full retail cost. If any of you or your family members are on medications for specific and serious conditions such as cardiovascular / diabetes / neuro conditions, get ready. My physician told me that she couldn't do anything about the decisions of the insurance company. Not sure if ALPA can help.
You might take a look at Goodrx.com. I *think* they are a reputable operation. They pointed me at Healthwarehouse.com where generic Crestor is a whole lot cheaper than Express Scripts. Obviously it will depend on what your looking for. Good luck.
