Some of my meds are generic, some are not. Lyrica, for example isn't available yet in generic. I was taking Copaxone ($100 monthly co pay), and as far as I know, none of the DMDs are available in generic.
I believe in CA (I live here too) you should be able to receive non-generic drugs when none are available. I'm not sure if it is a law, or what. But that is my understanding. I think all I needed was the drs recommendation of the med. I have Anthem Blue Cross - HMO (a very good plan) and that's how they operate. Your insurance provider should be able to tell you what will be covered, but I know how hard it is to get a straight answer.
Good luck!
