The generic Levothyroxine changed about 6 months ago. I know some people who've had to go on Synthroid after using generic for years.

I'm on Anthem PPO. It's not that I couldn't have the brand names, I'd just have to pay out of pocket. I looked at Lyrica before, and the pay out of pocket price was about the same as upgrading the insurance. It's more of the possible MS or other drugs to treat this horribleness that I worry about.

I'll call Anthem and talk to them about what would happen if I needed a brand name and didn't upgrade.

I also wonder if some of the drugs wouldn't be drugs, but would rather be treatments. Like if I got IVSM, it would be through the hospital, I'd assume I'd pay my percentage instead of the rx co-pay. Is this correct? I saw, for example, Tysabari I'd pay the percentage. But injectables, I'd have to pay the copay.

We don't have Targets with Pharms here. I hate WM and only go there if I have to.
