My insurance co. just sent me a letter pertaining to my Rx plan and
th fact that Zetia has been moved up one class, to cost me more in the future.
They suggested that I switch to Lipitor, or other meds (all statins) that would be in the generic, or the less costly classification.
I switched from Lipitor to Zetia about 3 1/2 yrs ago to get away from statins because they exacerbate my PN symptoms, and give me back/shoulder and kidney area pains.
I've had to pay a higher price than the generics, for this need.
But now its going to be even more expensive.
Is there any info regarding why my ins co would do this? I'm not about to go back to statins. I'll pay the increased cost if necessary, but why would they be doing this?
