Yep, the watered down Health bill is not going to help the people in need.....once more, only the rich need apply. For Shame on you, Congress.

Oooops. Looks like Riverwild beat me to it. It's just as well, though. Anything worth posting is worth posting twice, right?

You should contact your insurance to see if they pay for NuVigil on a lower tier. It is possible that is why ProVigil went to a higher one.

Check and see if prior authorization is needed, and its procedure.

It is really a hideous situation, why they charge so much ..there is really no reason for it, beyond greed.
I bet they are bummed because they wanted to get FDA approval for modafinil for ADHD and it failed. They lost some bucks doing the tests etc.

I learned a long time ago, before I was ever on any prescription medication, to always refill the prescriptions for the man whether he needed more yet or not. I stockpile them in a cool dry place with an even temperature. Now I do it with mine too.

I picked up my provigil scrip yesterday, $16.66 per 200 mg pill U&C. Good thing I have insurance!
