When a generic is no longer available, or not approved yet, most insurances will pay for brand. Today, they have TIERS, meaning you may have to pay a higher copay, if lower tiers's drugs don't work for you. Or you may have to get a prior authorization, meaning your doctor faxes medical necessity for you to have the brand.

Insurances all differ, so you have to contact yours for details.
