I saw this pricing chart for Rytary from my insurance company this morning. It assumes 3 doses/day. Of course, everyone's insurance reimbursement will be different, but I listed the List Price and what it would cost me for a 90 day supply.
23.75/95mg ........... $551 ............. $140 36.25/145mg..... .....$551 ..............$140 48.75/195mg ...........$551..............$140 61.25/245mg............$693............. $140 |

If you've filled a prescription, please post what coverage tier your insurance company used. My company is Cigna and I can't get an answer from them without my drug store filing a claim, which it won't do without a prescription.
Thanks for your help. |

Horizon BC/BS
It's Tier 3 I haven't actually filled a prescription as I don't need this drug. However, Horizon uses MyPrime for its drug mail order and it's all done online so I can process an order to see the cost (it will not go thru without the prescription, obviously). In addition, everyone's plan will have different coverage. There are many doses for Rytary, so I used an example that you can see below. This is copied from the drug processing site. Rytary 36.25-145MG Capsule Extended Release / 3 per day / 90 day Total Cost: $ 551 Plan Paid: -$ 411 Your Cost: $ 140 Generic: Generic equivalent not available Covered, Tier 3 |

As with C/L, the dosing will end up being somewhat different for each person. However, if you are asking me if the dosing is 3 capsules for each dose, 3 times per day, then the answer is absolutely not. The starting dose is normally 3 capsules total per day. One capsule for each dose. You can eventually go up to 5 doses per day (1 capsule 5 times per day). To increase strength you would take higher mg doses, but not increase the frequency.

No problem. I have a script for 810 capsules which is 3x3 per day at the lower 95 dose for a 3 month period. I can't see how my insurance will approve such a high volume. Going to call them today. Getting more confused here.
