When I checked to see if there was an error, I found that the Brand was no longer on the "preferred" list. This means we are economically forced to accept the generic,by any manufacturer chosen by the pharmacy (usually by the lowest cost price currently available),with possibly unreliable therapeutic effect.Who is the guarantor that ALL generics are therapeutically effective ? Not the FDA, who recalls drugs long after the "bad" ones are on the market.
Why are MBA's dictating what doctors can order and pharmacists dispense,and how does the consumer know that AWP is the REAL cost basis for the health plan charge ? Who is out there to protect our interests ?

That being said, each plan has different rules. Contact your customer service rep to see if having the doctor write "Brand Necessary" on the prescription would bring it back to the preferred level. If not, ask for the appeals process. That will take some time back and forth, but you could possibly get it back to the preferred level that way as well. Another option is, if you found a particular generic brand that worked for her, have your doctor write a prescription for the medication and specify the manufacturer you want, along with "DAW" (dispense as written) At that point, they have to obtain that generic for you.
Hope this helps.
