I hate to bother you with work stuff, but I have a question. What is the name of the bc pill that helps with pmdd and how much is it without insurance?
Apparently, our fabulous insurance (HSA) doesn't have a precription plan.
Giving away FREE crotch extenders -- do I have any takers??
You're probably thinking of Yaz or Yasmin. They are around $65/month and are generally non-formulary on insurance. Most copays range from $35-$50 depending on the plan. If you want to try it, then ask for samples. Gone are the days of $10 bcps. GRRRRR!
Do you have a family planning clinic in town? Maybe you can get it cheaper through them? If your willing to jump through their hoops. But they might not carry it either.
There might be. The problem is that most of them base the help they give on your income. They would laugh at me and send me out the door, I'm sure.
Dh doesn't think that $65 a month is too much to pay, but he's not the one that pays the bills.
I've used family planning clinics when I had no health insurance. Just say you don't qualify then you don't have to fill out the financial paperwork and they will charge you full price. Which is still often cheaper than the regular doctor office. If you have health insurance, they will want that info. It's very unlikely they would laugh you out the door.
Now whether it's worth it to you is another matter. The family planning clinic very close to my house - like 1/2 miles away. I went to for 1 physical and then for 4 depo shots and I refused to every go back there again if I didn't have to. I actually drove 30 miles away to go to a different clinic in another state because I was a nice place to go that generally listened and respected it's patients. And for awhile they had a great program that made it very cheap to go to for infection checks - for me yeast and bacterial. The one near me does not. Of course gas was a lot cheaper back then.....
