Spring is here and allergy season is in full bloom!
A common complaint from allergy sufferers is that their
insurance often does not cover allergy medication.
CVS Pharmacist Kristen
Wilmot says, "A lot of people just want an over-the-counter solution, but
others who have tried all the OTC medicines will come in with a prescription
for Allegra, let's say, and chances are, their insurance company doesn't want
to cover it. What I've found is that insurance companies generally want them to
use over-the-counter Claritin.
If they have used over-the-counter Claritin, and
if their doctor makes the call, they may be able to get a prior authorization
if their doctor explains that the OTC medicine is not working. But sometimes
the insurance companies won't pay for it.
A lot of the prescription medications are very expensive, and the insurance companies don't want to pay because they
don't see allergies as a severe problem. I don't think they see allergies as
the horrible thing that many people experience."
