i will be taking advantage of this offer again this year. ;)

Has anyone with an HSA tried this?
-
robo, here's a phone number to call them and ask:
"For questions regarding setup, claim transmission, patient eligibility or other issues, call the LoyaltyScript® for EpiPen® program at 800-657-7613 (8:00 AM-8:00 PM EST, Monday-Friday)."
also, i can say this, if you are under the care of an allergist, your allergist/immunologist recieves and keeps a stock of these cards on hand to give out, or just ask. if you are not under the care of an allergist, and have a prescription written by your physician, your pharmacy will also have a supply of these cards on hand, just ask for one, they also give them out...... ;D
hope this helps.

I will be taking advantage of this again. Thank you for posting!
Also, I provided the link to a few friends whose kids need them... They were incredibly grateful.
-
hey capn, thanks for posting and bringing this up again!
i was going to post a reminder for this as a reminder, or for new members that have joined our forum not aware of the offer. thank you for doing so.
just renewed my own prescription and no co-pay. eppy's are expensive even with insurance, but this offer sure makes it nice to take advantage of.
thanks for your post, i appreciate knowing someone could benefit from it!
-
My doctor prescribed one after my latest sting. My insurance covered 100% but the cost was over $800 for the two pack. Crazy

Capn, you make this forum worth gold for non-beeks too.
Good man!!!

77~ 800 $ ? ? ? WOW!!! the most i have seen up here is $400, and if you ask me it's ridiculous. 800$ is just plain crazy!!!
curious though, what happened with your latest sting?
-
I've got to get a couple of these soon. I'm going to Nicaragua on a mission trip to teach beekeeping and would feel more comfortable having them. Especially working with africanized bees. Thanks for posting.
-
This has been extended to 2016.

Dose not do me any good, it only covers for people with Commercial Insurance, since I am on medicaid it dose not cover.

-
thanks zweefer! you beat me to it, it has been extended!
yes ken, sorry, those who are on any federal or state funded program are not eligible, which really is bs, because those are the folks who really cannot afford to fork out the full amount for an eppy, and sometimes cannot afford the reduced payment the federally funded program provides for.
makes no sense to me. give it across the board, regardless. wow, that might cost them some money?
-
I heard a story on the news today about how the epi pens are going to take another price increase.
-
thanks bakers, you are right, i had to google this.........
my eppy prescription is good for another couple months, and i do have insurance but now i am wondering. they are expensive and every year i pay more out of pocket. i am not eligible for the zero dollar co pay.
i read through some of the articles.........it's crazy.......if ya ask me, something about 'price fixing' comes to mind........
PRICE OF EPI PENS GOOGLE NEWS SEARCH (https://www.google.com/search?q=price+of+epi+pens&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8#tbm=nws&q=price+of+epipens)

I read that they went from $100 to $400 and now $600 next year because of one company stop making them.

The price jump in the epi pen is all over the news here. The version I heard was that the patent is on the verge of running out and they are trying to recoup their investment. I am so glad that no one in the family has a severe allergy.
-
Less than 2.00 to make and selling for 600.00? I would say they recouped their investment and a few billion more, over the deaths of some who couldn't buy them.
-
Pharmaceutical Companies in the U S of A seem to have a monopoly on drugs? I thought they (our law makers) was going to open the borders for other countries to compete like Canada? Did they get bought off? Does Canada charge for EPI PENS? Jack

In the For What It's Worth category, here is a petition to sign regarding the price of Epipens. The petition will be delivered to the CEO of Mylan. I don't know if it will do any good, but it only takes a moment to do.

I downloaded the card and used it today. NO copay!!!

Just spoke with Mylan, the company that put out this card. If you have the card from last year, they extended the deadline till March 31, 2017. There will be a new card coming out and they also said there is now a generic version of EpiPen that hit the market Jan 1, 2017.
-
....they also said there is now a generic version of EpiPen that hit the market Jan 1, 20107.
Was that a slip of the finger? A joke? Or meant seriously?
-
Slip of the finger. Should be 2017. It is for real.
