GRRR Insurance!
so after 2 years or more on injectable test at 100mg/week, I let my PA know my prescription was due for renewal at my local Harris Teeter pharmacy. When I was on the gel, i was going through my insurance and getting it filled at Walmart. When I switched to injections, I switched to HT pharmacy. Their prices were so good, I hadn't filed the injections on my insurance. Started out paying I think around 50 to 60 bucks for 10 weeks worth of 175mg/week. My trt PA left it that dose so I could play around with my dosing to see what worked best. Found 100mg/week worked best, but he never dropped it. Gives me a cushion just in case.
Anyway, 50 to 60 bucks each script, it went up a bit and I think the last script I filled back in Nov was 85 bucks. Still only like 25 bucks a month. Well PA called it in this time and HT came back with 164 bucks. They said the discount coupons ran out. I asked them to file on my insurance. They called back and said my ins needed a prior authorization, and then would only allow one month worth at a time. Low and behold, they got the pre auth to my insurance, which they promptly denied coverage!
Guess I'll call them tomorrow and find out why. Might have to start buying test on my own. 45 bucks for 10 mil 250mg vials! I hate insurance!
BTW, they also after two years of 10mg Cialis a day, will now only cover 15 20mg tablets for a 3 month supply!Last edited by teedoff; 04-17-2024 at 10:26 PM.

It’s amazing how reliant this is on the sole basis of how the doc codes it. My copay is $15 for generic , I used to pay $15 for a 10ml vial. Then he changed it to 1 ml bottles and jt was $15 for 4(one month). lol now it’s $45 for a 10ml and refills occasionally get denied and he has to recode it

^^^ Very good advice there.
There are 3 loves in my life: my wife, my English mastiffs, and my weightlifting....Man, my wife gets really pissed when I get the 3 confused...

Shop costplusdrugs next time when shopping generics meds like viagra and cialis, cheaper and more convenient than goodrx. I will pay whatever ransom my provider milks me for at the compounding pharmacy (as compared to involving insurance with depot testosterone ), those $100+ vials of test and deca are indeed my stupid tax...however if/when in a bind, I don't feel like a burden when harassing the dr for ancillaries.

Maybe I'm confused. Don't see test on costplusdrugs.
But I did find some goodrx deals. Just a little bit of a hassle having to get prescriptions called into any one of a dozen pharmacies based on which one has the goodrx deals.
Goodrx has test c 10ml 200mg for 54 bucks at cvs and a few other pharmacies are close in cost. My current pharmacy, Harris teeter is 165 on goodrx.
Edit: ah. Forgot i.mentioned the cialis bit, so that was what you were commenting on. Thanks will check that out.Last edited by teedoff; 04-23-2024 at 10:20 AM.
