We have Coventry and it covers Strattera. I only pay $4. Thank goodness.

We have Blue Cross and it covers the bulk of it. Each insurance plan is different. Aetna probably has a customer service number where you could inquire and find out the benefit for your specific plan.

I agree all insurance plans are different. We have an HMO and the neurologist prescribing the strattera for our son had to fill out a form and send it into the ins. company to get approval for the new med. It was not considered to be a problem since my son also has tics and the stimulants made them worse. Our HMO approved the strattera but at a higher co-payment than usual. So something to watch out for. Our usual co-payment is $20 but it was $35 for the strattera because it is so new it is not on their formulary yet. Hopefully this co-payment will go down in time.

I have Aetna and they charge $30. for copay. I tried to get a three month prescription so that possible the copay would stay at $30 but yet I'd get 90 pills as opposed to 30 pills. Didn't work...they will only pay for prescription of 30 days in length.
