Do any insurance co.s cover Strattera?

[sjohn4]

I just found this board while surfing for insurance companies that will cover prescriptions for Strattera. It was nice to find a place full of people that share my...world? I realized I had ADD in my second year of grad. school (psychology) but didn't want to take meds. Since then I have become the VP of an architectural firm and had three children. On the business end I have more than I can possibly deal with and my children are twins (age 2 today) and a three-week-old (all boys). I finally decided to try Strattera, you know how hard it is to stay focused on one task, with so much going on it is really hard to get everything done during the day. So I have a question. Do you know of any insurance companies with prescription plans that cover Strattera? I am currently covered by Blue Cross Blue Shield, who does not acknowledge ADD/ADHD as a real disorder. Other than that, I would encourage and appreciate any advice or comment anyone has. Thanks.

Hi. Regence covers strattera with a small out of pocket co pay. There are also medicine programs you can apply to to see if you can get your meds at a discount or even for free.

We have BCBS and they paid for my son's Strattera medication. There were different plans, we had the more expensive BCBS plan. They should pay for it. I've never had them reject or not pay for any meds. Might try calling them?

I too, have Blue Cross Blue Shield and they cover most of the cost. The co-pay is still pricey though.
