Suboxone

[SarahP16]

About 3 years ago I was treated with suboxone with great results, however the doctor I had to see was not in my HMO plan, and the prescription was very hard to fill because it was very rare and still a "new" drug in the U.S.  At about $600 a month, I couldnt afford to hae treatment any longer. I tapered off, and stayed clean for about 8 months. I have since relapsed, and am back to the percoset addiction that got me there in the 1st place. I have done a little research, and it seems suboxone has really taken flight in the past few years, with many more docotors in San Diego prescribing it. Im wondering if anyone knows if iunsurance companies have started to cover the costs? I have the best plan available at my work through Health Net HMO, and my insurance is $500 a month, so without coverage I dont think I can afford it. If anyone has this insurance, or any information, I would appreciate it! Thank you!

My friends recently got prescribed and I think they pay somewhere between 200-300 a month. Obviously this may not be the same, but that is down greatly from 600 a month that you had to pay. Hopefully you can afford it. It's a true lifesaver. Best of luck sarah.

Hi.  I  live in PA and have been seeing an addiction psychiatrist for a month and a half. I have Blue Cross Insurance.  It does not cover the doctor visits which cost me $100.00 but it cover the Sub. I only pay my $5.00 co-pay every month.  I think it is different for different states.  I ran short of the Subs because my doc only prescribed me 13 for 15 days for some reason and he was in Aruba.  So I called the Pharmacy and they sold me 2 for $13.99..that is without insurance coverage.  I heard that 30 pills were over $400.00 without insurance but mine were only  $7.00/each.

I have heard of peoples insurance covering the Doctor and the script...all or part, I'm not sure. Call your insurance company and find out and then find a doctor thats accepts the insurance.  Good luck.

Its not so much about insurance not covering it, many doctors that are certified for the treatment will not take insurance for it. I had great health care coverage when I did it for a 10 day outpatient detox, but still had to pay cash for it. I paid about 300 hundred for two doctor visits,  8 pills of Subutex, 50 clonidine, 6 Lunesta, and 16 Phenergan. All the meds were included in the cost of the visit. Worked great for me, Been clean since mid-June.

Good Luck
