getting meds

I am starting treatment in April.  I have health insurance, but it will change in the middle of the treatments.  Is this going to cause a problem with getting the meds?

  The same thing happened to me at the beginning of treatment, I had to phone the original ins. co. and get the coverage for the DIN in writing for the full course as perscribed by the Doc's (I ADVICE THIS TO ANYONE ANYWAY). Then phone the new co. explain the changing of co's and ask in writing if they cover the DIN for the duration of the treatment.Do this before starting treatment months before. There were no problems it went smoothly, ...I think, maybe, can't recall lol?

The  prices can vary tremendously from one ins. co to another. I would call the new ins. co soon as I find out what company it is to get a quote on new price for the meds.
