the reason is is that prevacid has recently been approved to go over-the-counter. so that's probably one of the reasons why the insurance is not covering it anymore. however though it all depends on the person's insurance. insurances have list of medications that they will pay for called formularies and it's not uncommon for drugs to go on formulary and off of formulary. so as a pharmacist when i get a prescription and i process it through the insurance they usually tell me this type of information. so if you are unsure you can ask us. but once again if you look at the back of your insurance card there is 1-800 member services number. that's for you to call with questions about what's covered what's not what is my copay at a particular location? feel free to call them and ask them exactly why prevacid is no longer covered under your insurance.
why has my insurance stopped covering prevacid?
