[quote=Anonymous]When I had MDIPA, my meds for IVF (all injectables- gonal f, menupur, ganirelix, hcg; vaginal inserts; oral) cost about $360. With Aetna (hmo fed open access, 50%IVF co-pay), the same amount of meds cost a little over $4600 which was about $1000 cheaper than paying out-of-pocket. Of course, $4600 is a lot more than $360, but what can you do when you need the meds. I wasn't able to get authorization for meds from Aetna for about two and a half weeks despite calling them several times. The key is to ask your doc's office to call the authorization department directly and ask that they expedite it if you need your meds immediately. I got authorization for meds ONE day after my doc's office called Aetna. If you need meds immediately, your doc's office can work wonders. . . or at least mine did.[/quote]
