[quote=Anonymous]I spoke with BCBS FEP again this morning and the cost for me (20 years in fed on BCBS Basic) is changing from $25 for a month supply to $771.26/month starting January 1.

This is cost-prohibitive for most of us. What are folks doing? My entire Family including unemployed spouse (due to cancer diagnosis) is on my Fed health insurance and I don’t want to lose coverage. I guess I will have to go back to being obese again with heart condition, chronic pain, and pre-diabetic.

I asked the BCBs rep what alternatives are. They they said none. The drug was bumped to Tier 3 across the board. I asked Wegovy what options there are and the rep said none. They are no longer able to provide coupons for savings to federal employees “due to a law which prohibits them from providing coupon savings to any federal or government related insured patients.”

So basically I will have to stop the drug. I can’t believe Feds are being penalized yet again. One reason we work for the Fed for below market salary is because of benefits like health insurance and now those are being taken away.

What are others doing? [/quote]
