FET Medications

My doctor's office faxed my prescriptions to the pharmacy I used last IVF cycle, Metro Drugs.  I thought it would be cheapest since it was last time BUT I'm glad I kept checking.  Freedom Pharmacy is the Express Scripts recommended specialty pharmacy that you have to use with my insurance and special order drugs.  In my mind, everything that was not a "fertility drug" should be covered under my insurance because they are pregnancy support drugs so I made an extra effort and it paid off.

So let's review the medication needed and then compare costs between Metro Drugs and Freedom Pharmacy:

Drugs                                    Metro                                    Freedom
Crinone 8%                            $528.00                                 $60.00 co-pay (covered, no generic)
Lupron (Leuprolide generic)    $225.00                                 $199.00 (not covered by insurance)
Prednisone                              $2.68                                     $.78 (covered)
Estrodial Tablets                     $0.00                                     $0.00 (covered)
Doxycycline                            $5.03                                     $0.00 (covered)
Climara Patches                      $60.00                                   $60.00 (covered)
Monoject Syringes                  $0.00                                     $0.00 (covered)
Total                                      $820.71                                 $319.78

So my extra effort saved us $500.93 :)

I start my Lupron injections on Friday and will continue taking them for what seems like FOREVER!
