another vitamin question

i had a prescription for prenatals called into the pharmacy yesterday but when i got there they said they werent covered under my insurance.
I'm not paying $21 a month for vitamins..thats just ridiculous...

so, i have 2 questions:
1- are your prenatals covered under your insurance?
2-if you are not taking prenatals, what multi-vitamin are you taking and are the pills small? ( i bought cvs womens multivitamin and i just tried to swallow it and gagged twice..i cant get the big pill down)

Re: another vitamin question

mine are $30.00 under my insurance!
ask your doc for samples or ask if there is a good non-script brand he knows.

Re: another vitamin question

mine are covered but only at 1/2 the cost. (so I pay $20 for them).

Re: another vitamin question

Mine are $42 per month Not covered as they are "preventitive" and not actually medicine

Re: another vitamin question

Mine weren't completely covered. I had to pay $30/box! Ask your doctor for samples...mine always asks me if I need any...after I already bought a 3month supply at a time!

Re: another vitamin question

Mine are covered-I pay $10 a month for a 30 day supply. You should ask your Dr for samples and explain your situation. I know there are many girls here who take OTC ones. Good Luck!!

Re: another vitamin question

Mine were like $15-20 per month.

I decided to take OTC, Dr. is OK with it.

Re: another vitamin question

My prenatals were $50 !! I wasn't having that!! My Dr. gave me a ton of free samples for now.

Re: another vitamin question

Mine are covered. I would ask your doctor if he could prescribe a different brand but maybe ask your insurance company first which ones they cover.

Re: another vitamin question

Mine are covered and I still pay $35 a month for them. It's the only one that never made me feel sick so I have stuck with them.

Re: another vitamin question

Mine were covered, I just paid the copay. I haven't found small pills yet although someone just told me that she found a chewable Centrum

Re: another vitamin question

I used otc prenatals and they are fine

I think I pay 10 bucks for 100 pills

Re: another vitamin question

I pay 30.00 for a 1 month supply. I always forget ot ask my doctor for some samples.

Re: another vitamin question

Re: another vitamin question

I have a $15 per box copay. The box is either for 5 or 7 weeks.

Talk to your Dr. and pharmacist or insurance and see if there is something your plan covers or an OTC alternative - although OTC can be expensive as well because you may need additional supplements.

Re: another vitamin question

the ones my Dr wanted me to use were $49 a month. I finally went back to the $10 co pay ones b/c thats just too much for me and she said it was fine.

Re: another vitamin question

Mine are $35 under insurance but I don't feel sick at all with them so its worth it.

Re: another vitamin question

Mine might as well not have been covered, I paid $40 for a month, but my Dr said that any OTC pre-natal is fine, but the pills are kinda big

Re: another vitamin question

mine are $40 a month w/insurance!!

Re: another vitamin question

I called my insurance when I found out mine were about $30.00 a month and they were able to find me a generic that only costs me $9.00 for a 90 day supply!

Re: another vitamin question

Prescrip would be 35 bucks under our insurance per month

I take CVS prenatals throughout DD pg and the beginnng of this one, the pill isn't that bad

I take flinstones now, prenatals were making feel icky. Dr ok'd them thank god!
