Ok so if you are on this drug and with Independent Health this is for you.

This drug is changing in the formulary August 1, 2009. from a tier 2 to a tier 3 (most people do not have any coverage for tier 3 drugs)

What does this mean to you … You will be paying more… (please ask if you can change to simvastatin, pravastatin and lovastatin…ect)

Why was this change made… To save you money … (avg you pay now is $25 month avg IHA pays on that rx is about $250 )

I am able to tell you this about a week or two in advanced, your doctor will not know for about a week and they may never tell you of the change and for the fact you are old and I would like to listen to you bitch about it

If you dont like this well I have no idea who did it :snky:

That is all

well I hope that kids that read this… will know if there “rents” are on this RX and when they here them bitching about it they can ask me or know why

this is a really big move for the company … like savings in the millions just for the rest of the year

I got nasty Cholesterol and i’m on it
thanks

and before sherm makes old jokes F you

5

see if I can help at least one person I think I did good

if you have any issues let me knwo

6

will this actually save money on insurance premiums or will the company just pocket the difference?

we are trying not to have the premiums go up next year … will they …yes … will they go up the 30% they are talking no

this is one of the things we are doing to try and save money

I know my company will not pocket the difference …the difference will go into the “pot” if you will, and that will then lower the premiums across the board …

you also need to know we sell over 80 different products just for health care … all group numbers that end in a “T” we have no control over the costs (like HSBC, amherst schools, dunlop, M&T…so on)

we are also going to start a premium reduction type program that if you are up on your health (ie go to your doc when you should,work out (at home 15 min everyother day ) and you take a few online tests and you then keep doing what you do now or “act” on them by starting to work or make healthy choices you will pay like 5% less then “fat ass guy” next to you that does nothing for his health…

there is a big push to get shit fixed before the 2010 plans come into play … like every company is looking at a 30-35% increase that I am sure the employer will push most on to the customer witch is you guys

Ugh.
I really hope the public option passes and not a shitty watered down version. They will actually have the negotiating power to bring the rates they pay for shit down, and all of the other companies can jump on board. I’m paying more and more for this shit and I don’t even use it.
