I have blue cross health insurance.... Can't remember what our new prescription plan is( used to have express scripts), but it wouldn't help anyone,anyway, unless you are a PA state employee...

I did a formulary check today through our blue cross ins and it came back with $40 copay. I ordered a two pack which will hopefully come in tomorrow.  Just have to get an rx!

Yes ma'am! $36 copay, but $25 with the coupon. Didn't look into the 3 month supply through CVS yet. What region of the state are you in, yelloww?

I was just reading about mylan not being too happy about the new device.  They should have put a bit more thought into the changes they made a few years ago and made both improvements in safety and userfriendliness. 
shame on them for trying to block this new device with lawsuits etc.

Just paid $150 (with insurance) to get an Epi-pen duo pack re-filled.  We are going to the allergist - research hospital (DS is a control in a study) on Friday.  I will ask for a script then and get their thoughts on the device.  I'm excited to see it!
Have a blessed day!

I thought I could click on Savings on the webpage and print the coupon.  I signed in with name etc awhile back, but never got a coupon.  How did you all get yours?

UGH!!  having trouble getting the coupon.  I called the pharmacy to see how much the copay is...$120, so I'll be tracking one down.  I could drive to dr office and get one (the rep was there yesterday) but I don't really have time to do that.

After signing in I clicked on 'savings', I believe.  You can print it out or text it to your phone.  I could not get the text option to work...

now i see what I did wrong.  It asks some basic questions including when your current auto injector expires.  i didn't fill that part out.  went back and filled out ALL the questions and then was prompted to download or text the coupon.  Yeah!  off to CVS to get it.  My ds going to be so excited!

I also can't say enough about how wonderful this is for DS1 to carry! The epipen was almost as wide as he was and considerably thicker than this device.  He wears a onespot allergy belt facing his backside- his shirt would ride up over the epipen and kind of rest on it.  This is not issue with auvi-q.  He also no longer complains in the car when we go further than a few blocks. I also think the belts will last longer...they barely have to stretch to accommodate the auvi-q, so there will be less wear along the edges of it (currently an issue with epi pen).
  I'm thinking I might have DS2 start carrying the trainer around...it may take him longer to earn my trust for self carrying- he's my wild child, lol!
