Scott-As a pharmacist, I can tell you exactly what insurance companies are interested in-the most "bang" for the lowest "buck". When we bill online for medications, the diagnosis is never asked-only does the drug in question reside in that insurance company's specific formulary. If it doesn't (another way to read that is "too expensive" for the desired patient outcome), then the doctor has to fill out paperwork getting special authorization-its normally given, but the imposition of additional paperwork is incentive for staying within the scope of the formulary.
To summarize, the real question is if the drug is in the insurance company's formulary. Period. Roger
