If your child’s medication is too expensive or your insurance will not cover it, we recommend the following:
Inquire about non-coverage reasons: Contact your insurance company at the number listed on the back of your insurance card to understand why the medication is not covered.
Seek prior authorization: Some medications require a form from your provider explaining why the medication is medically necessary before insurance will approve coverage. Confirm with your insurance company if this is a necessary next step.
Explore discounts and assistance programs: You can search for discounts, coupons, and patient assistance programs online to help cover medication costs.
If you would like to discuss alternative medications that are equally effective but less expensive or covered by your insurance, reach out to your Clarity Pediatrics pediatrician via our secure telehealth platform.
