I used to pay 53$ for my birth control pills. Then the price went up to 67$ a month.
Then I got insurance (woohoo) and they went down to 35$ a month.
4 months ago, they dropped down to 14$ a month.
I got them refilled last night and they cost me 50$!!!!!
WTF is up with that?
I checked a current listing from the insurance company and they are still a Class 3 medication, so that hasn't changed. (I'm honestly surprised they cover it at all....) Class 1 and 2 are the cheapest, class 3 and 4 are the most expensive with bluecross/blueshield. But since it hasn't jumped classes that I can recall, I don't understand the fluctation in pricing this year.
No real generic available for the Loestrin 24fe yet that I can find, so I'm thinking about asking the ob/gyn to put me back on a traditional 21/7 pack (instead of the 24/4 pack I'm on now) of something with a generic cuz I can't afford all the pills I have to take a month now.
