Hi, everyone! Sorry I've been gone so long! Life has been very busy! I do think of you and pray for you all the time.
I was wondering if any of you know of any health insurance that covers suboxone? My son just can't seem to get ahead! He works usually 10 hours a day, but with fines, suboxone, and living expenses he can't get ahead! He can't afford health insurance unless he finds one that covers at least some of the expense of suboxone!
Thanks for any help you can give.
My son is doing well as far as the addiction is concerned. A large part of that though I think is because he has a good probation officer who keeps him on his toes. Thank God! Also, his short period of time in the county jail influenced him too. He tells me that he doesn't have any desire. I just hope and pray that lasts!!!! He's been under a LOT of stress lately because his marriage is on the rocks. She hurt him and he wants to leave, but he doesn't want to hurt her because she's begging him to work things out. VERY STRESSFUL!!!! Scares me. And then the financial mess besides! He wasn't working for about 2 months because of the jail time and then his wife lost her job for about 4 or 5 months....letting the bills back up tremendously! Please keep them in your prayers.
Love,
Susan

On Healthcare.gov I found a policy that will cost my son about $225/month. (I wasn't able to get an actual quote for a smoker because they don't post that on the site). There is no deductible to be met for prescriptions, and the co-pay is just $45/month for a month supply. It is through Highmark and the plan is called Flex Blue PPO 1000 Community Blue Plan. With what he was paying for suboxone and his doctor visit per month, he will be paying about the same amount and getting health coverage. This is GREAT because he has been letting some of his health issues go because of money.
Another GREAT thing about it is they can't refuse you for pre-existing!!!!
I hope this helps others in the same predictament. Please verify the information before you take out a plan, but this is what I was told on live chat with Highmark.
