Maybe it's because we're in a big city, but most pharmacies here won't look up alternatives for us. They just say you have to tell me another drug and I can look up whether it's covered or not.

Before I started working in a medical practice and knew anything about this kind of stuff, I would look up my health insurance formulary myself when my doctor Rx something that costs too much. Then I asked my doc to change the medicine to something on that approved list. Unfortunately, our patients don't have the same minset...
