Not sure this is new, but recently received mailing from Anthem Blue Cross/Blue Shield:
There is something so messed up with this "program", not least of which is the risk of mis-dosing due to inaccurate halving of tablets. Is this a problem with how Pharma companies price their drugs (i.e. 20 mg tablet not 2X cost of 10 mg)? Or how they manufacture, i.e. with a score line on tablet, which would seem stupid. Make all our pills spherical or in liqui-gel form to prevent this insurance company nonsense!
How can a Pharma company even sign up with these clowns to administer their benefit programs?
How do you save money with the Half Tablet program?
Your doctor writes a new prescription for twice the strength. You cut the new pill in half and take only half a pill instead of a whole one. You'll save money every time because your copay or coinsurance will be less.
