They kicked some MAJOR ass in sticking it to J&J, causing Wyeth to fold the OC biz, and becoming a maja' playa' that physicians actually knew and remembered. But you are a new rep selling...Trelstar? You could do better. If you were not so limited by your CC diploma.
reps did nothing but drop samples and cater lunches...as usual. the NAM's did the selling to the insurance companies and these companies put generic OC's as 1st tier; Oh I am sorry...branded generics.
What, were you in grade school in 2001? The above statement is really logical except that insurance companies were not covering oral contraceptives during those years. Not brand, not generic. NONE! If you were in need of O.C.'s, it was cash, check, or credit card. Got any other bright elucidations?

Completely false statement. Google "Aetna US Healthcare Formulary 2001". On page 43 - generic - $5, branded on formulary- $10, non-formulary - $25.
You must be losing it, grandpa!
To the whippersnapper,
Before 2000, five states mandated by law that insurance plans must cover O.C.'s of any kind. Eight more states were added by 2001. So Watson may have lobbied state governments to require coverage; perhaps the NAM's sold them. The companies offered coverage in states where they were required by law; in most states O.C.'s were not covered because the insurance companies could get away with not offering them. So that makes a third of the states covered by 2002 IF someone had prescription drug coverage.
Most OBGYN's would not prescribe "branded" generics first line. But those thousands of $$ for lunches per month changed that. Sure, most women would risk pregnancy to save $5.
same with the Prudential Formulary 2001. They are all there - nor QD, necon, zovia, low ogestrel. Yes, the old man IS losin' it.
