What if my insurance denies my medication?

Nine times out of ten it's a prior-authorization or step-therapy speed bump, not an actual no. Your prescriber can file the prior auth (we do these weekly), switch you to a covered medication in the same class, or appeal with clinical justification.

And here's the pressure release: most generic psychiatric medications cost under $15 cash with a GoodRx coupon, so a denial should never mean going without while the paperwork grinds. Tell your care team the day the pharmacy flags it. The fight is ours to have, not yours.
