Seeking advice on getting my 87 yo father’s scrip for Vascepa covered under Express Scripts. His trigs are perfectly normal but lifelong LDL above 250. Can’t tolerate statins so local doc agreed to put him on V off label as preventive.
He had been on it for a couple years for around $50/month and then in 2022 it increased to $500 per month. Without my knowledge he quit taking it and switched to otc fish oil. His 30 yr dose of benocar for BP suddenly wasn’t enough, routine spikes in BP that led to full cardiology workup. It was then that we discovered he had stopped V. Local doc looked into V early last year and was able to get a temporary supply for $75/m. In his own words, he feels great again and is completely off his BP meds. Received a letter stating that his temporary supply is ending. V is listed as tier 3 and for ST use only. Taking this to his local doc but wondering if anyone else has been down this road w express and off label use.
