Jess. My wife's hands are not tied by her employer . She has no problem prescribing generic meds .
When it comes to Brand CKD drugs she often faces difficulty getting the drug for her patient because the insurers set up PA ( prior approval ) hurdles. ie document your patient has failed on all these drugs ...MMF , Benny etc ( as example ) first . Then if the brand drug is finally approved , the patient copay is often so high they can't afford it anyway . ...exception being when the drug manufacturer has programs in place to assist the patients ...usually in the first year or two of launch,
