The entire BCBS association? Google says that the combined 36 BCBS companies account for 106M people in the US.

Re BCBS, just got renewal and this was first time it was filled immediately and not delayed/referred back. I’m with BCBS of Illinois. Not happy it’s going to cost me $500 for 3 mth supply, but I’m in high deductible plan so it is what it is.

Raf - Great news. Was wondering if you could help me on another question. I've been keeping a spreadsheet of the weekly scripts reported by Sam81 and now you since Sept 2018. Around April of last year, Sam81 started reporting "normalized" scripts. For several weeks he gave us numbers based on the "old way" and the new "normalized" way.

Based on the weeks when Sam81 reported scripts by both methods, the difference between the old method and normalized for NRx was typically about 1.5 (i.e., normalized were higher by a factor of 1.5) and the difference for Refills was about 1.12 (normalized were higher by a factor or 1.12).

Is that essentially the recipe? (wanting to get all the weeks on a normalized basis)

Thx for any help

I assume/hope this will give a real boost to script growth for the rest of the year.

Additional DD from TerraPharma on BCBS Michigan:

cont. BCBSM PA removed, No generic equivalent. For comparison, other classes ie PCSK9 like Praluent, Repatha still hitting roadblocks with mostly Tier 4 and PA.
