Wow that's impressive, I think I'll start taking it if it's free to me and stop worrying about trying to eat fish every week

Just got off the phone with Vascepa rep, Rosie Sanfelice, who stopped by my office about a month ago. She confirms that Tier 2 conversion is happening very quickly and rattled off a list of companies that are converted to Tier 2. She also told me that at least one general practitioner in my building requested Vascepa samples and that word is getting out among them about V as well. She told me that in my area of Chicago, the new script growth was over 200% from 3/15 to 3/22!!

According to this rep, word from her bosses is that the launch is going "even better than expected". For what it's worth...........

Where did you find that data? Relatively small number of companies in any case - we need to start collecting Tier 2 or better for the major health insurers like Aetna and Blue Cross/Blue Shield (currently Tier 3).

Found my own (old) post while googling "Vascepa tier drugs", was the 5th link on the page ;-) And good for me too, seeing I switched from UHC to Aetna the other day! Not a coincidence, more like serendipity....as soon as the ANCHOR indication is approved, that is....
