so our lovely teamcare just sent me a letter saying that a name brand prescription that a person in my family takes is no longer covered. They now want us to get the generic. The generic does not work the same. Wtf. Thanks teamcare!!!!!

Anything we can do?

Get a different medicine, or pay for it.

Have a doctor write a letter that this name brand medicine is needed for this condition and send it to insurance. My wife faced similar situation and they approved it. Good luck

What generic does not work the same? It is the same exact formula?

Generics have the same active ingredients but the exact formulas can vary. There can be differences for some people. I have taken generics and sometimes feel exactly the same but had others where I could definitely tell a difference.
