Re: Should I Sue Pharmacy for My Bent Penis?

You urologist has some culpability if you were not shown how to do the injections in the office, including having you do an actual injection. If that had happened you would have known that was the wrong size needle. (When I was shown by my urologist, it was at an 8 am appointment so that in the even...

Re: insurance

The thing that I like about my compounder is that they give vials with dry tri-mix that I add the sodium chloride (supplied) to. Although the packages contain a use by date, I don't believe it can go bad. That is cool! Actually, as I understand it, that is how Caverject is supplied. It's in powder ...

Re: insurance

I believe Avela charges $80 for 10 ml of Trimix and Caremark billed me $40 for my co-pay. Not a major difference in net cost to me. However, since Trimix has become less effective, I will be using my VED/tension band more often - no cost at all. Have you had your prescription refilled recently? It ...

Re: insurance

The point of my reply was that 4, 2ml vials for $110 isn't too bad if you don't have insurance. Thank you for pointing that out. I use only 0.06 mL per dose, so four2 mL vials would expire before I would use them up. I believe that a big part of the price is the cost for compounding the medication....

Re: insurance

Spartan, I use Community Clinical Pharmacy located near Dobson and Southern in the Banner Desert hospital complex. I think that's what it's called now. Phone is: (480) 969-0600. I see you're in Phoenix, so it should be easy to get there. No problem finding a pharmacy to fill the Rx. Problem is with...

Re: Compounded drugs no longer covered by my insurance

Like Springer, last week I had my Trimix refilled by Avella Pharmacy and was advised that my insurance would no longer cover the cost. My cost went from $10 copay to $92 self-pay for 4 mL. I'm certainly willing to self-pay for Trimix just to get it. Interesting that Express Scripts probably makes no...

How many have/do not have insurance coverage for Trimix or B

I'm curious to know how many of us have insurance that covers our Trimix. Is there a trend in denial of coverage as cited by Springer?

For me, I am on a Medicare Part D prescription plan provided by my pension plan. It is administered by Express Scripts. I have a $10 copay for two 2ml vials.

Re: Compounding Pharmacist

I also order from Avella. I get five 2 ml vials shipped in dry ice to New Jersey. I believe the cost is $78 plus $10 shipping. My co-pay is $40. Shipping time is two days. My last order was double strength. That's reasonable. They've been good for me. It's nice having them in the neighborhood! I ge...

Re: Compounding Pharmacist

Avella Specialty Pharmacy www.avella.com is near my home. They are mostly in Arizona, but adding other locations. They may do shipping. I pay $10 copay for 4 ml. I believe that insurance pays $82.
