Another pre-natal vitamin question

I went to fill my Rx yesterday. For a 90 day supply, the brand-name was $49.95 and the generic was $39.95. They are not covered under my insurance plan. I have no issues with generic so I am filling the Rx that way. They said the color and the binding ingredient (holds it together) are different but the active ingredients are the same and thats all that matters.

Either way, it is still cheaper than 3 months of my BCP (which IS covered)so no biggie.

My question:
For those of you on Rx pre-natals, how much are you paying and are they covered or not?

Re: Another pre-natal vitamin question

I am taking PreNate Elite- I think that's what they're called. They were about $78 for a 90 day supply. That was my share- they were $114 total. So I picked up more than half and my insurance got the rest. But I don't mind- I only pay $15 for a $300 asthma inhaler, and I go through one of those a month. I won't be on these forever, but I will be on the inhaler forever, most likely.

I'm taking prescribed CalNate and I fill it every month (like BC) 30 vitamins and it costs me $10 with my insurance.

I'm on Citrical and they are about $35.00 not sure what they are regularly.

Re: Another pre-natal vitamin question

So $40 for 90 days isnt really all that bad is it.
