Yes. Typically, it is the patient's responsibility to pay. The doctor's office will file the paperwork for you (usually) with the insurance company. But, if the insurance company doesn't pay them, then they will have to get the money from you. If he does get the money from you, then you can go to the insurance company and ask for reimbursement, or wait for the doctor to reimburse, when he finally gets paid from the insurance company.

What health ins covers copays for suboxone?

I have Blue Cross Blue Shield of Mississippi and just found out they cover it. See the funny thing is, doctors are gonna tell you they dont take insurance because they dont make as much money making claims with insurance companies. THEY ARE LIARS!!! If you go to the doctor and they say no, call your insurance company to see. Sometimes the insurance company will reimburse you if the doctor wont take insurance. I have spent thousands of dollars over 3 years of being on suboxone to just find out i could have saved that money!!!!
