Does Blue Cross Blue Shield cover abilify mood stabalizer?

Answer 1

Nearly all health plans cover prescription drugs that are approved by the FDA. The particular drug that you have listed, however, is an expensive, anti-psychotic medication. The plan may require you to get a pre-approval, before the plan will pay for it. The plan may also ask that your doctor verify that you still need the drug after a few months.

If your plan will not pay for it and your doctor feels strongly that you would benefit from it, you can purchase it yourself or apply to the drug maker for a discount. There is no generic of Abilify, so there is not a cheaper version of it from another maker.
