So I went to pick up my birth control pills today (the new Seasonale three-month pack), expecting a $27 co-pay like last time ($9/month). Except this time, it’s $36. Huh? The pharmacist said that Tricare only covers THREE months of pills (30 pills/month for 90 total pills) so they have to charge me for four months since there are 91 pills. I am not kidding. I am being charged $9 for (basically) the sugar pills—or, actually, one of the seven sugar pills. This has to be a new thing since two months ago they weren’t doing this (and of course, the stupid pharmicist wouldn’t let me get a year’s worth at one time like I wanted). But this is truly ASININE. So now I have to call Tricare to see what the hell is up and if there’s any way around it (other than going to month-at-a-time pills instead of the three-month-at-a-time pills). I hate this. I hate being annoying with Tricare since they just paid $4000 for my surgery. And I know it’s only $9, but it’s the principle of the thing. Stay tuned.
