Hello. I'm Robin and my husband is bipolar phase 2. He has been treated for it for 5 yrs now and its relatively under control. However we are having a bit of an insurance issue. My husbands insurance is through his work and is a group coverage. They recently changed the insurance. He now has a $1500 copay before they will begin to pay for anything (Which we cannot afford) and no coverage on prescriptions. Just one script is for $900 a month and he has two (Depokote and Abilify). Right now he is not taking any and hasn't for over a month now. He is doing OK right now. Only the mild mood swing. But I know that will not last forever. He's saved what he already has for when that low swing is going to come but we cannot afford to pay for more out of pocket.

He has contacted other companies for private insurance, however they either refuse to cover or are outrageously priced.

We are in Kentucky, and if you have any advice on how we can get insurance please let me know.

 

Thanks and Blessed Be,

 

Robin
