Carol,
Most prescription assistance programs aren't available if we have insurance. Still, it can be worth it to check. The best place to look is www.pparx.org.
Is that price from a mail order or local pharmacy? Whichever it is, their prices are FAR too high. That's over $100 per tablet, and the average price for Rexpax, 40 mg, is just under $25 per tablet.
Hope this helps!

You should go directly to the Pfizer website, fill out a patient assitance application and send in a letter with it explaining your circumstaneces. I have done that before and they approved me. Good luck! Also, I would fight your insurance company. Teri may be able to give you some pointers on how to do this.
