We are always curious to hear what patients are paying for Effer-K at the pharmacy. Since Effer-K 10 mEq and 20 mEq are relatively new drugs, coverage from insurance company varies widely. It takes time to get listed on different formularies and recognized by the insurance companies. Fortunately Effer-K is not an expensive drug and in some cases, the patients insurance co-pay is more than paying outright for Effer-K.
Anyway, we were pleased to hear this week from a U.S. veteran from Sun City, Arizona who takes Effer-K. His health insurance is provided by Tricare, a company that provides health insurance to military personnel and veterans. This patient paid just $9 for a 1 month supply of Effer-K. So it appears that Tricare recognizes the benefit of Effer-K and covers our product for their members. Thanks!
