My health care provided wanted me to get zytiga from their specialty pharmacy but when my insurance provider got involved, the insurer redirected the prescription to my local cvs pharmacy. It doesn't have a price on it, and it comes at no cost.

We are retired professors and have original Medicare and a BCBS supplement provided through our long-time employer, Indiana University. When Dr. Kwon ordered Zytiga for my husband in January 2020, he sent the prescription to the Mayo Specialty Pharmacy in Rochester. It has been coming to our home since then directly from that pharmacy. It just depends on your insurance provider and the extent to which the evil PBMs are involved in that particular medication.
