I have AnthemBCBS. My Creon costs $647 per refill. I have no enzymes ass my pancreas is non functioning. I filled an appeal but have yet to back. My deductible is also ass yours. I guess I’m stuck too. It took 5 doc and 3 years before EPI was identified. I had to insist on the blood draw that covers EPI. Sad

Seems EPI isn't a go-to diagnosis. I had an MRI, CT Scan, Blood work and doctor told me "there is one final test we can do by taking a tool sample", which is when my diagnosis happened. I had a vague discomfort under right ribs that wasn't constant, daily or even weekly, but I knew something was wrong and persisted.

Anthem BCBC hmo ppo
I’ve been waiting to see if Abbvie can help me with some of the cost. We are sad, yes we are. Thanks for sharing. My appeal was denied. Donut hole and was told I needed prior authorization. Hang in there.
