Does your insurance pay for Miebo? I have wanted to take one of the prescription dry eye drops for inflammation but my insurance won’t cover and they are too pricey!

@lgreg I’m fighting with my insurance to get it approved . When I was deemed disabled and put on Medicaid I got it for free. because my. I couldn’t afford to live on SSI so I took an early out on my pension it put me over to get Medicaid so now I’m back to square one again fighting insurance. It is not cheap $850 for a 3 ml bottle if approved I will get it for free or $39 or I can pay $60 cash thru Miebo Or Bausch and Lomb has a program to get it for $79 plus a one time processing fee of $50.

My insurance does not pay, I desperately needed something because I was on Prednisolone for over a yea my eyes were so dry. From a Sjogren's Facebook page I heard about ImprimisRX an online Pharmacy, my Ophthalmologist was aware of it and said it had a good reputation. For over a year I have gotten their compounded Cyclosporine by mail (which is exactly what Miebo has) for just $55 a month. My MD sent the script into them, then I order one at a time. It has greatly improved my severe dry eyes. Look them up on the internet and ask you Ophthalmologist to create his/her account with them.

I am a Canadian citizen, so or coverage is different. I use restasis, with good results and my insurance does cover these eye drops
