JenP, I ran into something similar with my Cymbalta prescription(s) until I asked my doctor if we couldn't get the prescription dose with multiples of the smaller pill and stick to one size for a lower total cost. Who could have guessed that psychiatrists aren't intuitive with math and accounting?

If you turn out to need the medication after all, it looks like that approach would have saved you $25/month with UHC, and might at least simplify things with your new insurer.
