ya, I only pay my copay every month for my visit ($20), and $15 for the pills at a local pharmacy. I went to the appt expecting to pay the full amount for the doctors visit ,because my friend has the same insurance, and went for the exact same thing...phen/weightloss, and had to pay more than just the copay. But to my surprise....it only cost me $20. I later found out that everyone now pays the basic $20 copay because it's generally filed to insurance as fertility concerns. If you are over weight, you aren't as fertile. So if you get prescribed phen, and get your weight down, you will naturally become for fertile. My doctor prescribes phen very often, however he isn't a sleezeball in the slightest. Hes very big on preventative care....and obesity contributes to tons of health problems later on down the road, so he sees phen as a preventative measure to get the weight off and minimize the odds of further health issues in the future. Hope you can understand what I'm trying to say....my baby kept me up all night, so I"m not quite 100% today!
