Medicare PDP Pricing for Divalproex

[somarco]

New client uses divalproex (Depakote) daily. Ran report on Medicare.gov and was blown away. Had to run it twice to make sure I was doing it right.

Retail cost for 30 day supply $32,000.

PDP copay only $1600 with CHS, or $6200 with First Health.

GoodRx price less than $10.

Can someone explain this to me?

I can explain. If your client uses GoodRx it will be $31,990 cheaper. Let me know if you need anything else...

I will assume that you simply stared at the eclipse too long. The med is not expensive no matter where I look. :-)

User Error is my best guess..........

Which one?............

I "lol'd" at the eclipse joke. I'm wondering if this is indeed user error or if someone's getting really rich

Generic form.

About a dozen different "packages" (bottles, blister packs, etc.). Her notes on dosage were not clear. Waiting on her to email me back on specific quantities.

She is probably busy cleaning cabins rented out for the eclipse.

Data input error compounded by running the report before midnight. Might have had some alcohol before.
