I should clarify: I only pay for the office visits OOP. The insurance does pay for my RX, luckily. For how long after pregnancy I’m not sure, though. I do know that they will not pay for Subutex after 6wks post-partum and I will have to switch back to Suboxone, but that’s ok. My Sub doc told me I should just stay with their practice because another one would probably not be willing to accept me due to being pregnant. I need to get on that and start calling around for after baby.
Really, I’m supposed to stay on Sub long-term for pain management due to collapsed vertebrae in my back. Which is why I was prescribed Vics in the first place and got addicted. And, I actually graduated to being a pain management case and not an addiction case about 6 months before I got pregnant and was on Subutex already. But, that’s a whole other issue. UGH!
Thanks for listening to me ramble…..it really does help to get things out sometimes
