I used to use the Latuda Savings Card, and it reduced my monthly copay to $15, but that was WITH big name insurance (Aetna). If a person has no insurance, even if they forgive $400 of the 30-day supply, it could be outrageously expensive. I don't know what the final situation would be for a person with no insurance, but I recall my pharmacist telling me that my 30-day supply of Latuda (when I used to take it) had a total cost of over $1,000. I would hope that some other means of reducing that astronomical price is available.

Oh I agree agree agree ! My medication for PsA? Xeljanz... out of pocket it is 4900.00
there is no way I could afford any medication for my PsA if my Rhuemutologist didnt get it pre authorized, I am grateful , But I also think one day my insurance company might just say NO...
Cost of psych meds is another way of population control, Some people think I am crazy when I say that.. but when people cant afford there meds psych or medical and have no choice but to try and live with out, People die because they cant afford blood pressure or heart meds. Diabetics ration insulin.. Oh I can rant for hours and hours !
