When I asked about getting the prescription in liquid form she said that my insurance would likely not cover it. She said that liquid medications are intended for children, but since adults can swallow pills, then that is the only form of medication they will cover. Has anyone had their insurance company deny liquid form of Lexapro? I've read that there is some pushback and denial if you are asking for a combination of pills and liquid, but was curious if anyone was denied when they just asked for liquid form? While I am not opposed to creating my own liquid solution with saline, getting it in liquid form from an actual pharmacy seems much more controlled. Should I press my provider to write this prescription anyway when I am at that point? It’s not very much. GoodRx has it for under $20 right now, and it lasts me a long time as I’m on such a low dose.
