Cost of PrEP by insurance provider/plan

[yellowpup]

Hey there, I looked and didn't find a thread discussing this already, please correct me if there already is.

I've been in a behavioral study for the past 6 months and have received PrEP for free, even get paid to be in the study. Come October, that study will be over and I'll be on my own. I'm also leaving my current job that has insurance and moving to a new job that doesn't have insurance. I plan on utilizing the ACA and exchange program to get insurance but would like to go with a provider and plan that covers PrEP and has a low copay.

I wanted to ask those that are getting PrEP through their insurance providers, what is your cost and who are you with?

Thank you

go to the travada website and look for the patient assistance program it can save you $$$ of your co-pays or if your pooor you might get it free.

My current provider is Blue Shield and my companies plan has a very high deductible so even with the assistance, I would have to pay $300/month for 5 months until I reached that deductible. And it resets annually.

i'd still check into it they might help pay part of that high deductible?

Gilead (the drug manufacturer) will cover the first $200/mo of copay. I think my plan covers 80% and that still leaves me with a $60/mo copay.
