I just wanted to share this with the group hoping it might help just one person! I have a high deductible plan with major medical and pharmacy all under a single deductible. Unfortunately the Copay program provides me zero benefit as it doesn’t county towards my deductible. I was persistent and cut out the insurance company and was able to get directly reimbursed my entire deductible ($5500) from Novartis. There is a reimbursement form that is provided by the company (Opus Health?), so you as the individual gets reimbursed directly. It was a huge relief for my family to not have to come up with any money for my direct health needs during 2019. Let me know if I can be of any help or give any guidance to anyone.Cheers

Oh I’ve done all of that. It didn’t help me one bit since my deductible and max out of pocket include both major medical and pharmacy. I qualified for them, but would end up paying the max out of pocket on the medical side (CTs, MRIs, Appointments…etc) versus the pharmacy. Just saying I was able to cut out the middle man (insurance companies) and get paid directly.
