Da Real BucK 2 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Will $3000 be enough to pay for one course of accutane? Also, do you think it will be cheaper to get insurance and pay the deductible? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Deadbeat007 0 Share Posted August 7, 2008 I'm in the US, but with my insurance, derm visits are only $15, and blood tests are free. I haven't gotten Accutane yet, but I think it'll be rather cheap since the insurance covers it. I'm sorry you have to pay so much. =[ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yup, I'm in New Zealand and the govt subsidises most things for us as well...accutane is free under dermatologist prescription, even without insurance (I ended up paying about $100 for everything, including derm visits and full accutane prescription). I can't believe the amount some of you have to pay - that really sucks balls Quote Link to post Share on other sites

USA is a rip off for medical care! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pinkshoeaddict 0 Share Posted August 8, 2008 An individual health insurance plan with a low deductible ($500 is low these days), prescription drug coverage, blood test coverage, and derm coverage is going to be insanely expensive. I am from Florida and have never been on an insurance plan that covers derm visits. I am not sure whether it's because this is skin cancer central or what, but it's just accepted that we're not going to get coverage. It does vary by state though so you might be able to find something. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

anabel5 0 Share Posted August 8, 2008 HOLY CRAP!!! $3000?! Where do you guys live? Yea, we pay wayyy too much here in the US, ESPECIALLY if you don't have healthcare. I'd say to look into gettin an insurance. I am sure the premium and the co pays may be cheaper. I wouldn't even have the $3000 to spend...luckily my boss provides insurance...but that's only while I work here. If not I am S.O.L. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Platinum007 0 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Will $3000 be enough to pay for one course of accutane? Also, do you think it will be cheaper to get insurance and pay the deductible? My insurance was $20 per visit, $8 for blood work, $10 for generic accutane and $10 for birth control pills. $300 yearly copay. Our insurance is through my husband's work and I don't know how much we pay per month and how much the company pays. Sorry, wish I could be more help. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Platinum007 0 Share Posted August 10, 2008 it costed me 25 bucks for my whole 6 months get health care its cheaper to have that for 6 months then to spend three grand on pills that may or may not work out for you Hey, Matt! I grew up in Lancaster! On J-4. near El Dorado elementary. I was there for the first space shuttle tests. The 70's and 80's were a great time to be there. Don't know much about it now. I drove to our old home and, sheesh, what a pit. My old neighborhood went to pot, for sure. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
