I did see her post, but Concerta is made by a different manufacturer (I think?) so I wasn't sure. Their website isn't super clear, just says you need insurance. I'm just going to have the pharmacy run it and see.
Sorry, I could have sworn it said Vynnase. Clearly need more coffee...
My H is on Concerta and has had the same problems. He did finally get it filled at a different pharmacy with a different dosage, but this was now a few weeks ago and I'm sure he's going to have the same problem again soon. I do not understand what the issue is and why they haven't started producing more yet!

When I go to concerta’s site it has a lot of info for the savings card that automatically pops up for me.
Eligible patients using commercial or private insurance can save on out-of-pocket costs for CONCERTA®. Eligible patients pay an initial $4 per fill at participating retail pharmacies and receive up to $150 off their out-of-pocket prescription costs, with a maximum program benefit of $1,800 or 12 fills per calendar year, whichever comes first. Not valid for patients using Medicare, Medicaid, or other government-funded programs to pay for their medications. Terms expire at the end of each calendar year and may change. Offer not valid in CA and MA. There is no income requirement. See program requirements below.
There is a lot more I don’t want to copy and paste but specific to insurance
This program is only available to individuals age 6 to 65 using commercial or private health insurance for their Janssen medication, including plans available through state and federal healthcare exchanges. This program is not available to individuals who use any state or federal government-funded healthcare program to cover a portion of medication costs, such as Medicare, Medicaid, TRICARE, Department of Defense, or Veterans Administration.
I think as long as you have insurance you can use the card. Doesn’t matter if your insurance covers it or not as long as you have insurance. Then it would take $150 off the out of pocket cost. for me that was still very expensive but still better than paying full price if I had to get the brand.

That's how I read it as well, and I'm certainly hoping that's the case. It's $500 cash price so $150 off that would be great. GoodRx is $427 so worse case, I'll do that.
