I have to use Medco for prescription drugs through my healthplan at work. When i was first covered, they claimed they could not cover Effexor and there was no generic, so they suggested a 'similar' drug, which of course was a name brand, Cymbalta.
They arent similar, the ingredients are totally different. I did research after the fact and found that YES Effexor does come in generic (even at the time I inquired about it). I had a terrible experience with Cymbalta, even going to the ER once.
Is Medco liable for any of this? They flat out LIED to me. Maybe i should have done my due dilligence first, but i didnt think the company would lie. I guess i was too naieve.

Did you call them and discuss the issue with them???
By your own admission you did nothing to mitigate the problem.

Contact your state's insurance commissioner and report this to them. They will investigate Medco and find out what and why this happened.

I agree that you should report this to the state insurance commissioner. You might also consider contacting the state bar association for a referral to an attorney who practices consumer law.
