Ask for the answer in writing so you can take it into the care discussion.
- Formulary
- The list of medicines an insurance plan covers.
Ask whether the exact medicine is listed
Ask whether tesamorelin is on your plan’s formulary.
Give the full product name from the doctor’s or other health professional’s proposal.
Ask whether the answer depends on the condition being treated.
Keep any reference number or written reply with the quote.
- Prior authorization
- The plan agreeing to pay before a prescription is filled.
Ask what happens before the fill
Ask whether prior authorization is needed for the proposed medicine.
If it is, ask who sends the request and what records the plan wants.

Also ask which pharmacy can fill it under your plan.
- Copay
- The patient’s part of a bill the plan covers.
Ask what you would still pay
Ask for the medicine cost to you and the separate cost of visits or tests.
Ask whether any payment help applies to your insurance type.
