TER General Board

Get a pill cutter. They're cheap.

No that doesn't solve your insurance question and I don't  have an answer for that. Maybe take this question to the ED board...sorry I mean the "over 60" board.

I am just commenting on your last paragraph about not being able to break them in half. A pill cutter should be able to cut precise halves despite the shape of the pill.

My insurance changed. I used to get 9 Cialis 20mg tabs for a $60 copay. I would break them in half. * The new insurance considers it a Tier 3 and only allows 4 20mg for $110 copay. Cialis is $50 a pill? I told my Dr to punch the rep. They don't give samples anymore either.  
My doc tried to change it to BPH so I could get 30 5mg, but it requires pre-authorization.  
I don't want to use a non-us knockoff.  
I called the insurance RX company. They suggested injections or some patch.  
I have read the other threads on similar topics but they seemed to get derailed quickly.  

Has anyone successfully navigated the insurance route? Any hints or tricks?  

*Actually, you can't break them in half. It's more like 60/40 due to the teardrop shape. That makes you think...does this merit a 60 or just a 40? ;)

I PM'd you about a solution to this.  

Basically, you're not going to get your insurance to cover it if they don't want to.

...it comes in 20 mg pills. Pay for it out of pocket. Your insurance company doesn't get involved. Don't mention insurance when at the pharmacy. Go to one that isn't your regular one. I pay $23 and some few cents for 30 pills (a months supply) at my local pharmacy. 30 pills gets me through the month easily as I take 3 (equals 60mg) before a session.

My urologist prescribes and dispenses sildenafil at a very reasonable rate.  It works as well as viagara at 10%  of the cost.  See a urologist, not your regular doc.
