Hi there,
I'm having a dispute with my insurance company over the co-pay amount for the drug Ocella. I thought Ocella was a generic substitute for Yasmin (this is what my pharmacist told me), but my insurance company is adamant Ocella is a "brand-name substitute" for Yasmin, and therefore subject to the more expensive brand-name co-pay.
Can someone clarify this for me? I am a pathology intern and do not understand how all this pharmacy classification works. Thanks
