Many ADHD meds, too. Between two very-ADHD kids, we lose tens of hours a year to screwing around with their prescriptions, plus the paid time various professionals lose to it. Some of it’s unavoidable (if you insist on the level of safeguards they apply to these) but a ton of it’s just because the processes are terrible and nobody’s bothered to make them better. One of those hidden costs of our healthcare system.

Last few insurance plan sheets I’ve looked over have also all had higher copays (like 3x higher, iirc) for mailed drugs. Not sure why.

They were probably 90-day supplies. Most mail order is.

Oh—maybe. I just see it listed as like “$15, $40 by mail” on the summary sheet, or something like that. I’ve never tried it to see what happens.
