That… is good to know. I knew they were required but figured generic Truvada was the requirement.

Well kinda irrelevant. My previous insurance loved to deny things, it’s why my company changed.

I worked with my doctor, tried multiple times to get them to cover Descovy (I struggled with the larger pills, I finally just forced myself to get used to it) and was never successful. Just gave up.

See my sibling comment. GP is half-correct. They are not required to cover Descovy specifically. Covering Truvada is sufficient to comply with the law (assuming they are also covering all associated labwork and outpatient visits, and not requiring you to pay anything out-of-pocket for any of those).
