Hi Janelle:-) thanks for the info~I appreciate it~I will look into it~hopefully things will turn out ok.
A 'C-Pass' is basically prior authorization for a medication. A form that needs to be filled out by your doctor then submitted to your insurance company on why your doctor feels that the medication is well....medically necessary.
Hope that helped:-)
Take care.> Many of the drug manufacturers offer either reduced price or free meds to patients with low incomes or whose insurance won't cover the med.

> I imagine you could go to the website for the co. that makes Lexapro and see if there's any info about such a program there, or if there is a toll free number mentioned on the sample pack you could call.

> Good luck and what's a C-Pass???!!???
