How can I get my insurance company to cover Cymbalta - my employer changed insurers and the new one refuses to pay for it.

Sometimes when insurance won't pay for a certain drug is because there are other drugs that are in the same family and are cheaper. If so, you have to have tried all the other drugs first. If that isn't it you might want to see if your doctor can get authorization to take it.

sometimes the md can insist that it is "medically necessary"

I agree but insurance companies are weird people. they know more than the docs. I think you should be able to get it approved through your doctor, they will have to work with the insurance company. If all else fails try something similar. Good Luck
