Hi. I just received notice from UHCare OptumRX pushing my perscription for Truvada Tab 200-300 to a lower-cost alternative, Abacavir-Lamivudine. They are doing this by moving Truvada to a Tier 3 higher price, therefore much more costly for me, by saying Avacavir-Lamivudine is an equivalent, Tier 1 lower-cost alternative. There are also pushing me to get my Dr. Specialist to authorize this change. I have an appointment at the end of January 2018. That means I will have to take the cost hit in Jaunary until I have my Dr. appointment to authorize or deny the change in medication. I have quarterly test with UCDavis Medical in Sacramento, CA. I am HIV negative and have been on Truvada for 5 years with no issues. I m just trying to determine if this is really a safe drug equivalent. Thank you.
