My OBGYN prescribed me a new medicine for my endometriosis and I have Aetna and they are refusing to cover the medication. Has anyone experienced this? Have you taken Orlissa?

I took it for about a year and a half. It was amazing! I did have to fight with the insurance company to get and keep approval. I've been off of it for about 6 months or so now and I can feel the pain slowly coming back.

Yip, they didn't covered it at first for me, then after a few months with my doctor trying to prove my case,the insurance appoved it partially. I have taken it for years at a time, didn't do much help with controlling it but did help with pain a bit...

I have taken Orilissa. At the time that I was taking it my doctor said it's normal for insurance companies to refuse to cover it. I remember him explaining to me that he had to prove that I had undergone a series of treatments and nothing helped (surgeries, birth control, other medications,etc). My insurance carrier at the time was BCBS.
