Aetna should be fine with this unless the arthritis is rheumatoid.

Bankers Fidelity. At that weight it'll be Standard rate, but still well below BCBS.

Is she a smoker? If you post her age and zip I can give you the rate.

I would make sure of that. The reason I'm saying that is because she seems to be taking it as a preventative because you didn't say anything about her being diagnosed with Peripheral Vascular Disease or Coronary Heart Disease.

I'm thinking they may accept it since it is a preventative prescription.

I thought Plavix was on Aetnas knock out list for scripts...

Only if taken for Peripheral Vascular Disease.

If there's an asterisk, then if they're taking that med for the health condition listed beside the med, that's a KO. If they're not taking it for the listed condition, that's an OK.

What else can Plavix be taken for? These situations can get sticky. They don't take plavix for acid reflux or something minor....

Clopidogrel, sold as the brandname Plavix among others,[1] is a medication that is used to reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke in those at high risk.[2] It is also used together with aspirin in heart attacks and following the placement of a coronary artery stent (dual antiplatelet therapy).
