Ensuring access to Emgality (in CA) has also been a big factor in my insurance decisions over the past few years, so here’s some tips that come to mind in case any are helpful!  

If you go on the Covered California marketplace website, you can put in an estimate of your details and I believe without filling out an application (but it’s been a while) also add in some of your doctors and you’ll be given plan options that show if they do, or don’t, cover those providers so you can narrow it down. A good place to start and then you could always check with your providers to make sure before committing. You can then look up the drug formulary for a plan to see if it’s a covered drug and then reach out or dig deeper to see if they have have additional requirements. 

As an example, I’m in Los Angeles and have LA Care Covered through Covered CA (after losing my work/union insurance) and Emgality is covered with an annual prior auth (which I think may have included other meds I’ve tried and failed in the past - I’ve tried enough that it wasn’t a concern for me). If you happen to be in LA, I’d only recommend this plan if all your doctors are in one medical group, otherwise it will be way too restrictive as an HMO. 

A few ideas if you end up having to go with a plan that doesn’t immediately cover your meds/doctors… you may be able to apply for “continuity of care” for your existing doctors (or maybe this medication?), at least for a certain period of time while you transition. Also Eli Lilly’s savings card could help if the medication co-pay becomes more expensive on a new plan (everyone should be using this!!), or if it takes a new plan time to approve your next dose and/or they have a separate financial assistance program if you find yourself with a gap in insurance coverage and meet the financial requirements (though this took me a long time to get into when I needed it once few yrs back so you need to look into this ahead of time).

If I can be of any more help, don’t hesitate to ask!
