If you have been reimbursed by your insurance or private health plan, you can only claim the amount you actually paid. "After Insurance".

  • If you pay the full amount then submit your receipts, subtract the reimbursement from the total and claim the remainder.
  • If the pharmacy subtracts the insurance paid portion at the time you fill the prescription, claim the amount you paid.
