My husband is switching health insurance and takes a branded medication that's $600 a month without insurance. He's had trouble in the past getting it approved because there is a generic version that is a slightly different molecule that the insurance company suggests, but that doesn't work as well for him. Is there a way to tell if the insurance accepts this medication before he switches?
Yes. Their formulary should be public. There will be different tiers, some drugs are going to be covered differently.
I’d also recommend looking up manufacturer assistance/coupons and goodRx
