Misclassification of Generic Drug as a Brand Name

Did you know that some health insurance companies have misclassified what drugs are considered generic and classified them as brand name drugs? An example of this is the drug tamoxifen. This misclassification influences the amount they charge you on your CO-pay. Next time you purchase a drug and are charged the higher CO-pay such as $10.00 or 20%, ask the pharmacist if the drug is really a generic. If it is you could be entitled to a significant refund for all the times you purchased the drug.
