As the insurer and the service provider, KP is unique. The insurance operation is not going to refuse to cover anything ordered by their doctors. I’ve had several expensive (over $10,000) surgeries over the past 5 years, never had a copay over $200. I’m on Ozempic - my October refill cost me $0. September was 21¢. I’m not kidding.
