I have used Epocrates for quite a while, but this new software also deserves mentioning as it does a very good job as well. It is also free upon registration and also has a nice format for looking up drugs and insurance carriers for coverage. It takes a while to configure online and you select both the categories or individual drugs you want included as well as the health plans. This listing also has some large employer, union, etc. groups included. The process is pretty straight forward to use, once you have loaded your selected data base of insurance payers and drugs. You can use the online version and also download a Windows Mobile version for use on a Cell Phone/PDA unit. If you download the PDA version, you will also need to have the net compact framework for the unit which can be found at the link below. Install the framework before installing the program software.
What really was mind boggling is the number of payers for California here, and I'm sure the list will continue to grow. BD
