From Psychiatric Times: “Medicare Prepares Reversal on Covering All Antidepressants and Antipsychotics”

The all-or-none nature of this concerns me. While it may be less important that all drugs from the antidepressant and antipsychotic classes are covered, if these classes lose their Medicare Part D “protected status,” the fallout not only for Medicare recipients but for all insured patients could be significant.
