	<title>Insurance Cancels Allergy Drug Coverage</title>
	<link>http://ask.metafilter.com/102901/Insurance%2DCancels%2DAllergy%2DDrug%2DCoverage</link>	
	<description>My insurance company (Blue Cross/Shield MA) is dropping all prescription drug benefits for allergy drugs in favor of over-the-counter medicine like Claritin.  I have serious allergies and take Alegra 180.  What can I do? My insurance company (Blue Cross/Shield MA) is dropping all prescription drug benefits for allergy drugs in favor of over-the-counter medicine like Claritin.  The rationale being that all allergy symptoms can be treated by this class of drug.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
I have very serious allergies and take Alegra 180.  I&apos;ve tried Claritin, Zyrtec, and a variety of other drugs and finally settled on the serious prescription allergy drug I have been on for the last 5 years.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
What can I do now that my insurance seems to be revoking all coverage?</description>
