  • Because the manufacturer is trying to extort the insurer. Please bear in mind that everyone in this market is fucking trash but manufacturer coupons should absolutely be illegal. In this case the patient pays nominal out of pocket cost of 5 dollars while the manufacturer is effectively getting 10k/mo, assuming this isn’t an exotic drug all of that money minus mayyyybe five bucks is pure profit.

    The nominal charge is likely a requirement by the insurer to make sure that patients don’t overfill medication they don’t need - manufacturer coupons literally let those companies print money.
