My friend who’s on a high-deductible plan says they reimburse you for the portion that’s before your deductible. It’s actually kind of a sweet deal because you hit your deductible without being out any money. Then you don’t have to worry about paying for medical care for the rest of the year.

Who is “they”? There’s a copay card you can use from Gilead that helps pay your co-pay but not aware if that helps you hit out of pocket expenses before you hit your deductible or if that counts as your copay.
The way it was explained to me is: you use the Gilead card to pay you copay, and that counts toward your deductible. So, my last post was wrong to use the word “reimburse”.
I use a different medication where i pay the copay on a credit card and they rebate me a check
It depends on your insurance, but on some it will.
