Lipitor, a medication used to treat high cholesterol, does not have specific coverage limits in terms of the number of pills or dosage that insurance plans will cover. However, there may be annual dollar limits on prescription drug coverage, including Lipitor. These limits can vary widely depending on the specific insurance plan.

It's important to note that Lipitor is now available as a generic drug, known as atorvastatin. Generic drugs are typically less expensive than brand-name drugs, which may affect coverage limits.

According to DrugPatentWatch.com, the patent for Lipitor expired in November 2011, which has led to increased availability of generic versions [1]. This increase in availability may also impact coverage limits and out-of-pocket costs for patients.

To determine specific coverage limits for Lipitor or atorvastatin, it is recommended to consult the specific insurance plan or pharmacy benefit manager. They can provide detailed information on annual dollar limits, as well as any requirements for step therapy, prior authorization, or quantity limits.

In summary, while there are no specific coverage limits for Lipitor in terms of pills or dosage, annual dollar limits may apply. The availability of generic atorvastatin may impact coverage limits and out-of-pocket costs. It is essential to consult the specific insurance plan or pharmacy benefit manager for detailed information.
