Insurance/Costs

I am in the process of investigating the pricing policy of diabetes supplies as it relates to my insurance company and was wondering where to turn. My prescriptions are covered by a separate company not related to my medical coverage. When my son’s prescription for strips is written six to seven times a day, I get charged a double premium since it is above the norm that was set by the insurance company. Is this kind of pricing considered discriminatory?
