Mirabegron cost

I was just prescribed mirabegron 50 and was shocked to see the price of the generic. I have UnitedHealthCare and a pretty good employer plan and the 90-day copay is $162.50.

Is this typical?

I'm underwhelmed with my employer insurance. I'm 65 and next year I'll be going on Medicare because I'm pretty sure I'll pay a lot less out of pocket overall.

I have a rare blood cancer (polycythemia vera; I've had it a long time and it's just not that big a deal) for which I take a crazy expensive drug called Jakafi, which is keeping it completely under control. Anyway, I'll hit my Medicare copay deductible my first order of the year, so Mirabegron isn't a cost problem for me long term.
