Based on the information available, it is possible that there may be restrictions on which pharmacies you can use for generic Lipitor with your insurance. This can depend on a variety of factors, including the specific terms of your insurance policy and the network of pharmacies that your insurance company has contracted with.

It is common for insurance companies to have preferred pharmacy networks, which are pharmacies that have agreed to provide drugs to customers at a discounted rate. If you use a pharmacy that is not in your insurance company's preferred network, you may have to pay a higher copay or coinsurance rate.

In addition, it is worth noting that the availability of generic Lipitor (atorvastatin) may also be subject to patent restrictions. According to DrugPatentWatch.com, the patent for atorvastatin expired in November 2011, which means that generic versions of the drug are now available. However, there may still be restrictions on which generic versions are covered by your insurance, and at what rate.

To determine the specific restrictions and coverage for generic Lipitor with your insurance, it is recommended that you contact your insurance company directly. They should be able to provide you with information on which pharmacies are in their preferred network, as well as any restrictions on which generic versions of atorvastatin are covered.
