I recently filled my prescriptions, and used my insurance (Aetna) to do so, and I was wondering, will my prescription info be sent to me in the mail? Like will I get a bill explaining what they paid? And will it be Itemized? And Can they raise my insurance because of it?

The drug and health condition for which it was prescribed will be sent to your insurance company for reimbursement purposes. The insurance company will have information (such as diagnosis and treatment) relating to payment of your claim, which was sent by the pharmacy and doctor’s office.
The information that will be mailed to you will be called an explanation of benefits, or EOB. This will not be a bill. This will show the doctor’s or pharmacy’s charges, and what amounts you will be responsible for. If you have any specific questions, contact your insurance company. The number is often listed on the back of your insurance card.
Your insurance premium (how much you pay per month) cannot be raised during the contract period. Once the policy expires, the premium could go up, for a variety of reasons. Filling a prescription likely has little impact on the decision to increase how much you pay for health insurance.
