I don't know how common this is, but for some Very Expensive Medications, drug manufacturers such as Lilly will run non-profit orgs that will help you get them dirt cheap if your insurance won't cover them. In my case, my dermatologist put me on Taltz straight away, skipping all of my insurance company's preferred first drugs because the complication rate was much lower. Even if my insurance company would have covered it, the co-pay would have been impossible to keep up with. However, with their other org covering the cost, I think I ended up paying something like $25 a dose for what was at the time several thousand dollars retail price. All of that is to say, if the health insurance plan your company has doesn't want to cover it, it might be worth reaching out to the manufacturer to see if they will help. At the very least, they may be able to recommend a US based specialist to get you a new prescription if the specialist pharmacies here don't respect a foreign prescription.
