I Have Kaiser And Received A Prescription For Add Medication From A Separate Doctor, I Need Kaiser To Cover It?

This question is much simpler and not as intimidating as the length of the description would lead you to think…
I actually have Attention Deficit Disorder and was diagnosed about 1 month ago. I was referred by a friend of mine to a VERY reputable and well-respected psychiatrist who was in my area and after 2 consulting sessions he diagnosed me and wrote me a prescription for Vyvanse. I made a mistake though because my insurance is with Kaiser and I would need a Kaiser doctor to write my prescription so my insurance can cover the medication. Now I have a prescription from a separate doctor NOT affiliated with Kaiser and this prescription may cost up to $500 since my Kaiser insurance can’t cover it.
Now, is there anyway I can or I should notify my Kaiser doctor of this problem? I have paid good money to the non-Kaiser doctor (Around $700) and now that I have a prescription it will not be covered by my insurance!!
PLEASE HELP! THIS IS A HUGE LOSS FOR ME! ANY THOUGHTS ARE WELCOMED.

    Search and ask for a generic form of the drug from another doctor or a private pharmacy at a cheaper price.
    -Ask your doctor to write the new preswcription in a generic form
