I am just getting caught up on all...Oh, Elizabeth. I am just getting caught up on all this after a busy freaking week--wish I could have weighed in sooner. <br /><br />The whole insurance thing just s*cks, absolutely. Insurance reform, if it passes, might be helpful in some ways, but, obviously, won't solve all our problems. After all the screaming and yelling and hysteria on the part of our ridiculous politicians, at least we'll have a start of some kind. <br /><br />You know that I am on your side all the way. I'm trying to think of practical advice about the insurance people from hell. You're on an individual payer plan, right? Look at your prescription benefits and see if you have a mail-order pharmacy benefit. Once you've used the local pharmacy a couple of times to see if this therapy helps, you could get the scrip switched to a mail-order pharmacy, if you have that benefit. With mail order, you can often order 3 months worth at once (the scrip has to be written for a 90-day supply or the equivalent in the BC doses). Often, you get the 90 day supply for the same co-pay as a single refill. And often the rates are cheaper than the walk-in pharm. We do it now, it's really easy. I only have a couple of scrips at the local pharm.<br /><br />And why doesn't this fancy neurologist write a scrip for a BC pill like Seasonal (I think that's the name), one of the BCs that runs continuously without you ever having your period? There are a couple on the market that fill with a 30 day supply, but are designed to skip the period altogether--treatment for lots of different medical conditions. Specialists never know what the other specialists know. Makes you just want to throw up your hands and scream.jeneva22https://www.blogger.com/profile/14796890614666454443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4863417462909147257.post-69148574358635456282010-03-19T16:05:16.234-07:002010-03-19T16:05:16.234-07:00I know that feeling, that crying exhausted wanderi...I know that feeling, that crying exhausted wandering hopeless feeling.

Sometimes I go to the pharmacy and say "I forgot the perscription" and they just give it to me. that's the way ti should be. Its not like its bloody methadone for gods sake. and yet my husband needs eye drops for his condition, and its like he's asking for pure grade crack...no mercy if he wants advance doses. I just dont get it.screamishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11877496725306468555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4863417462909147257.post-15279909763210271112010-03-19T11:56:04.685-07:002010-03-19T11:56:04.685-07:00What can I write?

One of my daughters--a sailor who is out for months at a time has had problems getting her birth control pills filled in quantity. We tried subverting the system once before she went off to England and the North Sea or somewhere and carted the prescription around to a bunch of different pharmacies, but they could see on the computer that she'd already gotten her month. I mean really. What was she going to do--sell it for a profit on the street?<br />I think what worked was explaining her situation to her doctor who then wrote a prescription specifying that 6 months of pills were to be filled at one time--BUT yes, she had to pay for it. Insurance will only cover one month. Who is behind this? <br />Please be kind to yourself. Movies & Chinese doctor. The insurance monster requires slaying, but you require a day off.
