So the insurance company is still holding my meds "hostage"

[TZ]

Its now been 11 days since my last injection (I'm supposed to have them once a week). I ordered my refill last Tuesday..*sigh*. I don't know WHY they are being such bastards again about this..they were being okay for the last 5 months...
This is why McCain's little $5,000 tax credit for health care is so pathetically bad..I would have used up that credit loong ago and would be stuck no doubt paying for my own stuff by now!
I HATE HATE HATE insurance company bean counters...x( :banghead: :grr:

BTW, you know its bad when the insurance company is doing battle with MAYO clinic..Aargh. What do they know?:sarcasm:

1. My insurance company wanted to bump me when I switched from

COBRA to individual. I am still fighting with them for some things. Like my prescription ceiling. Grrrr. I'm so sorry you're dealing with that.

2. Any reason

they have not sent it?

[TZ]

4. Yeah. It costs $2,000

For eight weeks of interferon. Okay maybe I could understand if this was my first script on this but its NOT. I went through this battle back in May after I went to Mayo Clinic and after two weeks of fighting getting it approved.

3. Show them the "Whip Of Justice"

that ought to get them to straighten up...

:P

:hug: I hope they get it resolved soon.

5. Maybe they think you're selling it on the street?

You know, because kids love nothing more than mainlining a little Interferon.

6. Turtleandsue!!!

What will Obama's health plan look like?

:hi: :hug:

[TZ]

7. better than McCain's thats for sure

Obama's plan includes no rejection for "pre-existing conditions" something I have a BIG worry about...

8. I'd sue the fuckers...

Seriously. They are practicing medicine without a license.

9. Jesus fucking christ!

I guess I thought the purpose of an insurance company was to pay claims. I suppose you have been on the horn with them telling them that you need it right goddamn now. Assholes.

11. I'm letting Mayo do the fighting for me at the moment

I remember from the last time me personally calling does NADA! The Mayo people are really on top of this stuff though...

10. Does your state have a Dept of Insurance or Dept of Consumer Protection?

the Connecticut Dept. of Consumer Protection has gotten pretty good results for me in the past, but I haven't dealt with them over insurance issues...

I might start with the DoI or DCP - the DOI might have a person that specializes in dealing with issues like yours.

12. I don't know if that would help at the moment.

Apparantly the hold up is...they want to look at my latest bloodwork from my doctor HERE--and Mayo is trying to get a hold of it because even though THEY SAID they would send it to Mayo they have not been..its a nightmare of red tape at the moment I think.
