Two Fridays ago at my ENT visit, he faxed an order for vancomycin for me to start using with my PARI Sinus nebulizer to vibrate around up in my sinuses to see if that melts away the green monster that is living in my head.
I’m still waiting for said antibiotics.
By Wednesday morning, I called to see when I could expect the shipment, and they said that shipment wasn’t scheduled, so I said I’d like it by Friday. Thursday, I got a call from them saying that my insurance would only let one specialty pharmacy send it to me: their own pharmacy. I waited for that call for delivery. Friday, I called them. They didn’t have the order ready because it took him 5 minutes of me listening to him breathe like a prank call pervert to find the fax from the other pharmacy to tell me that they would have to get approval from the insurance to be able to schedule delivery.
Today… I’m not holding my breath. I’ll be calling them at 2pm – after the lunch rush – to poke them with a cattle prod.
I go throught the same crap every few months trying to get my Amikacin. Super frustrating…Grr!
I’m going to call this morning and see if it’s been approved YET and just
pay for it out of pocket if it’s cheap enough.
They *said* that an insurance rep is verifying benefits to tell the specialty pharm what my copay is. What monkey crap! I’ve met my limits, so my copay for generic drugs is $15. A lemur can tell them that in a nanosecond. (primates would be too much credit)
