My prescription card carrier said unless my doctor sent a lengthy explanation on why I was taking the drug he prescribed for me they would not pay any more towards it. I went to the pharmacy and asked what the cash price was without my prescription card and it was the same price. They weren’t paying anything.
“unless my doctor sent a lengthy explanation”
Bull hockey. Doc’s office calls Pharmacy and says alternatives don’t work or drug give the patient unwanted side effects and most of the time that’s all that has to happen.
Since Bammycare has come into being I think many of the big chain pharmacy are in bed with the generic makers.
I’ve seen chains tell people a med isn’t made anymore cuz they don’t have it stock!!! Cuz “people get upset if we tell them they have to go elsewhere”.
Call around. Prices vary big time. All depends on who made a deal with who.
United hasn’t paid a dime on my dozens of medical bills this year. They’ve spent a lot on postage sending me itemized excuses as to why they don’t pay for each charge, though.
Year is almost up and I still haven’t reached my deductible, thanks Obamahillarykennedy. Jan 1 it starts all over again (probably with an even higher deductible).
