My gastro doctor called last night and said she had not received the coverage review paperwork for me, but had for other patients. She also wondered if there was another medication we could use that wouldn’t cause so many problems. So I called Medco last night, they told me I had to call the coverage hotline to get the paperwork sent and that all other medications that could be used instead also had to have coverage review under our policy. Also called the coverage hotline and they are supposed to send in the paperwork. She also said that she’d have her people call the 1-800 number.
On my part, I’m experimenting with going with 1 tablet a day instead of 2, and see if there is a difference in my sleep. Scary, but I am going to give it a try.
The best part though, is the samples from the endo’s office, because now I can relax a bit and don’t have to have the protonix TODAY.
And the gastro doctor did call in an emergency supply but the insurance doesn’t want to pay for it. (According to Alberton’s pharmacy).
