More Zyrtec fun

It’s a VERY good thing I knew the allergy medication game was coming. Here’s the latest in the saga…

The doctor’s office didn’t get the precertification back quick enough for Medco. On Feb 26, Medco sent the script back to me. The precertification came through on Feb 27.

So now I have to wait until the script is returned to me, and then send it back to Medco to be filled. So far, we’re talking about the following:

I went to the doctor on February 16, and got the prescriptions.
I dropped them off at the mailbox on the way home — but it was a postal holiday so it didn’t get mailed until February 17th.

The rest of the order arrived on February 27th — a 10 day turn around.

SO, if the script arrives in the mail today, I’m looking at March 12 to get my Zyrtec.

NEVER NEVER put off filling medications. In fact, I’d be totally screwed (though I didn’t let onto this), if I had not built up a 60 day cushion on my meds.

ALWAYS make sure you have a full month’s supply at all time otherwise you’ll have to pay a 30 day copay rather than a 90.
