Sigh… Here’s another one of the formulary things….
Yesterday I needed a Depo Prevera shot. One shot is good for 12 weeks (84 days). Of course, nothing is covered at my local pharmacy unless it is written for 30 days. And if I go through the mail order pharmacy, it’s about $15.00 higher.
Weird? or What?
So I’ve got to track this down and fight it, because I got charged $53.xx instead of $30.00
And I’ve got to go back to my doctor and tell him to write the script for 30 days!
We ran into this a few years ago. I need to be on Deflucan every day for a month. Well, the doctor thought it only came packages for treating normal yeast infections and wrong the script for that.
The local pharmacy rejected the third refill and gave me all kinds of guff and stress. Finally the pharmacy actually thought for a second and said — if your doctor would write it for THIS form of Diflucan it would be covered AND it would have been cheaper.
Why didn’t they say that the first time … and of course, they wouldn’t refund anything for before.
