At least, I assume that giving patients samples are no big deal to most doctor’s office. I have had a few, especially primary care physicians, that always made sure you had enough medication samples that you’d "covered" the copay. <\/p>\n

However, for me it’s a BIG deal. My prescription bottle of Protonix is going to run out the middle of next week. Right now, Medco is still showing that the gastric doctor hasn’t asked for the coverage review — though it could be that she has, and they haven’t done it yet. At any rate, it isn’t shipping.<\/p>\n

I’d emailed my endo’s office at the beginning of this saga (on Monday, December 24, when this all started on December 22), and asked for Prontonix samples. They’ve actually been able to hook me up before, so I was hoping. I’d even called the Primary care physician but they were out.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Well, the endo’s assistant was back in this week — he’s still out — and she gave me a huge bag of Prontoix samples. Enough to last me over a MONTH! I didn’t realize just how much at the time, I always think it’s rude to look in the horse’s mouth when it’s handed to you — so I didn’t look until I got back home. So I can relax a bit now. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
