I met with the nurse today and we went over the chemo pills I'm going to be taking. It actually the same chemo drug I was taking earlier but in pill form, and as I've said, I'm very happy about that. Apparently I responded well to that treatment because the doc said that the liver and lymph nodes look much better.
After my appointment I went to the pharmacy to pick up the pills. After a long wait, the pharmacist called me up and told me that my insurance company wanted to talk to the doctor to make sure that I needed this medication. It was a prescription FROM the doctor, with his signature on it. I'd say that means he thinks I should get the medication, but I guess Blue Cross Blue Shield wants to be absolutely sure. The pharmacist said it could take two days. You have GOT to be kidding me. Yo, Blue Cross, you're messing with my chi!!!

ReplyDeleteWhat? An insurance company giving someone problems in getting their treatment? I'm shocked.
ReplyDeleteRaise a stink!!
ReplyDeleteAeron has connections with BCBS - maybe he can help!
ReplyDeleteThey called back this afternoon and have the med ready. Lucky for them.
ReplyDeleteHmmm. Kinda makes you wonder exactly what they are thinking. Like you're gonna try to get these pills without permission? Is there really fraud in getting this kind prescription drug? I'm glad to hear it was straightened out quickly.
