Doctor prescribed a drug to me, requested I have labs done again four weeks later. Going to pick up the medication from my pharmacy I am told it needed "prior authorization," I should check back in a few days. I get a call this morning from the nurse at my doctor's office whom tells me another replacement has been called in instead, to take it and have labs done in three months. Three months, I said? She tells me it's less effective and takes longer for results.
It's one thing for a person to opt for an OTC treatment that takes longer for a lesser price (Monistat 1, 3, 7 comes to mind) but for an insurance company to tell me my cure, treatment, alleviation, my life is not worth the best there is to offer angers me. But, hell, these are the same assholes who said I couldn't have an MRI before denying everything, then not before an X-Ray (which found nothing), then not before a CT (which found nothing), THEN allows an MRI that found an injured disc, six months later. Hippocrates would not be amused.
