Humulin insulin. She did approve a 11 day supply of novolin insulin


Humulin and Novolin are the SAME THING.

I would bet you need a prior authorization which is an insurance hoop your doctor needs to jump through for you. I bet that is what is mixed up with "physician approval"

I believe 5x concentrate for the pump is only available as humulin R. Prior approval for that product for someone already with an insulin pump should be an easy check off.

If it's just a PA needed the pharmacist could try to dispense the unbreakable vial as the "3 day supply" they often cover during the PA process. At least that's what I'd do.
