re: The Prior Authorization Process for Medicine

quote:

---

I called the insurance company last Friday to see what was up, I was told that they did not receive the PA forms. So I called my doctor, again, and they said they would send, again. I called the insurance company today, again, they said they didn't have anything to process. And I just went ballistic on them. The end result of the call was they did a "temporary" one-fill authorization of both medicines, and they will directly reach out to my doctor to figure out why they seem to be unable to get the information.

Sorry man.

This sadly is how the process plays out for just about everyone .

At least they did give you an emergency override so you could get your meds while they straighten it out … ( hopefully they don’t don’t forget and actually do follow up and get the necessary info from the Dr office so you aren’t in the same position in a month )
