(6,036 posts)Seeing one of the Wife's meds discontinued from Insurance Coverage with the same corporate plan from year to year. I am not surprised that for some people there will be glitches in the system. How much is a glitch verses working as intended by the Insurance Companies is my question. The wife's med was eventually approved but it took additional paperwork from the Rheumatologist before it was authorized. During the time of uncertainty I suppose I could have claimed my prescription out of pocket might go from $3k/yr to $15k/yr.
While the pugs are spreading fear. For alot of people with serious medical issues are full of fear about what the changes mean. And I don't know that we have done a descent job at providing an effective means to ease the navigation of this small group of people who are incredibly dependent upon how and what their insurance covers. Really they almost need a regular full time patient advocate to navigate the ins co hurdles.
