Family Forum / Parenting / Mothers / September 2005Getting Just the Tiniest Bit Irritated
DS's doctor dx him with ADD. No surprise there. She wrote a scrip for him. Went to regular pharmacy. They didn't have it. They called a different branch. Didn't have it. I went to Major Pharmacy. Didn't have it. Next day tried Walgreens. They had it. Insurance didn't cover it and it was $100+ out of pocket. Got home called the ins co. got snotty CS rep. no help. Called doctor's office. "We'll give you a new scrip but it will have to be on friday as doc is off tomorrow. Okay. Fine. Get a call from doc's today. Scrip is ready. Go get it. Take it to pharmacy next door to office. They don't carry it. Went back to Walgreens. Again they say ins won't cover it. $83+ out of pocket this time. Get in car and go back to doc's office. Nurse says that ins co told her it was on the approved list. Calls pharmacy and asks them to double check the info entered into computer. Go back to Walgreens and they do this. Still no. Get home and call doc's again and told her they still wouldn't do it. Waiting for a call back from her. Probably won't be able to do anything about this until next week though. Just the *tiniest bit* irritated. Angela  SignatureOh, you can't help that," said the Cat."we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad.""How do you know I'm mad?". said Alice."You must be," said the Cat,"or you wouldn't have come here.". > DS's doctor dx him with ADD. No surprise there.

(Email if you don't mind saying but just don't want to post it, and apologies for asking if you'd prefer to keep it private.) Best wishes, Ericka > What drugs are they prescribing that are so hard > to find and not covered? (Email if you don't mind saying [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > Best wishes, > Ericka I don't mind at all. Not a state secret. lol The first one they prescribed was Focalin XR. The ins co won't authorize it until/unless all other state acceptable meds have been tried. That one *was* and honest mistake as the doc thought it was on the list. The second one is Metadate CD. That one *is* on the list. Just after I posted I got a call back from the nurse. She, may God forever bless the ground she walks on, had a coupon for a FREE 30 day supply of the second one. DS and I went and picked it up and got the scrip filled. She told me that the ins co had called her back and told her that DS wasn't a member! /picks jaw up off floor Just tried calling the ins co and their phones are messing up due to Rita. I'm to try again in a few minutes. Although the way I'm feeling it might be a good idea to wait until Monday to do this. lol Angela SignatureOh, you can't help that," said the Cat."we're all mad here. I'm mad.

Good luck with the whole process--keep in mind that finding the right drug and dose can take a whole lot of work, so fasten your seatbelt and keep working until you get a situation that is truly satisfactory.
