My doctor switched me in February to the new 40mg Copaxone. I had a month left of my old prescription so wasn't to worried until the new medicine didn't show up. Called the pharmacy and found out it was denied because my doctor's office didn't get prior authorization with the insurance company. Called and left messages with my doctor's office, finally got a call back from his assistant and she new nothing about it.
Called my insurance company today and found out the assistant did call but has not sent the forms in and they recommended calling the pharmacy and having my old prescription renewed because it will be awhile before the new prescription is approved or denied (in which I would have to write a written appeal). Called the pharmacy and the old prescription was made inactive once the new prescription was received and they can not fill it.
Called my doctor's office again and left another message. I only have 5 dose left and
I am out. Called Shared Solution and all they could advise is for me to call my doctor and have them call the pharmacy. I started to cry because of the frustration and he thinks I need a visit from a nurse... I am not depressed.. pissed off at the run around I am getting from everyone. Sorry for the vent but I just had to get it out. Thanks for this space.
