don't have to advise you of their denial of a prescription medication.
I'm still trying to get Provigil (or Modafinil is fine). Doctor sent prescription to pharmacy two weeks ago. Pharmacy says they're waiting on insurance company.
I called health insurer today and was told they have denied the prescription and they don't have to advise anyone they have denied it. Told me if I wanted to know if it was approved or not I had to call them and the phone call is the only advise/confirmation I will get. Of course, they added in the comment that I can purchase the medication myself - sure, no problem, it's only two grand a month!
I can't believe the insurance company doesn't have to advise you in writing. Anyone familiar with this? Last June my neuro sent in a pre-authorization form - I never heard anything.
