The life that we live

Ok well today I am bitching about my insurance company. I went to the doctors on the 20th because I have been going through some real manic times and I don’t want to hit a low because those really mess up my world. So any way I went in and the doc and I agreed I needed a medication change. He prescribed something that would help with the mania and would also eliminate two of my other medications, which is always a good thing since I am a walking pharmacy. I went to the pharmacy to pick up my prescription which I am begining to desperately need and the pharmacist tells me that it is a medication that needs a preauthorization from the doctor. Sounds easy enough, I call the doctor and tell him and he sends it in the same day to the insurance company. Fine so it should be taken care of in the next day or two, right? Well I go back to the pharmacy to find out that it is still not approved. This goes on until yesterday, when I finally call the insurance company. They are giving me the run around. “Well you have to call the pharmacy because they didn’t send the information right”. The pharmacy sent the preauth in several times, I was there when they did it and I can’t imagine they did it wrong every time. They are not that incompetent. Now I waited on hold for 19 minutes and 38 seconds yesterday just to hear this. Yes I did keep track, being manic I had nothing better to do. Now I have to call them again today, using my minutes on my cell phone because of their screw up!! I am sooooooo frustrated. Ok so that is my Bitching session, will let you know how it goes when I know something.
