AUGH!!! insurance companies suck

[GutlessWonder86]

Why do drug insurance companies make it their mission in life to be the hemorrhoid I never had?

I just wanted to get things in order before 1/1/11 to avoid headaches as I have new drug coverage but NOOOOOOOOOOO the idiot company won't transfer my current scripts so ALL of my doctors have to call in new ones yet AGAIN.

My Lovenox is a tier 3--the most important drug of all that keeps my blood from clotting so I don't have another stroke. It's a generic and approved already by my hematologist from last year, so what's the @#%$! problem? No, I don't want it mail order so it sits in the snow where I live or gets knocked over by the plow in my mailbox and crushed. I want to pick it up at the pharmacy like I did last year as the dosage changes every 6 months.

I found out from my pharmacist that Medco outsources their customer service and if I call them again (I pray I don't have to)I should insist on talking to someone who speaks English the next time I call them. Lovely.

For the amount of $$$ my poor husband has to pay, you'd think his company would've gotten a plan that supports American jobs. :eek2: thanks for letting me vent.

Sorry about your situation. My mother pays $450 a month for my insurance and and even then the medical visit copay, prescription copay, and terms are outrageous. Come to find out they didn't pay for an Oncologist consultation that happened when they were trying to figure out what was wrong with me when I was bleeding to death. Now I owe over a thousand dollars for a Doctor to come up look at my chart and say, "Nope, it's not cancer." With that bill my medical debt has passed the $50k mark.

So, you're not alone when it comes to being pissed off at insurance companies.
