Earlier, I was told by my new MD that he was replacing Actos with something else. He had to ask Blue Cross/Blue Shield for permission to prescribe this new drug. This new drug permission kept not coming in.
Well, it finally came in and I showed a copy of the Blue Cross/Blue Shield letter to Paul Krammer (the pharmacist) and he forwarded a request to my new MD for a prescription. Nothing happened.
I had to see my new MD a couple of day later about a different matter and he said he'd not gotten this note. Actually, he thought his prescription had gone through. (He was wrong.)
Yesterday, a took a copy of the BC/BS letter to his nurse and dropped it off.
Today, Paul told me he had not gotten a prescription. The nurse made the mistake of coming by me when I asked her if anyting had been done about the letter. She said she had given my MD"s nurse the note. (I watched her do this.)
I could not get more Actos as insurance will not start paying until 3 April. By 3 April, I should be on the new drug with this bullshit a forgotten "hiccup"., I hope!
