Insurance is stupid (a rant)

Hahahaha! I love your last sentence. And that is absolutely ridiculous they said they would cover the medicine but not the infusion itself!!! My insurance company recently sent some form to my GI asking if I could take generic Delzicol. The doctor's office called to ask me if this is okay. I've already been taking the generic Delzicol for over a year, probably over two years now, so I don't know what my insurance company is up to or if they were just confused. Who I absolutely despise dealing with is Walgreens Alliance Rx -- the specialty pharmacy my insurance requires I go through. They are the most incompetent people to work with. You can call and one person will tell you something and then it never happens so you have to call back and you speak to another person who acts like you had never called the first time. And it's like that almost every single time I have to call to get my meds refilled.

Keith - I'm switching because Entyvio just wasn't doing much, except making me hurt all over.

The infusion center was at my Dr.'s office, who is definitely in network.

I wouldn't just kick it to the curb vindictively (nor would I think any decent doctor would approve that) as there aren't that many options left to try. I gave Entyvio a year and half run but happy to be done. My last infusion was the end of December so I am 6+ weeks out and I feel better now than I have in years!

I must agree....insurance offer some crazy 'solutions' to our med. needs. I still think that the insurance companies should stick with insurance and not practicing medicine. Just my opinion
