Medicine Woes
I take Rebif for my multiple sclerosis. It’s a thrice-weekly injection that I give myself.
Several weeks ago, I saw that I was running low. So I called the pharmacy that fills it, and they found the first problem. My prescription had expired and they had to get a new one from the doctor’s office. That took a week or so. My doctor’s office is terribly inefficient. Then I got in touch with the pharmacy and they tell me that the insurance is rejecting it because they need a prior authorization. The doctor’s office took forever getting that done, too.
Everything seems to depend on getting the doctor’s office to move, and these people just suck. I’m seeing the new neurologist in a few weeks, and for that, I’m very happy.
I’ve mentioned before that my old doctors’ offices were at the BU Medical Center. It’s not in the best neighborhood. The doctors are decent but their support staffs suck. A friend of mine referred to it as “hiring girls from the neighborhood.” Unfortunately, he has a point.
At this point, the meds will ship tomorrow, and I’ll be injecting again on Wednesday night.
Very informative .. thank you
