In reply to Generic Pristiq anyone?, posted by B2chica on March 4, 2013, at 13:42:13
so i started calling my ins company. turns out BCBS doesn't cover my Rx. It is CareMark.
so i finally got through to them and it turns out that they are not covering pristiq anymore, and they suggest that i change AD (YES! the INS company is now becoming my pdoc) and told me to change to either Effexor, venelfaxine (generic effexor), or cymbalta....SERIOUSLY???
i told them that i've been on MANY MANY medications and this is the only one that is working...
so they said that i could have my pdoc call an 800 number to try to get 'prior authorization' but the guy told me it could take anywhere from 5min, to 7 days to get a response, AND they still may not approve that.I've only got about 7 days left of pristiq!
so i'm calling my pdoc office in about 10 min.
wish me luck, this is the WORST possible time for and AD change! all you know my job situation...
b2c.....sorry but DAMN insurance company!
