Anyone ever have success with an ED drug appeal?

Posted by utopizen on October 20, 2010, at 1:43:57

um, so... short of my doctor diagnosing me with the heart condition that Cialis is approved for under the brand as Arcadia(sp?), um, I was curious if anyone's had any luck with appealing with their doc and their insurance company about any rationale whatsoever for getting an ED drug in 30-day supply covered. Any? I use Medicare... Does that help with the appeals process?

I would imagine ED side effect is not valid enough, given ED alone is not valid? But, anyone aware of _anything_ that, well, is a rationale they've ever heard a drug company go along with?

Poor student; I'd like help/ideas... I don't have $500/month. =/

Does being poor help? What happened to insurance companies offering drugs for poor people to make us feel better? Is that not the case anymore?


I think I might talk to the Cialis benefits lady, and kind of tactfully ask her in a way what her experience has been for reasons that typically help for insurance companies... sigh. Please, God, let that recent patent suit over Cialis lose....

Perhaps there could be a non-Cialis solution. Many use a c-ring.
