+ 1 Dealing with doctor and my medical insurance and my insulin

ad

I had called in today to change my novolin-R to humalog (rapid acting insulin) for my diabetes.
They said that my insurance didn't cover it but its on the list on the site so I have to call these jackasses back tomrrow and go through a whole prescription change with the doctor and authorization from the insurance to the pharmacy.

Anyone else dealt with this before?
Insulin is a medical necessity to my health and I cannot eat without it, and these assholes could possible keep me waiting for up to a week.

Good RX is great! There are other apps out there with free coupons too. Try googling your state and medical coupons, and sometimes your state gives discounts for medications. I pasted an example for Nebraska. Just google your home state.

Try the goodrx app. I have a prescription for a lotion for my scalp that I actually get cheaper running through that vs through my insurance. Weird I know but give it a shot

I use good rx for my walmart test cyp.

If I ran the script through my insurance it's 130 for a months supply. Which lasts about three months. Ran through goodrx is 18 bucks.

Yep, same here. I pay about 12$ a month for my cypionate with good rx coupon.

Between Medicare and GoodRX I pay $24 for a 90 day supply (15 little vials@ 1ml x 200mgml).
Before Medicare I was paying $105ish for 3 vials of 10ml x 200mg/ml Watson with a GoodRX coupon.

Update:
It is now $24 for 24 1ml vials of 200mg/ml (a 90 day supply),...... seems the 1ml vials are now single use vials, so 1 draw/vial and your done. I'm not going to tell them that I could have reduced time between injection to reduce the number of vial and save waste. That would be inappropriate to a gear hoarder like me. LOL

Goodrx walmart, 10mg of cipla was 52$ a couple days ago.

$31.50 at Freddies and $37.00 @ Walgreens with GoodRX here,...... prices may vary by Zip code.
Those are coupon only prices ,....no insurance needed.
