psalm_onethirtyone: (Try Again To-morrow)

"Pennsylvania Guys are Unforgettable..."

Dear My Insurance Company:

Congratulations! You have proved your sagacity. The fact that I have taken the same medication every day for the last four years might convince a lesser mind that I actually need it, but you in your wisdom have seen through that ruse. As you have guessed, my medication is purely an extraneous expense that I continue to pay monthly in the hopes of making you, too, suffer the associated financial loss.

Someone else might just accept that since three different doctors have signed off on its necessity said medicine might just as well be purchased, but you, Insurance Company, understand that action is called for in these situations. That is why you have taken the bold step of cutting me off.

It is now my third day without medication, but I am still alive, proving beyond a doubt that I do not need it to survive. The symptoms of nausea, vertigo, migraine, and increased weeping are merely psychosomatic effects of withdrawal that will soon fade. Despite the fact that my job involves protracted stretches of car travel, I am sure that I will not endanger myself or anyone else by driving while dizzy. Within a few weeks, everything should be fine, and it will be obvious that you have made the right decision.

Or I'll be dead, I guess.

Thank you for your prompt and thoughtful actions!

Very little love,
Soujin

Dear Pharmacy Man:

Thank you for fronting me two days' worth of my meds. ;___; I feel a bit less like I'm going to die now. You are a good man.

I need to call my doctor again and ask her to yell at them. I thought we had already cleared up the prior-auth issue, but APPARENTLY NOT.

Soooo the doctor apparently faxed and called them, saying it was urgent, and they said that they would try to get it sorted out in the next twenty-four hours. SO if I'm lucky they'll be in to-morrow. If I'm not, I have to wait until Monday, because Sunday I have a 9 to 9 shift at work.

Let's not mention the part where my doctor ALREADY called them back on TUESDAY to say that I needed my meds because I was out, and they said okay and then DIDN'T NOTIFY THE PHARMACY.

Dude, what the actual fuck. :/ That's not cool in any universe. I hope you get it resolved soon, lover. ;3;

Also, this may be out of place, but happy birthday!

Also also, tag.

This is my life, idek. I get them to-morrow, apparently.

Thank you! ^__^

Also, back at you. <3

Oh, no! *hug* You can make it through this -- is this a result of the deletion of your files, or is it the insurance company being just plain old awful?

[identity profile] rainbowjehan.livejournal.com 2011-05-27 06:22 pm (UTC)(link)
No, it's just the insurance company being dumb. The deletion of my files was at the eye doctors. XD

get frames at least as cute as the ones in your most recent pictures.

I love my frames! If I could just get the lenses replaced I would.

WHAT. Why, YES, insurance company, a couple hundred dollars a year SHOULD be in your pocket at a rate of a couple bucks per employee rather than going to pay for someone else's much-needed medicine. HowEVER did you imagine otherwise. *ANTICAPITALIST SMASH!*

[identity profile] rainbowjehan.livejournal.com 2011-05-27 06:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeahhhh. They said I can get them to-morrow, maybe. That was after my doctor sent them an URGENT URGENT message saying I was dying.

*destroys everything*

I am really, really frustrated, Kate.

[identity profile] dreamer-easy.livejournal.com 2011-05-27 09:28 pm (UTC)(link)
I missed a bit. *destroys it*

[identity profile] dreamer-easy.livejournal.com 2011-05-27 09:45 pm (UTC)(link)
*sound of nukes going off in background* Any chance that ER or GP can supply some as a stopgap?

btw, sue the crap out of your insurance company. Also, move to a decent pinko nation with actual healthcare.

[identity profile] rainbowjehan.livejournal.com 2011-05-27 09:58 pm (UTC)(link)
The pharmacy fronted me enough for to-day, and the insurance company said I would probably have them to-morrow, so with any luck that will happen. >_< I am sad.

That's because that video is awesome.

[identity profile] eremon-lass.livejournal.com 2011-05-27 07:56 pm (UTC)(link)
I will go personally punch them in their collective face for you. Good grief.

[identity profile] eremon-lass.livejournal.com 2011-05-27 10:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Also, I am a horrible person and did not write birthday!fic BEFORE your actual birthday. SO, pick your poison and I will write belated!fic.

Not that this helps with the meds issue, but still.

As long as you don't mind something ever so slightly sacreligeous... >:D

I am SO THERE.

DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD: That is appalling. I hope it will be resolved quickly, because DDDDD:

ahahahaha. nope!

[identity profile] theoriginalspy.livejournal.com 2011-05-28 04:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Your insurance company is clearly the dumbest thing ever.

There is nothing I can do but shake my fist in rage at their stupidity. I wish I could do more.

IT GETS WORSE. I am currently posting the updated situation.
