"We'll Never Get to Heaven..."

NOT in a very good frame of mind.

I called the insurance company this morning, and honestly the lady was very nice -- she called down to the pre-auth dept. to figure out why I still didn't have my meds, and figured out that it's because my (3) 75 mg caps a day (i.e. one prescription) are more expensive to the insurance company than (1) 150 mg and (1) 75 mg caps a day (two prescriptions, so more expensive for me personally). Which they didn't TELL ME, of course, they just refused to authorise my scrip for over a week.

Soooo she also found out that it would be about thirty dollars cheaper to do my meds through mail-order, so she gave me the number to have my doctor fax and gave me all the info for that, so I called Dr. C and got that arranged, BUT that means I don't get those in the mail for another eight days, even if they're marked urgent. That means I still have to pay out of pocket for the meds to cover me for that time period.

So theoretically I need to do that to-day, but I'm almost too depressed. x___x

However, I also have to go into town to xerox forms for my insurance claim for the x-rays I had in April, so I'll be there anyway, so I'll probably stop by the pharmacy and sell my soul while I'm in the vicinity. To soothe my wounded sense of justice, I am making my fourth batch of cupcakes, which I will give to the library ladies, I figure.

Anyway, I can't leave until my cupcakes finish and I repackage the pork from the butcher's into smaller portions for the freezer. Daddy says I can use the chicken scale if I can find it.

If I really were Mycroft Holmes, right now I would be having everyone deported left and right. Seriously. Argh.

AUUUUUGH. Why can't they just SORT THESE THINGS OUT THEMSELVES, as if you give a good goddamn how many pills you take at a time.

*snuggles you up*

Don't even ASK me how something that requires me to fill two different prescriptions is cheaper for my insurance company than something that requires one -- I don't get it at ALL, much the way I don't get why they couldn't have just said that in the first place instead of telling my doctor that they'd authorise the scrip later every time she called in. Frankly, I don't mind paying the extra nearly as much as I mind being cut off for no apparent reason. I mean, with one of the old insurances, the single scrip was thirty-five dollars, and this is still less than that. I JUST WANT MY MEDS. That's the most important thing!

Seriously. It's like, FINE, put it in whatever way works for you, it's not like we care as long as we get what we're prescribed, don't make US figure out the arcane details because you're a bunch of hairsplitting moneygrubbing fuckers. >:O!!!

ahem.

mmm, popsicle!

...all right, I actually have to stop fooling around in the library and run to the pharmacy now. ._. Playtime's over etc etc.

See you to-night!

My GOD, are they all IDIOTS. You would think that, being in an industry GEARED TOWARD HEALTH, they would recognize that MEDICINES ARE IMPORTANT AND PEOPLE SHOULD HAVE THEM.

If war breaks out unexpectedly in an obscure country, we'll know the reason.
