I just got a text from CVS saying that my Abilify is pending insurance approval. I started a new insurance at the beginning of the year and this hasn't happened before.

I'm terrified that if it's not approved, I will become unstable; it's the combination of Abilify and Lamictal (and Seroquel to keep me sleeping well) that has kept me miraculously stable for the last over 2 years now. I'm so scared...

So what do you do if your insurance does not approve a medication? I've never been through this before (of course I'm not sure that will happen, but I want to be prepared if it does). How to you appeal it? What is your pdoc's role in this? The pharmacy's role? What do I do?

Thanks...
