Well again I spent far too much time on the phone with Steve's Part D medication insurance. I HATE that they can dictate which meds they will and will not cover, Even with Doctors office filing out paperwork and sending copies of true medical need, they can and will deny. I ask each time for a copy of there Medical Degree , Of course the customer service people do not understand what I am saying,Clueless..

Trust me I have looked into every possible patient assistance program and coupons etc.. Because he has Medicare due to being on SSDI there is NO help..

Anyway they said the COPD inhaler Incruse Ellipta is the the alternative. So I called the Pulmo office and left a message to have the Doctor send the script for that to the Pharmacy.. I have no idea if it will work or not.. But we will give it a try. I do have the application completed thru a foundation that Spriva is on the list of what they can hopefully help people get. It will require the Pulomo office to complete a rather lengthy page..

Tomorrow Steve a I both have an Appt with our Doctor for a followup.

Steve has made a slight improvement, His eyes are not dull and dead looking if that makes sense to anyone. His ability to just walk is very poor due to loss of muscle tone. So Ive made a plan to daily increase his activity physically, Which has to be done in the house. Its far to hot and humid for him to try anything outside.

Maybe ill get one day soon when I don't have calls to make or working on how to balance our meals to get his blood sugar levels in the best control possible. I will fight to the death to improve every aspect of my husbands health and well being. I am very grateful that I do have the mass amount of Medical knowledge to work with and the full understanding of how medication insurance works.

I do not care what anyone says Covid and insurance companies ability to dictate what testing and medications they will " allow" people access too is truly population control and no one will ever change my mind on that.
