I am so upset right now. My insurance is denying coverage for one of the meds my pdoc prescribed and of course he's on vacay and won't be back until after the holiday weekend. Thankfully his office said they'd be willing to give me a sample pack that should hold me over until he returns. Anyone else ever have this happen with their insurance? How did you handle it?

When Invega first came out my insurance didn't cover it because it was so new. Thankfully my Pdoc kept ordering sample for me. She did that for about a year and a half, until insurance started covering it. I've heard you can also get your Pdoc to write a letter to the insurance company saying you've tried everything else and this is the only thing that might work. Then insurance will cover it under special circumstances.
