It seems their latest scheme is to only cover one manufacturer’s generic product, one specific NDC. If a different brand of the same generic is used, NOTHING is covered, not just a lesser %. Ie: patient needs generic Tylenol, patient gets CVS brand instead of Pfizer brand, sorry Charlie.
Check out the REMS program through the FDA. Talk about waste and abuse. It’s such an overreaching bureaucracy program it’s hard to even comprehend. If you are going to approve drugs, approve them. If they are too dangerous, DON’T!
In nursing school 30 years ago, we learned “PATIENT BEFORE PAPER!” Now, all we hear about is the coding mistakes we make, which changes EVERY DAY with no for-notice to the people doing the work. We find changes when we get denials. This doesn’t even skim the surface. Nurses don’t have time to take care of patients with all the stupid paperwork.
We started at a very low setting and worked up a bit. It was years ago but I still go back to the original settings when I’m feeling like I’m having a flair. It could totally be a placebo, but it works for me. I guess it’s all that matters.
I took one and it was like truth serum. I didn’t consider myself stupid before that day, but boy was I. You don’t know what you don’t know. I got very sick and have been screaming from rooftops sense that day. No one cared enough about me before then to waste a breath educating me on the corruption in this world. I found there are so many more like me I have been reaching every day. I agree fully on your statement. No one tried to reach me except the evil. I was never warned.
For the downvotes, are you siding with the excessive paperwork requirements?? Or the insurance company unannounced changes?
