Have you had your doctor call them to tell them why you need that amount? It won't do anything if you call, of course, but if your doctor's office does and words it right - it can be just like a prior authorization.

You could also see if you can have your doctor write you the script for the 1600mcg, and then make up the difference with a different script with the 800mcg or 1200mcg. Or, write the number you'll be covered for the Actiq, and see if they can make up the rest with Fentora.
