HappyPlatypus's Journal

So I got a Dear Todd letter today, which is like a Dear John letter, only worse, because it's addressed to me.

:)

This one was from my insurance company, which said that it's really happy to serve me. I immediately dropped the letter and ran back to the mailbox, because after reading that doozy, I was convinced that there must be a check in the mail.

:)

But nope. No check. And in its letter, the insurance company announced that, and I quote, "to pass on additional savings to you, our valued customer," it had switched specialty pharmacies through which I would receive my Copaxone for my M.S.

My specialty pharmacy was breaking up with me. And we had only been going steady since March!

The only problem is, the new pharmacy couldn't start until after August 1, after I ran out of Copaxone, and the old pharmacy wouldn't renew my prescription to last me until the new pharmacy could start. So it looked like I was going to have a treatment gap.

But in good news, the new pharmacy doesn't participate in the Shared Solutions free co-play plan, so now, the Copaxone I have been getting for free will cost me $50 a month. You know, once I start getting it, after a month's delay.

If this is my insurance company's idea of saving me money, I really hope they stop with the cost cutting already!

Now, I believe it was a wise Greek philosopher who once crooned, "I'm so excited, and I just can't hide it, I'm about to lose control and I ..." no, wait, that was Madonna. I get them confused.

 Methinks tomorrow will involve a lot of phone calls. Sigh.
