I was at the pcp last week and got a new script for more test strips, being a type 2 diabetic besides being a heart person. The pharmacy put the order in right, then took it out, then put in wrong, took it out. Called the doctor, without consulting me, said later that the doctor changed it to once a day, out it in for 100 days, test once a day, wrong again. Then I come back to the pharmcy, they tell me about the test strips co-pay is $101.00. Shocked, i told them that was wrong, they asked me several times how make times I test, I said twice a day for a 100 strip, 30 day supply. Then they suggest testing once a day. I just wanted to get out of there. Several days later, since this took place over the Labor day weekend, I could do nothing till. Tuesday. I emailed the insurance company. Nothing came back. Then on Wednesday, I called the insurance company, they told me what happend. Then I went back the the pharnacy to get the rest of the test strips. The person there played dumb. Then I left and came back later to see the orginal script. It said as directed, before all the mistakes were, made. The manager was there then and corrected the mess, made up the difference with calling the insuance company. I stood up to the people who cannot admit they made a mistake. My doctor's nurse said the doctor told them that she would have to go back several years to know how many times i was to test. They shoudl have asked me before all the chaos. I lost one night sleep over this. I understand the problems everyone has had with getting their medications filled correctly. I feel empowered for standing up and getting this corrected. I have tested twice a day since diagnoises, and do not want to endanger my heart or my health in general. I just had to share this to anyone who has problems with their pharmacy, do not be afraid to speak up. I did and I feel great. Thanks!:thumbup:
