no this is something to be aware of with your prescriptions and what your rights are.  It is happening with my insurance company, not all and I hope not all insurance companies will got through this.

The biggest compliment you can pay me is to recommend my services!

  Is this something I need to share with my doctor?
  I would need something in writing, so that he could see information on paper.
  So far I am finishing up what I have.
