[Diabetes-talk] update on Denial of Insulin Coverage

[cheryl echevarria]

I finally got my insulin. not to the help of the insurance company, who is not raising the premiums on my husband's insurance coverage at his company.

My doctor had to call the insurance company and put in an over ride to the right department because the insurance company gave me the wrong one and then they had to contact my mail order pharmacy company and do this as well.

I finally got my insulin Friday, I had to forego a few days of my lantus, making my readings reach over 300 some mornings.

I am writing this up for the New York State Affiliate and work on this with our local government and see what happens.  All depends on what happens after November 2nd, 2010 elections.

I do have a case work with Congressman Steve Israel's office but haven't heard a word from them, I will call on Monday and find out what is happening on there end.  I realize that I got my medication, but at the same time HIP is saying that the durable Medical supply company here on long island sent out this in the mail.

Explaining to them, I don't get my durable medical supplies from that company since my primary insurance is Medicare.  I also informed them that they sent out each month or every 3 months via e-mail when I need to refill a certain prescription but they cannot send me an e-mail that they are no longer covering a drug.

That makes no sense.


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