Excuse Me....but are insurance companies stupid???

I recently posed about not being able to get my prescription filled for the Imitrex injections because of the insurance company not allowing me but 6 per month. I have found thru this site this is very common. I just got home from the hospital ER where I just receive an injection, and will probably be going back every night until I can get my prescription refilled in 3 weeks! Is it just me or does everyone else think these insurance companies are totally stupid? They will not pay for the injections, but they will pay an ER to give me one of theirs every night! STUPID! STUPID! STUPID! ???

Stupid? Hell yes! Dont make sense to me either.
Cant hurt to ask, but next time your at the ER, ask them if they have any sample imitrex injects for you. Might keep you away for a few days.

Try this,
I got this from the OUCH web site
Need More Imitrex?
If you need more Imitrex then your insurance company will provide and your doctor is willing to prescribe it, you can contact Glaxo Smith Kline directly, They have a division called "Reimbursement Resource Center" ( the name implies you have to pay up front, but that is not the case), Call them at 1-800-745-2967 option #4, give them the information they ask for, your doctor's name & number, insurance company info, etc. and they will assign you a case worker who will contact you insurance company and hopefully get them to increase the number of doses.
