Insurance roadblock (Read 1663 times)

inyoureye CH.com Alumnus Offline Thank you to the site owners/creators Posts: 121 x1\|east greenwich\|USA\|usa\|522\|92\|RI,Rhode_Island Gender:	Insurance roadblock May 7^th, 2009 at 3:40pm I tried to search with no luck, but can someone link me to the step by step directions for getting the insurance company to pay for the amount of trex I actually need. They pay for 8 shots per 30 days, I need roughly 1/day. Thanks in advance

Have you ever considered switching to oxygen as your primary abortive? It is safe, effective, cheaper, and a lot less taxing on your body than Imitrex. Since I switched, I only use a shot of 'trex about once a month ... Chuck

Thanks Bob Wink

Hmmm, very interesting! I went through this with the place that I work at (I transport developmentally disabled adults), and therefore I had to confirm it's safety. Checeked out CalOsha, D.O.T., etc. Found out that there were NO restrictions. I carry an E tank onboard - as I get hit up during transport. I simply pull off the road and use my O2. Is it more of a company policy thing??

Don't just aim high, hit the target!

Have you ever tried the imitrex tip on the side? It makes one dose of trex last for two or even three attacks, if you can measure it correctly. It really works for me and you should try it. If you need one dose a day, and you get eight days worth, it can make your trex last for 16 or even 24 days if youre careful.

good luck,
chrisw
