Dual insurance
Apr 4^th, 2010 at 7:14pm

Here's the deal. I got insured on my own for scripts starting in January, but wasn't sure when that would kick in ... so I kept hubby's insurance (which I pay out of pocket for). Anyways, I currently have two perscription plans ......... can I use both to fill for the same drug but not have the limitation of one insurance company affect the other.

In other words ... my company limits me to two shots of imitrex. Hubby's company limits me to two shots of imitrex. Can I get four shots since I have two plans ????

You probably can, but laws in each state differ, so you will need to check with them to be sure. Why don't you get oxygen. You probably won't have to worry about the trex then. Jerry

Barb. they did that. But when I called today to find out where they were with it, the girl on the phone told me to be patient ... you know, it takes a few days. I hung up on her ........ guess I shouldn't have called right after getting hit with a good one. I was still crying and thought .. omg, I can't do this. My bad. I see the doc tomorrow, so I'm gonna try and hold out with the 02 until then. Then I'll just cry like a baby.

In the past Imitrex inj, maxalt mlt, and now the air injection triptan have all been sampled. ALSO, if your Primary Care Physician has a decent relationship with a Merck rep, you might be able to get a coupon or two for discount or free Maxalt MLT.

You need to ask and have a CH friendly doc!

You've overstayed your welcome since the day we met but it doesn't seem to matter to you. No medications are your master, nothing makes you fret, it's a helpless feeling having nothing I can do
