our shitty healthcare

united healthcare is a bunch of ...hmm... insert long string of four letter words... 


i have to order my enbrel through the specialty pharmacy. pain in the ass. there's always some sort of problem or issue that comes up. last week i got the call to order my drug. don't get me started on all the damn styrofoam ice chests/dry ice packs/cardboard boxes that get sent to my house. because that is so cost effective...not to mention it comes UPS....yes cost effective. not going to walgreens 2 minutes away, noooo that's not cost effective and easy. noooo. 


seems UHC, medco, specialty pharmacy all think this is some sort of made up thing on my part and i don't need that much medicine. so according to these assholes they've rejected my RX for 50 ml of enbrel, but i can have 25ml. yes, because 100 ml a week to 50ml is the same thing. according to them. 


they say i've maxed out my (could happen to anybody really) allotment of 50 ml for the year. they don't believe anybody could be that bad off.


excuse the fuck out of me UHC/medco/specialty pharmacy.


when in hell were you in my dr's office? 


when in hell were you in my bedroom while i just laid in bed and didn't sleep because it hurt so much? 


when in hell did you get your MD? 


UHC never gave a fuck when they fucked up our co-pays and owed us money for the last oh...7/8 months. but yeah, deny the right dosage of medicine to somebody that needs it. sounds perfectly normal. assholes. 


so now i wait. endless phone calls to find out why and how to fix this, because in our insurance packet, there is no mention of not being able to get the same amount all year round. and they want to charge me if i get my normal dose. $397. and i've met all my deductibles. biggest fucking assholes. 


did i mention how much i hate UHC? did i mention how they're still processing claims from when i had thomas 2 years ago? i figure i'll still be getting this is not a bill bills when he's 5. 


maybe tomorrow, after a week of all this shit going on i'll be able to order my drug. maybe. 


the 25ml is also a syringe. wtf? this is so not going to go well. that's the only way it comes in that dosage. 


let my spots come back UHC, that will be your asses. i will call you everyday and tell you what complete fucktards you are and that i hope you die of some horrible slow painful disease. because hey, you're doing the same to me. 


literally.
