I trusted my wife’s sister when we gave her a loan for 5K USD…until I didn’t. That money would have doubled twice since then. I am bitter. I could use the 20K today. My wife lost a sister because the sister can no longer face us after stealing the money. If you are going into this not ever expecting the money back thats fine. Also, have you considered some of these family members may be using the money factor as an excuse not to go? I admittedly do not know your family dynamics….good luck!
Dick, great explanation of the process you have gone through and why Good Rx many times does not save money for the patient with insurance.
Most pharmacies, especially independents, should offer to process the prior authorization(appeal) on your behalf. You should not have to call the Part D plan yourself. It is an automated process coordinated by a third party between the pharmacy, your healthcare provider, and the insurance company.
