My health insurance company thinks I vacation too much

October 19th, 2007 at 04:01 am

They will not advance me an extra pack of Yaz - they only give one each month, and do not care that I will run out while abroad. Frown

They advance 1 per year, and I already used that in July when I went abroad for a company programme.

So now I have to fork over 60$ to buy Yaz at the market rate. But they do not suspend my insurance premiums while I go abroad - I still pay these.

This is such a moronic policy -- it is not like I am asking for an advance of painkillers or something "controlled".

And I have to buy it -- because you cannot just go on and off hormonal birth control - it stresses and confuses the body.

    Do you deal with one pharmacy regularly? Try speaking to the pharmacist and see if he/she will dispense the pills and just not submit the claim until it is due to be refilled. The big chains may not do that but the independent guys often will.

    I had that issue with my insurance too. But then I started using the mail order prescription service... it gives me 3 months at a time, PLUS is cheaper. Do you have that option?

    Useful advice for next time, thanks.

    As I am leaving tomorrow, won't be able to do it now.

    I always wondered about recommendations to make sure your home emergency/evacuation supplies included an extended supply of your prescription meds.
