Hi my new best friends
I am wondering if anyone has gone up against United Health(no)Care about paying for Wellbutrin.
I have been on Wellbutrin since January 15th.
My doc gave me a bunch of samples and a script with 6 refills of 60 pills each.
United Health(NO)Care keeps on turning down paying for this drug.
They say we need a preauthorize and my doc calls that in and they say again we need the preauthorize. Now I can't get me doc to call a 3rd time, they are like sorry, we tried.
So I have this script that is worthless. To pay cash ($237) is out of the question, as my health care costs are reaching $1000 since January 2006 (Because of smoking)
I am now out of samples. I am depressed.......I really need the wellbutrin.
I am afraid I will fall off the wagon any minute now.
Any suggests how to get United Health(NO)Care to pay up??
OR any suggestions of a replacement drug United Health(NO)care will pay for or an herbal remedy that acts like wellbutrin??
Please don't suggest the patch, been off that for a couple of weeks and do not want to reintroduce nicotine to my body.
I know wellbutrin worked for me as I was sooo happy about my quit and had only a few cravings, now I am CONSTANTLY thinking about smoking and I am not HAPPY about the quit.
Oh also it was my primary doc who gave me the script. Yesterday I got a call from the lung doc office to come in today for the results of my lung biopsy. I asked them to just give me the results and they said it was against their policy. I believe it against them not wanting to pass up another $25 copay.
Also I had mentioned to the lung doc last appointment problem with the script, and I was about to run out but he didnt budge to help.
I see him at 2pm today (the lung doc)
Thanks!!
