Fed Up

With it all. I am tired of my fucking RE's office. I am tired of my fucking insurance company. Is there a reason it has taken 58 god damn emails to get an authorization and a prescription filled?

It all started Friday when I called the pharmacy to see if they were shipping the drugs this week. They said they were still waiting on an authorization from the insurance company. I proceed to call them and they give me the wrong number to the specialty pharmacy who is suppose to approve the order. So I call again today, get the right number and they inform me that the RE's office needs to approve the prescription with the insurance company first before they can release approval to the pharmacy. So now I am dealing with my RE. I am just so annoyed and then on top of it my husband is like, "why are you getting so mad about it?" How about because I am tired of dealing with these people.  And how about because you don't have to, so please allow me to be mad. UGGH! I want to punch something.

Thank God I have acupuncture later. My blood pressure needs to come down.

UPDATE: After a lovely nurse at the RE's office was on a 40 minute call with the insurance company, it seems one of the insurance company nurses need to approve the prescription for it to be released to me. I  spoke to a nice lady there who assured me they are expediting this and they will follow-up with me tomorrow.

Hubby and I are fine. We hashed it out over lunch and he is dealing with my madness.

Much more zen now after acupuncture. And she did give me a few extras in the wrists for anxiety.

  1. I know this sounds really odd, but sometimes I glad we dont have infertility coverage. It has saved us alot of time and going back in forth with insurance/RE office. Tell you acupuncturist to put an extra anxiety needle in for you. Seriously though, I hope all of this gets straightened out. Good luck!

  2. I've had people tell me over and over how lucky I am to have IF coverage, but what they don't realize I'd the enormous amount of work and stress that comes with it. It is a constant battle, and while I do fully understand how lucky I am- it was a total pain in the ass! Good luck- I know how frustrating the dance between RE, insurance and pharmacy can be!!!

  3. Ohhh man I remember all that. I worked in a classroom too, so I was constantly having to sneak out and take breaks to call the RE and the pharmacies! It was SUCH a pain in the ass. It literally took days to just get one little thing of meds approved and shipped. Like we didn't have enough to stress and worry about right? Im so sorry you are having to deal with that. Hang in there girl. xo

  6. Its stories like this that make me more mad that we all don't have IF coverage. While I didn't have coverage, I was lucky to have all my meds ordered smoothy and just assumed its was bc the pharmacies couldn't wait to get ahold of my credit card!
    Hoping the issues are none from here on out!!!
