Guest guest Posted June 10, 2007 Report Share Posted June 10, 2007 Thank you, Pat. How do I check my qualifications? I haven't heard anything from my dr's nurse since she said she was calling my insurance company. And, I really would like to get out of paying too much out-pocket since we are retired. I feel like I'm being left out in the dark right now. Will someone talk to me about all this? Perhaps, when I go to class?

Guest guest Posted June 10, 2007 Report Share Posted June 10, 2007 I signed a release form in GA, when I started giving my own allergy shots. Otherwise I was tied to the dr's office weekly for shots. If I give my own, I could travel and still get my shots on time. Maybe that's totally different from this, though. I hope they don't ask me to sign a release for for tx.

Guest guest Posted June 10, 2007 Report Share Posted June 10, 2007 Thank you . I think we will look into Medicaid, after I find out what my insurance will pay on my treatment, if I need to. I appreciate all the help I have received on this. Hugs <kcpapa2@...> wrote: Vickie, Medicaid is state aid and based on income not age. Medicare is federal government and based on age or disability. I've had Medicare since I was 48 years old. You only have to have a low income to get help from Medicaid. Re: Vickie I thought the age was 65 unless you are on disability. How did u do that again?

Guest guest Posted June 10, 2007 Report Share Posted June 10, 2007 If you are going on Pegassist through Roch you can call.877-734-2797 or go on line to www.pegassist.com . Other companies and phone should be listed on computer I would think. They do the checking they contact insurance to see what deductible you have and your income etc. At my class we were told by instructor we could apply at company whoever was doing the type of meds we needed. All of us at this place all go through Roche. hugs..wwVickie Gray <onelildeltagirl@...> wrote: Thank you, Pat. How do I check my qualifications?

Guest guest Posted June 10, 2007 Report Share Posted June 10, 2007 So, it doesn't matter who my dr. sets me up with? I have no idea which company he uses. I wish I had asked these kinds of questions on my last visit. I just didn't think about it. Shouldn't I wait and find out who I'm set up with? It may be Roach. And, if it is, I can always call them regarding any additional help that I need. I'll have to think about it. I may call the dr's office tomorrow and ask some questions.

Guest guest Posted June 11, 2007 Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 An Epipen is a pre-filled syringe, but it is a specific medication (epinephrine) for an allergic reaction. I have to carry one in case I have a reaction to my allergy shots. My Pegasys came in prefilled syringes and it was great – no mixing, no filling, just pop the cap and shoot. Or maybe I had to attach the needle then shoot, I can’t remember, but it was so easy. I also did a marketing survey on the pen and it seemed pretty easy too. You just have to get over the idea of giving yourself a shot. It’s a tiny needle and doesn’t hurt. /De Re: Vickie Oh, that makes sense. Are the the prefilled syringes or the Epipens? If it's the Epipen, I dread it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 11, 2007 Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 For me, it was the insurance company that controlled where my meds came from. They had a special division that dealt with that kind of stuff. The doc faxed the order to the specialty pharmacy and they shipped my meds Fed Ex on ice once a month. I called for a refill the day I did my 3rd shot out of each shipment. Sometimes they require a signature, so I had them ship to my office. I had a friend that they accidentally shipped to his house and they left at the front door. He goes in the garage and didn’t know his stuff had arrived for two days. Luckily, it wasn’t ruined yet by the time he found it. Also, you can call Pegassist and ask for a new patient kit and (at least they used to) they’ll send stuff like a how-to video, a travel pack for your shots if you have to take it with you, a pill box for your riba, an eye pillow ice pack that was great, different cool stuff. /De Re: Vickie So, it doesn't matter who my dr. sets me up with?

Guest guest Posted June 11, 2007 Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 Lucky lazy buggers that you are. I had to use one syringe too mix the water into the powder & then another one to injsct the interferon. Of course that was back in the day when I was walking six miles to school each day, uphill both ways, while pulling a sled with my younger brothers & sisters in it.

Guest guest Posted June 11, 2007 Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 Yes, I carry an Epipen also for allergy shot reactions. (Just in case) I always hope I don't have to use it cause the idea of hitting myself in the thigh hard enough for the pen to discharge bothers me. And, my husband would be no help. (Weak stomach and all). I have no problem with giving myself the allergy shots with a regular syring. However, I know that the allergy shot and the treatment shots are totally different from each other. I know I can do it, though. I read online where they do use the Epipen for these shots. And, I was wondering cause I read from other members that they get dollar-size spots where they give themselves the shot, if that was why. Hugs.

Guest guest Posted June 11, 2007 Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 What wonderful information. You have answered a lot of my questions. Thank you. Will Pegasist send a starter kit even if Roach is not the company that is sending my meds? I joined Pegasist a couple of weeks ago. Couldn't get in unless I lied about my tx start date. It seams you have to actually be on treatment to get in. But, haven't actually started visiting them yet. Thanks a bunch.
