Guest guest Posted June 14, 2001 Report Share Posted June 14, 2001 Alley, The lady will e-mail you back with info on it. Don't know if you need it though, your doing good and I pray you stay that way. Also, on that Medicine Program I have heard it works good, but takes 1 to 2 months. But, I have also found out Physicians have applications for free or reduced meds from the different Pharmaceutical houses for their specific drugs. It is for indigent, uninsured, underinsured etc..... Ask your Doc if he has the apps, or maybe his secy. If they don't your local Health Department might. Hope this helps. Take Care, Connie > thanks I wouldn't mind doing the study would love more > info, I'm in the dallas area > > __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've gotten meds more than once this way when whatever the doc was prescribing wasn't on my insurances " formulary " . One even called the drug rep and had him bring over some more samples so I'd have enough. This doesn't work well if you're needing a medication long term, but for a couple of weeks it can get you by.

Guest guest Posted June 20, 2001 Report Share Posted June 20, 2001 Pat, oddly enough they do most the time. Stronger meds were no longer helping. Try them again, the first few times they didn't help me but Doc Aguila had me try them again. They help the most I have noticed if I take them and then run a hot tub of water while I am sitting in it (can stand hotter that way), and also when I am laying down and my legs hurt so bad that I just can't lay still and I take a couple I will see relief. Don't know if this is RLS or just aches and pains. They don't seem to work in the same way as the hydocodone and stuff, I guess they are a different formulary...Good Luck Pat..Take Care, Connie PS: Sometimes I take 3 or 4 it all depends on if the first 2 work. We need stronger doses of meds. --- Alley/Pat <alleypat@...> wrote: > Connie, does the Ultram help you? __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 20, 2001 Report Share Posted June 20, 2001 The Government entity in FL, that I formerly worked for went to United Health of FL, 10/01/99, I was terminated 9/29/99 so I never used it. I have heard they just stayed with them 1 or 2 years though. Never heard no pros or cons about it, maybe others have. Actually I do remember one thing my combo was going to be a co-pay every 2 weeks. The Cigna ins. I was on, was just a monthly co-pay.......Good Luck, Connie > We will be using United Health in Texas a PPO, > anyone used it? > > alley > > > __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 24, 2001 Report Share Posted June 24, 2001 Alley We have a PPO Insurance also through where I work and we have a $15.00 co pay for doctors appts. and then we pay 10% of hospital tests ect so it works out pretty good for us thank goodness. We do have to go to network doctors as they call them but so far all the good doctors we have seen have been on the network list. We are very thankful for this. Thats means that I can't change jobs though even if I wanted to because when I got new Insurance they would call his Hep C pre-existing and I bet everyone out there has heard that word before.
