Guest guest Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 My name is and I live in Colorado. I have had RA for 5 years now and I am currently on MTX, Celebrex, prednisone and most recently added Humira. However, every treatment option that my rheumy recommends is met with obstacles from Pacificare. They hold up treatment due to " pre- authorizations " and charge me outrageous amounts for my co-pays. I pay them about $600.00 a month for healthcare insurance, yet they make me pay nearly that much a month in co-pays for my meds and make me jump through hoops before-hand. I am only able to work part-time now, yet it's not enough to pay for my meds any more. Is this normal? They do NOT seem to want to help me get better by letting me having more aggressive treatments as prescribed. I am in constant pain from the RA, as well as from Pacificare. Do I have any other options? Does everyone experience this? Any ideas would be appreciated! Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
