pulling my hair out!!! GRRRR

[Guest guest]

this is a serious " vent " ~~ i know no one has the answer, but i need to kick and

scream to people who will understand.

so, i get the friendly message on my answering machine on saturday

" kdjafkldsjafjkdas;lkdjffkljasdlfkfjasd;lfjdsafj please call

asdkfjl;kasdjljksadlfkjasdl " . great. i have NO CLUE what the message said or

the number i'm supposed to call back, but the caller ID said " CAREMARK " so i

know its the specialty pharmacy for my xolair.

i end up online looking for their number and called it. the rep on the phone

told me i'm not registered with them. WHAT??? i was holding an EOB from my

insurance stating my BCBS sent CAREMARK a $9000 check in jan for my meds -- how

am i not registered? i've been getting my xolair through them for over a year!

the guy on the phone tells me that due to he medicaid changes blah blah blah, we

have to be registered (i'm sure i missed something there). the way he made it

sound was that i was going to have to go through the registration/approval

process again - AHHHHHHHHHHH!

the rep claims he'll call my dr (b/c i don't know how much xolair they have on

hand for me) tomorrow and then call me. once my case gets to the approval board

( or something like that) and gets approved, they can determine any changes in

copay (AHHH -- right now i pay NONE) and ship it out. this makes no sense,

since caremark is just the vendor my BCBS deals with.

anyone else's vendor change policies like this? the idea of any changes to

my xolair makes me nervous!!!! this weekend, i was outside doing yardwork and

such, without too many issues -- before xolair, a weekend like that would have

knocked me out for the entire week!!!

,

There are a couple of possibilities, including some type of change

in the contract BCBS has with Caremark. Call your doctor's office

and tell them and ask the Doctor's office to call Caremark and find

out what's going on.

Good luck - let us know what happens.
