MORONS RUN THE WORLD
The people who run insurance company prescription plans are FUCKING IDIOTS.
I've been fighting for three days to get the prescription for Wellbutrin that MY DOCTOR PRESCRIBED FOR ME. First it was denied because the extended-release form isn't covered. Fine. Let's go to non-extended release. Denied: has to be available in a generic form.
Fine. Generic, non-extended release Wellbutrin.
Denied. Try something cheaper. Like Zoloft. Which has already stopped working for me.
Denied again. Reason? Wellbutrin is practically like Zoloft anyway, the insurance company says. And if Zoloft doesn't work on you, there's no reason for us to pay for Wellbutrin. Go away, they say.
And my doctor's office is closed for the day. So I am shit out of luck until Monday, unless I want to pay cash for the scrip, which opens up the whole barrel of laughs that is applying for reimbursement. WHERE DO I START.
I looked it up . . . chemically, Wellbutrin and Zoloft are both SSRIs, but they are not identical by any means and I've had other SSRIs before. There's no reason to think that Wellbutrin won't work for me, and WHO THE FUCK DO YOU PEOPLE THINK YOU ARE ANYWAY?
They're INSURANCE ADJUSTERS, NOT SCIENTISTS.
Worse, they're some preprogrammed fucking computer blocking my medication, not even a live person making the decision, most likely. And it's 4:30 on a Friday afternoon and the few live people there don't give a fuck anyway.
I swear, if you hear about a torched office building for MedcoHealth? It's probably because I'm not on my antidepressants and MY depression has a huge anger component.
This is the kind of shit that TOTALLY MAKES PEOPLE CLIMB BELL TOWERS WITH AK-47s.
*seethes*
p.s. If you want to comment with sympathy, that's fine . . . but please, please, please do not tell me about how the insurance company is trying to save me money on my prescription plan or ANYTHING ELSE IN THEIR DEFENSE BECAUSE RIGHT NOW I DO NOT WANT TO HEAR IT I JUST WANT TO KILL THINGS.
