Good Luck Marie

It's ok Marie,
Your going to do fine. I know you are. Take a deep breath and remember, you are the patient and you choose who your provider will be. That puts you in the driver seat.
I'll be waiting to hear back from you.
Good luck!

What!!!!????


Wow! I'm speechless. You could have got better service from a crack dealer on the street. Please PM me her name. I just want to run a check on her and see what she is under investigation for. It should be easy to find. City and Name is all. I promise not to do anything else with it. But she does need to be turned in.
No receipts? Why not. She is in business isn't she. I thought her calling and talking to you personally was because she was a good decent caring doctor. Not because she was not on the up and up.
She may still be, but who knows?

When you see the other doctor tomorrow. If he brings anything up about you seeing the other doctors, tell him the truth. Tell him honestly why. Let him know about what the nurse or office staff person said to you about not being able to help you AFTER he himself told you to take extra medication.
Let him know that your recovery is the most important thing to you and you did not want to be face with withdrawal or having to buy off the streets.

When you went to these other doctors did they send for your records? I doubt the woman did maybe but maybe not. Did you sign a release for your records with either one of them?

I think in order for you to get your money back is going to be hard. We can try to put our heads together. The AMA needs to know what she is doing though.
I am sending you many prayers tonight Marie. I wish I could be there, I really do.

Beth and Dee,
I've not read your posts yet I wanted to tell you what happened before I get on the phone with the Ins. and totally loose it on them..

I go to the Dr. and wait and wait. He comes in with no script and closes the door. I knew,he knew. I spilled it all out and begged him to give me another chance. I waited another 45 nin. He comes back and said he will keep me and give me another chance. he wants me in theraphy IMMED. I went to where he wanted me to go to show proof of the appt. and had to bring it back to him.

Get this,he increassed my dose. Which this is what this was all about. He said I should have come to his office. I told him how I've tried to call MANY times. He said next time to come there. I hope there won't be no next time.

So,I go to the Pharmacy knowing this is going to be a fight. And it was. They said i can't go over 90 pills in 23 day period...Say what??????

I'm going to get on the phone in a minute but I needed to come tell you what is going on first.
I might have to have another PA since he increased my dose. Whatever the reason when i call I feel bad already for the person that answers at the Ins. Co. I'm so sick of fighting them over the same damn thing over and over with. And what do they mean 23 days. That would leave a entire week out.

At first they told the Pharnacist they filled and paid for the false Dr. yesterday.
Does anybody know how to do there job? GEEZ

Dee please do tell me what you know about the other Dr. I'm trying to get in touch with her now.

I'll be back shortly.

Love
Marie

Marie,
when an insurance company does a prior authorization the do it for a certain amount of the medication. Some companies have a limit set as to what they will approve.
Mine says they will only fill a 14 day supply at a time at 2 tablets (16mg) per day.
And yours is saying they only pay for a 23 day supply.
What do they mean the pharmacy filled a prescription for a false doctor. The doctor is under investigation but that doesn't mean she is false.
In your defense they need to show or tell you something.

I did go the the Medical Board for your state and checked out the doctor. They don't publish on going investigations only past investigations and those results.
This afternoon I did find another address along with the one you gave me for her with the same phone number though.

That doctor still has her license until April of 2012. I sent you the link to the page in the PM. I didn't want to put her name out here on the site if there was still a chance that you had to have any dealings with her.

Since the insurance company did not in fact pay for that prescription yesterday they should pay for this new one. You still have your cash receipt don't you. When you call see if you can talk to the Prior Authorization Department. That is who I talked to the day that I called. Maybe that will help.
I'm still digging.

I guess me saying a False Dr. is not the correct wording. I'm meaning since she is under some sort of investigation and Im calling her false. Wrong choice of words...My Bad

I did get in touch with her this afternoon. She said she would not mail it to me but I could come to her office on Friday evening and get it. She said she wanted the script back. I told her I paid for a few but the Pharmacy had the script. She said she would call and cancel it. I had already told them to hold it or cancel it but to please be sure it was under "her" name.
I would not want them to accidently put her name on a refill from the Dr. I'm seeing now. He would flip out. So,would I.
She obviously,does not want any paper trail since she doesn't want to mail it back.

Now,this is a one hour drive to get my money back but it's 200.00 so I have to go get it.

The guy from the Ins. Co. told me to bring my receipts to the Pharmacy that I was paying cash for my meds before I was approved and they would give me the money back. They would then file for it. I'm not so sure about that. I'll call in the morning. After today and hanging on the phone with the Ins. for 2 hours this afternoon,I can't think anymore.

I guess I'll be back to going to the Dr. office everyday,AGAIN. To get them for that PA and hopefully they don't deny it. I know I'm making some progress but untill I start seeing some money come back in i'm not going to feel comfortable.
It would be great to be able to go get my meds filled one of these times and have no problem. I look forward to the day that all I have to be concerned about is making my once monthly Dr. appt.

This has been one hell of a ride.....

Thanks for all the time you have spent helping me Dee. You are very much appreciated...

Love
Marie

I was having some trouble sleepin although I'm so tired.
You said something that was such a nice compliment and maybe it's true. I'm not good with taking a compliment.
You said that I've done the work. For me since I've tried to get clean so many times it often came easy for me to get help. I always think of myself as a screw up. I was told it half my life but that's another story. This time I've had to fight for it.
Perhaps this is what i needed to do. It was time for me to fight for myself. Often when things come to easy we tend to not appreciate it as much.

I've made such a mess for so many years trying to get clean. The up and down the vicious fight of fighting for the next pill. At least now I'm fighting for the right reasons now.
God does do things in strange ways.

Last night I felt like I couldn't take anymore. I wrote in my God Box and I felt a feeling of peace. I was going to just really give it uup and let God have His way. I felt calmer about the whole thing this morning. I was weary of what was going to happen but I was ready for whatever the day brought.


Tomorrow I will be seeing a Counselor. Thing is I'll be seeing 2 different ones for the first 2 visits. I think it's going to be more of a Evaluation. The person i want to see will be gone for 2 weeks. I've been putting off going and with this Dr. making m e go is probably just what I need. I know it's what I need.

I'm going to try to get some sleep. I still have some things to do with the Ins. and other things that's needed here. My grandson is coming back tomorrow as well.

You may not have been here physically but knowing you were trying to help me has made things much easier.
Beth this goes for you as well.

Now,if I can get past the Dr.'s front office "bull dogs" to get this PA.

Also,I knew what you meant about the Dr. I just didn't want any Dr. to think I'm attacking another Dr. if one was to come by. Sometimes things don't come out the way I'm trying to say it.

Good Night/Morning.

Beth how are you doing,hun?

Much Love To You Both

Marie
