healthcare (USA), insurance, meds, adhd, caps
And here's me with a rage-grumble, again, at the fact that my insurance requires prior auth for my atomoxetine.
That they require it is annoying.
That they only require it for patients above the age of 17 is rage inducing.
ADHD IS NOT EXCLUSIVELY A CHILDHOOD CONDITION!!!!!!!
I'm so mad. I don't think there's any way for me to file any kind of formal complaint about the issue. So I'm just stuck raging.
Worse still, due to how bad the automated communication processes at my pharmacy are (and, admittedly, my lack of checking in on my supply level), I have a day of meds left right now as I try to get this sorted out.

update:
Prior auth did not go through because my insurance has reverted the name change on my account
..for the second or third time now.
re: healthcare (USA), insurance, meds, adhd, caps
They did let me know that they'd given a code for the pharmacy to fill a temporary supply, so unless something else bizarre happens, I will be picking up my meds shortly. Which is good enough for today.
I'll just have to check back with the insurance in a couple of days to make sure the name change went through.. again.. and then ask my doc to resend the prior auth paperwork so that I don't have to deal with this for another year. (I should probably make a note to self that this may come back up next year though)

@SocialGaff this all sounds so terrible and frustrating, health insurance companies are just the worst
