Re: Pre-authorization required for anti-fungal ?

I would soak in Hydrogen peroxide from a non preservative brand.  It will

oxygenate the area which should prevent growth of disease.

I sent you a note on your email. I am writing to an RN that has been guiding me

with my candida since I never got help from my doctors with that problem. It is

a shame that we are left to do this stuff on our own. I can't see how it would

hurt, but lets make sure. I just wrote her. hugs,

My rx for Sporanox still sits unapproved now ten days. I talked to pharmacist

about ketonazole which I thought might be appropriate and when I asked if that

usually is easier to get he said 'oh yes'. So sporanox is very hard to get!!

Ketanozole is about half the price as sporanox. Doea anyone know if Sporanox is

worth fighting for?

I will take liver detox product at the same time. At this point, I'm worried I

may not be able to walk ever, so liver trouble sounds better to me. My foot has

been swollen and painful since March.

Update on my prescription for Sporanox.

I talked to my insurance company about their request for pre-authorization a

second time and asked more questions and got more helpful answers.

Here is what they said. They have list of drugs that need prior approval that I

can have and faxed me a copy, so if I can refer to the list with doctor, the

need for pre-authorization won't be a surprise. The only two antifungals on the

list as needing prior approval are: Sporanox and Lamasil. (Surprised by the

Lamasil inclusion)>

No other antifungals require a pre-authorization to fill. Just a prescription.

That's a relief!

Not sure of reason for choosing these two but apparently not a cost thing as

Lamasil is very cheap and Sporanox very expensive.

They said they can send the pre-auth form to me and I can fill out everything I

can and then doctor only needs to write in diagnosis and sign it, and then maybe

it will go faster that way, when I know ahead of time pre-auth will be

necessary.

They also sent me list of reasons they require pre-authorization on certain

drugs, which are:

1.) The medication may be prescribed for reasons outside the Food and Drug Admin

or manufacturer's guidelines (my interpretation: frequently used for alternative

treatments.)

2.) The medicine requires completion of diagnostic procedures to maximize

therapeutic benefits

3.) The medication may be used to treat conditions not covered by your insurance

plan (probably aimed at alternative treatments again, such as chronic fatigue

syndrome for example)

4.) The medicine has a high potential for adverse affects and/or abuse (liver

damage maybe but Dr Marinkovich says over blown. Also sedatives and pain

killers are on the list).

As for Lamasil, even though it is on the list as needing prior approval,

Walgreens said they could sell me a 90 day supply for $12.00 if I have a valid

prescription, so that leaves only Sporanox as a problem to get. Interesting!!

My apologies for haranging on this topic when I was able to get clarification

from my insurance company!!

I was wondering how you were doing Barb. If you take the anti fungals they will

do bloodwork while you are on it to keep check on your liver, at least they are

suppose to... Hope you feel better soon. Write when ever you feel like it.

To talk to an insurance ombudsman, do I just call my insurance company and ask

to speak to one?
