Just when you think everything is OK!!! BAM!!

I got the Humira assistance card from my doc. I called my mail order

pharmacy to find out how to use the card. First they told me they

would not accept the card...but I could use it at the local pharmacy.

I told the rep..well you said I can not get humira from local

pharmacy. I have to get it from you because I do not have injectable

drug coverage in my plan and I must use major medical. He said you

are correct..that was for LAST YEAR.

I asked how could that be? I just got the humira last week. He said

yes but your order was placed before december 31st...so you came

under last years plan...

This years plan has a HUGE co-pay for humira...so I guess I got a

freebie three months...cause the next time I fill it...its going to

hurt!!

AFter the disaster with the mail-order pharmacy I think I will go get

my meds monthly...its a pain to stand in the line every month...but

at least I know it will not get dumped on my porch in the hot sun for

me to find whenever!!

So for now I have three months that I am OK. Then I have the SIX

months for up to $300 off humira...so I will be ok for a total of

nine months....after that...well I guess I will either have to find

patient assistance if we qualify or stop the drug.

It seems like my insurance company likes to charge stuff in

threes...$30 co-pays that jump to $50 then $70.

Some days you really want to " stick it to the man!!!! "
