Thank you for response to my concern about the enzymes

October 21, 2002

Dear Chat Board, : )

Thank you for all the responses that have been posted concerning my

fight with Medicaid for Elisabeth's Ultrase enzymes. I have done 2

things since I posted- 1. I wrote an e-mail to Scandipharm- a nice

one : )- inquiring as to why they have raised the price- I did

receieve a reply-telling me that the marketing representative was out

of town this week and the person responding did not have an answer at

this time for why the price increased. 2. I called the clinic and

could not talk to the doctor directly, but had them write a note to

him that he would get today. Asking if he would send a note back to

the pharmacy telling them - NO Substitutions for her Enzyme would be

allowed. Lets hope this solves it- I am concerned though that

Medicaid will fight this more as the pharmacist seemed to think they

will no longer cover the enzyme Period!!!!due to cost.

SOOOO I wait ...... : ) and while I do I thank Lenora, , Gale,

n, Kris, le, Cheri, Deb A. and Torsten, for your replies

and suggestions. I aprreciate the alternative enzyme you mentioned

Torsten. I will keep that filed if needed for future reference. Deb

A. you asked where I was from- I live in Arkansas : ). n- thanks

for the info on the other pharmacy. Also appreciated the person who

told me about comparing the labels between the Ultrase and the

generic form. I hope I got everyone covered. : ) I'll let you know

what happens. : ) Have a great day!!!!
