Pam & Waverley,

Rob has been taking ProVigil for over a year and we have had no problems

getting insurance to pay for it, or part of it, which is what our contract

allows. Rob has Medicare, which of course doesn't pay for any medications,

and a Blue Cross supplement.

All insurance companies have an appeal process, and that is what I would use

to contest this. If the doctor thinks it is necessary and it helps, they

should pay for it. ProVigil is expensive, which is why they don't want to

cover it.

Hello I am Sam's caretaker. Sam takes provigil in the a.m. and at

noon. It has helped him a great deal to stay awake. His private

neurologist prescribed it, and I sent it to the neurologist at the VA who

has it filled for us there. I do not know whether the pharmacy plan from

his former employer (he has been retired 18 years) would fill it for

us. They have usually been cooperative, but some medications are really

costly and all the " plans " are trying to cut down. I hope you can get the

drug, if that is what you need. t 06:08 PM 11/1/2002 -0400, you wrote:
