Guest guest Posted June 17, 2005 Report Share Posted June 17, 2005 Hi Marcy, My son uses Saizen. He has been on it for 4 years. I don't think the approval from your insurance company has anything to do with the brand Saizen itself, but maybe they have a maximum coverage on any growth hormone. uses the Cool Click, and it is the only way we have ever administered his growth hormone. It is a needle-free device that delivers the medication via a high pressure stream directly through the skin. Although I have never given myself an injection with it, it is described to feel like a rubber band snapping against the skin. Most of the time, my son doesn't flinch at all. The people who are calling are probably the Cool Click distributors. They do call a lot, but this is a good thing, as you never run out of supplies. We have dealt with numerous medical supply companies as well as home delivery pharmacies throughout 's life, and I have to say that Serono (the company that makes Cool Click & Saizen) is one of the easiest ones to deal with. They always respond to any inquiries I have immediately, and I never worry about running out of supplies. If I were you, I would go ahead & take the GH delivery now when they are ready to send it. You don't have to start giving it yet, and the GH has a shelf life of at least a year. Kim C. Hello, Has anyones child used this Growth Hormone before?(Saizen) na has been given a six month life time approval from our insurance company to start. I don't understand only six months max but i'm assuming it will be reavaluated in six months. We are suppose to go to training July11th. This company keeps calling asking if she can be in thier study. has this happened to any one before? This one lady calls everyday, i feel like she is a aggrivating telemarketer. I have heard of other GH types used but not this one. They have 2 injection devices, one cool click which I have heard mention and one click. The company wants to delivery the meds now,is that how it is done? We don't have class till July. Dr. H wanted us to wait to she her but this woman says they will stop the process and we will have to reapply all overrr again which took over six months to get. I'm going to call my insurance company and see if they can change the start date and find out about this cazy lady calling me at work and home each day. It took us a while to decide what we would do, then it took the insurrrance company forever to approve. We will be going to the convention and I am nervous about traveling with GH being it would only be a week starting it. I feel that starting the day after we get back is better because we are near her pedi and other doctors. Who know maybe after next week we will be starting them sooner. We see her genetics and orrtho. I'll keep you posted. Marcy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 17, 2005 Report Share Posted June 17, 2005 > Hi Tammy, I had this dilemma the first time I went to the convention too. I sent my mom to the ones I deemed less important with a notebook to take notes and I went to the other ones. Last year for the first time, some of the segments (not all) were available to purchase on DVD, but we did not get these immediately after the convention. Also, I think the reason they were able to do this was through some donated money earmarked for this purpose. I have not heard whether they will be doing the same this year. My advice to you would be to split up and/or put a tape recorder in a room neither of you attend.
