Re: switching Xolair scrips

[Guest guest]

personaly, i would also feel funny....but i don't see anything wrong

with it. as long as your shipment is coming by the next person's

scheduled shot.

do you deal with curascript?? if you call them (they are open until

9 i belive) you can see when your scrip is due to arrive. they got

mine to my dr in the " nick of time " when i had my insurance issues,

and told me when it would arrive, and it arrived when they said.

maybe give them a call?

but i do'nt see a problem with it!

happy xolairing!

Addy,

My doctor in Little Rock had to do that a couple of times. It was no

big deal. All of her patients got their Xolair in time

I use Curascript and they do a GREAT job of getting my Xolair to my

doc in time

Unfortunately BCBS in my state contracted with Caremark to provide

Xolair to all of their customers throughout the state. Caremark

does not have the same level of customer service as Curascript or

Nova Factor. They are, however, saving BCBS nearly $200 per vial,

according to the statement I got from BCBS when I was being served

by Nova Factor in the beginning, vs. what BCBS is being charged by

Curascript now.

Oh, well, I can't complain as long as BCBS is covering it!

I'm also using Caremark. They are quite a bit less expensive than

NovaFactor.

Since I give the injections myself, I am responsible for ordering as

well.

Caremark started a program a few months back where you could fax in

your order. I ignored it, until this month. I faxed in the order

on Monday.

Well, unfortunately, my Xolair didn't come, at least, as of

yesterday. I'm due for a shot this weekend. Looks like that is out.

Now I will have to call, but I won't get my Xolair before Tuesday or

Wednesday of next week because I don't think they ship on Friday.

I called Caremark - they shipped yesterday for delivery today.

Worried unnecessarily.
