Lisah I actually kind of like it. I just should have started it sooner for more money.

It took me a minute to figure out which things my employer will pay for but I have those all now.

I really need to stop calling insurance companies before work.

So I found out that with CVs/Caremark if you are on maintenance prescription you have to get a 90 day mail order supply. My doctor won't give me refills for my meds so I'm not sure how that is supposed to work. But you also have to pay upfront . Until my deductible kicks in a 90 day supply of Vyvanse is $700.

They don't accept the discount coupon for the medicine via mail order. Or they can but only if it's sent as a check and the guy didn't know much about that . Supposedly doing this saves money.

I hate our for profit health care industry.

you have to get a 90 day mail order supply. My doctor won't give me refills for my meds so I'm not sure how that is supposed to work.

Your doctor should be able to write a scrip for a 90-day supply, especially if you explain that your insurance requires it. And if it's CVS Caremark, can you pick it up at a CVS, assuming you have those where you live?

When we were in the remote wildness of eastern Washington, that was the plan we were on, and when we inevitably called to complain, they'd say, "Oh, but you can just go to your local CVS," and we'd have to explain AGAIN that there were no CVS stores where we lived.

There is a CVS across from Walgreens. The big issue is not being able to use a coupon with the mail order. Even if I could pick it up I would be using the coupon because I can't afford $200ish a month for one prescription.

I may use Walgreens for this month and try to figure out something.

On top of that my period started and it's hell. Cramps, nausea, I'm grumpy, and I took something a couple of hours ago and it did nothing. I want to crawl in bed with an hot water bottle but we are short handed and no one is coming until I get off. Well they will in other departments but they need me here.

Can you get samples from your doctor?

I don't think she can.

I think if I don't go through insurance and just use the coupon thing it will be $50 or $75. I think. I sti haven't called Walgreens because I had cramps from hell today. I'll try Sunday.

If it's going to be that range I'll do that and skip insurance . It won't go to my deductible but I won't hit the deductible by the end of the year anyway.

I'm putting it off in part because tomorrow is going to be crazy. We have a big sale and we open early. One person who is in shoes will be in men's. The other is working 6 to 12:15 but is scheduled to go on her break at 11:15. I get in at 11:15.

There is a very real chance on one of our busiest days I'll be alone for the day. And it's not just shoes, the store is broken into 4 areas and my area is intimates, girls clothes/infants, jewelry/accessories and shoes.

OK, that was creepy. I was thinking about going to a bee-themed restaurant near me for brunch tomorrow, and then I got on Facebook, and the first two ads that I see are bee-related.

Okay, yeah, that seems a little creepy, Hil.

Went to go pick up my prescription from the doctor and it's not readymade hopefully tomorrow. I told them about the new insurance issue and at the desk they flat out said it's against policy to get refill prescriptions for that type of medicine. Which I assumed since I have to call and ask for a refill every month, go pick it up and show my ID and then take it to the pharmacy.

So I'll be calling CVS/Caremark back later this week to see what to do.
