Insurance companies.....

pure evil.

My son is sick and can't breeeeath and you are saying I have to wait 72 hours for him to get his antibiotics.

omg that is horrible

hope he feels better soon

not a fun of them as well...hope your son feels better soon

ahhhh prior authorization

I hate that

Did you get this straightened out yet?

If not,either call the Dr. and make him change it to something else or call the pharmacy and ask THEM to call the dr and get it changed. Your son should not have to wait 72 hours for PA.

a) PA for something like that should not take 72 hours. Someone (the dr, the pharmacy, the ins company) is bullshitting you

b) any good pharmacist knowing it's a kid's antibiotic,w ould have called the dr on their own to get the directions or medication changed... not let you wait 3 days for the medication. Ridiculous. I'm a pharmacy tech, this is what I do every day.

c) Chances are the dosing your MD is giving is not necessary. I don't know why they do that... either give a stronger drug or stick to the mfg recommended dosing... they did trials for a reason!

Definitely make some phone calls tomorrow. That's not necessary

Feel free to FM me if you have any questions or if I can do anything to help. Poor kid
