Wow, my eye doctor's clinic is closed.
I knew federal places are closed today but I didn't think that doc's offices would be. Especially since I called them on Friday and they were closed.
It's a good thing this isn't urgent. Oh wait, it is because it's been 3 weeks & I still haven't been able to get my prescription eye drops for my dry eye issue, despite being told last week that they sent in the new insurance-approved medication to Walgreens who said they don't have it.
@see_the_sus I feel for you. My partner is playing the 3 card monte game with CVS right now with his prescriptions. Where are they? Maybe here, maybe there. Good luck with your phone calls. Notice how the administrative burden is always on the patient?
Hope your situation is resolved quickly.
thanks. ♥️ I've been taking Xiidra since '18. Prior to that, I was on Restasis.
But because I'm now on a different insurance, they refuse to accept my medical history & are insisting I have to go back to Restasis. This after first denying the Xiidra & then denying some other brand I've never heard of. That process took 2 weeks.
Some of the onus is on me because I'm so busy dealing with my mom's medical care that I often forget my own phone calls to make.
The only thing in my favor right now is being on Medicaid. The medical care is mostly great, it’s the fucking insurance asswipes that’s the problem.
@see_the_sus The problem is that the US doesn’t have a healthcare *system.* The US has a web of profit-making companies in which patients, doctors, and other medical professionals are ensnared. This spiderweb purports to provide “health care” but its real function it to capture little bugs (i., e., sick people) and squeeze money out for as long as possible.
Too cynical?
