There was a time when paperwork and such was defensible.
Now, if carriers had a lick of sense, they’d realize that forms are dirt cheap online; and that it’s drastically less expensive just to pay the claim vs fighting it.
They don’t, of course, because mergers and sole-source pharmacies for “scary” meds, but that’s neither here nor there.
Whole idea of PBMs is wrong, offensive, and has set back my care. Know who should manage my pharmacy benefits, my fucking doctor. Full stop.
