Hello Everyone,
I just need to get this off my chest. I went to pick up my Dad's prescription for Riultek last night. I get there, the pharmacist says "wow, this is expenisve". I said I know that because it's a special order, etc. I told him that with insurance it's around $30.00. (This will be his 3rd refill since July 30 day supply each). The guy says "no, it's $500.00". What?!?!
Well, appearantly we have reached the maximum the insurance company is willing to pay for the YEAR and we now have to pay up to $3,600.00 before they will have the insurance kick back in. So, he will only get covered for 2 months worth of pills a year and we have to pay the rest.
How nice of them, let my dad pay for the past 60 years for this stupid insurance and we he needs the most, don't cover anything!
We were denied a hospital bed, cane, etc from the insurance company because "due to his illness, there is no need for those items".
INSURANCE COMPANIES ARE A RIP OFF!
So, now to give my dad some hope, I will pick up this $500.00 bottle of medication, $16.67 per pill to give to him even though he will die and it will not save his life.
Ok, I think I feel better.
Anyone out there have a similar situation?
Thanks for listening
