Has anyone else gotten an insurance letter saying compounded pain creams will no longer to covered? Thanks Express Scripts. Cheap bastards.
And this is why! http://www.cbsnews.com/news/investigation-insurance-billed-18000-for-unwanted-pain-meds/ Cheap ass company. Is Merck's motto Be Well or Be Hell. Rant over!
About time this unethical and more probably illegal practice is outed. Also need to pursue the sales people and physicians responsible for medicare / medicaid fraud.
The pain creams really do work and work well, at least they do for me. What's horrific is the phone scam. Someone needs to pay for that with jail time.
Mine works too...except I will have to jump through hoops to have it covered or eat the cost. One bad apple... Oh, and I really do dislike ESI.
It's civil, not criminal. Just a small fine. You make five million and get fined 50k. Everyone wins. No one goes to jail.
It's about time! However I am curious about one thing... Why would Express Scripts or any other insurer send YOU a letter saying compounded pain creams will no longer be covered? Ordinarily insurers communicate only with the patients and prescribers involved. I cannot imagine them sending a coverage letter to some stooge who is paid to drop off pre-printed prescription forms to doctors' offices. I call BS on your original post, but it doesn't matter. All of the drivel about the "hundreds of thousands of dollars" you creamers are making is also BS.
Bogus voodoo medicine, no clinical trials so we rightly will not cover. If you don't like the decision pay for it out of pocket you cheap bastard!
