Prescription Issues and Low Insulin Inventory

Ok, I posted earlier in the week that I was getting a little nervous because I had to re-order my insulin shortly, but it was with a new insurance company and something always seems to go wrong.  It is only a one month RX, so I didn’t call it into the insurance company and use their mail order because it wouldn’t make sense to do that.  The nearest pharmacy to my work is Target and I wanted to drop it off today and pick it up tomorrow.  So I went through the process today to get the RX filled.

I called my doctor and had them fax a prescription to Target.  I waited a few hours and called Target and they said that the RX didn’t make sense so they called and left a message for my doctor’s office to fax over another RX.  Well that didn’t make sense because the doctor’s phone is always answered, no matter what.  I then called my doctor’s office and they said, “nope, never received a call.”  So now Target is pissing me off by this point by just pushing it to the side.

My doctor’s office re-faxed it over and everything was good.  They told me I could pick it up at 3:00 today, but I couldn’t get out of work in time before they closed so I am just going to pick it up tomorrow and have it before the weekend starts.

I knew that there would be some sort of issue, but this time it wasn’t even involving the insurance company, but with the pharmacy.  Well that was my wonderful day and my insulin story.  To be continued tomorrow I guess to see if it goes smoothly, hopefully it does.  I do not have much insulin left.  I am down to one full vial of insulin which gives me about 5-7 days, depending on how much I eat during that time.

Have a great Friday tomorrow everybody!
