Did I just employ the "Treat Them Like You are A Kindergarten Teacher Again" method with my insurance company today? I surely did. Did it work? Probably better than intended because I made an actual doctor feel contrite.

So, my insurance has been trying to not cover my SNRI because it is new on the market and no generic available yet, so pricey.

I apply for a refill and the request gets locked for review. Again. For the 3rd time.

This time I call and immediately ask to speak to the actual doctor making these clinical decisions. Very politely. Must be a slow day because they allow it.

ME: [Teacher voice] I'm calling in regards to the SNRI you have placed a lock on. Why was this decision made?

DOC: Well, there are dozens of other medications on the market in that tier, and far cheaper for you and [insurer]. We have sent a request to your doctor to consider alternatives.

ME: I am aware of that. So, can you do me a HUGE favor and look up my prescription history really quickly and tell me how many SSRIs and SNRIs were only filled once in 2022 for me, showing they were poorly tolerated?

DOC: It looks like eight.

ME: Great job! Now, can you please look at my genetic test for psychiatric drug tolerance and tell me how many medications are listed in the safe category?

DOC: Two.

ME: Awesome! Now, can you tell me what type that other drug is that I'm not taking?

DOC: Yeah, totally, it's an MAOI.

ME: That's correct, you're really knowledgeable! Should I be taking something as dangerous as an MAOI with my other medications, or even just in general?

DOC: It's contraindicated for sure.

ME: It is! So true! So, last question since you've been incredibly smart and helpful. Is it less expensive for [insurer] to pay out for the medication knowing they already get a huge manufacturer discount anyway, or is it more expensive for them to pay for me to need potentially long-term inpatient psychiatric care?

DOC: I'll clear the code, ma'am and flag it as medically necessary. I'm sorry about this.

ME: I appreciate you SO MUCH. You have a great day now.

in the United Kingdom, people eat a street food known as the ‘tesco meal deal’, often made up of a sandwich, a side, and a beverage. it is renowned for being a cheap and easy option for many. however the more adventurous palate can opt for the ‘greggs sausage roll’ for a truly local flavour…

My one boring tip to anyone in their 20s is to resist the temptation to rot in your room every time you get a free moment. Dismiss any neuroses you have about going outside and "being perceived". Be a dictator about it, plan your hangouts like they are binding commitments. No excuses! Go to the bar with your friends. Be kinda hungover at work. Socializing is like exercise; even if you don't feel like you want to, you should still do it because it's good for you.

i kind of think i should not have to manually send a message to my doctor or pharmacy that says 'i noticed you did not fill this prescription for the 10mg version of this medication because you are out of stock. perhaps you should try the 5mg version and just double the daily dose. thanks' like i think that should happen automatically. that should be something that happens without me having to relay messages to various parties

[3liza]

perhaps, and this is insane but stay with me, perhaps the doctor and the pharmacy could communicate directly. the pharmacy could call the doctor and say, "hello, we are out of stock of the 10mg formulation. do you think the 5mg formulation would be alright, and we'll just send double the amount to the client?" and the doctor would say "yes, i think thats fine". there could even be large databases that have information about whether the drug in question needs to be dispensed in particular doses or not, perhaps as a time-release consideration, or whether it is ok to swap out dosing units like this. and this database could already be accessible to the pharmacy, perhaps through some sort of global digital communication system, and then they wouldnt have to communicate with the doctor at all, the prescription would already have information in it about dosing dispensary guidelines. imagine
