It's day two of the Lupron injections and I already feel like we're experts! Thanks to my husband- Dr. B we'll call him- I didn't feel a thing! I think it's funny that yesterday and today, I've been really concerned with the entire process- did we clean the area well enough?; am I too close to my last injection site?; did I lay down long enough afterwards?; should I lay down afterwards? knowing very well that a week from now I'll be grabbing the syringe as I'm running downstairs to feed the cats and injecting myself as I go. Okay, maybe I won't be that comfortable with the process, but you get my point.
I also just got off the phone with Caremark regarding one of the new meds. So, when I ordered the medicine I purposely requested the drug be sent mail order as my benefits cover speciality drugs much better via mail order rather than retail. The deal is that I order the specialty drug mail order and I only have to pay $250 for it. So you can imagine my shock and horror when they asked for my payment of $1,995 for the drug! After, Lord knows how many phone calls to both my employer and Caremark, I finally have a resolution! As it turns out Caremark's "Specialty Pharmacy" processes both retail and mail order claims. Blah, blah, blah, they processed the claim as mail order and TaDa- $250! What a relief! Trust me, with all the stress this process puts you through, money is very near the tippy-top of the list... "near" being the key word!
