Drugs

I am currently on hold with Kaiser, my health insurance provider. I’m trying to reorder one of my prescriptions but they want to charge me $968.00 for a 90 day supply. I have met my deductible already, having paid that amount the last time I ordered this medication.

Now I’m on hold waiting in a 17 minute line. Waiting on hold is one of my new jobs. Oh, I just got an update. The line is now 7 minutes long.

The main thing I want to accomplish today is fixing the bad battery connection I have on the truck. I’m waiting for a call from the Auto Supply store telling me my part is in. 

Of course, I’m tied up on this call which means they won’t get through.

Update: two minutes remaining.

Update: I got through and they were no help. I shall continue my search.

Final Update: I went online to the Novartis website. That’s the thieving drug company that makes Entresto. I did find an offer for a free 30 day trial of Entresto.

I also printed out a $10 co-pay off for future purchases. I’m not yet convinced this is a long term solution. It seems odd that they charge such a varied range of prices. It’s like nobody on an airline pay the same price for a ticket.

I also called my Cardiologist to see if there was an alternative to Entresto. I expect I’ll hear back in a day or so.
