Prescription Fun
Jan. 24th, 2024 08:56 pmSo the Trulicity Saga continues.
It is a new year and new deductible so I knew my Trulicity would be expensive (about $800) this month and budgeted for it. Had everything in place. Then Sunday came along and I went to the CVS website to refill the medication. They said it was delayed and I can call in 2 business days if I have not heard from them. On Monday I tried to refill again and it let me try but then it was cancelled. Tuesday the same thing. Wednesday is when I take this medication each week. Today I called CVS and found out their warehouse is out and no idea when it will be in and that is why the refill keeps getting canceled. Well nice of them to call/msg or something to let me know. I call my doctor's office and say can you check to see of Univ of Ky has the meds (that is where I go to my doctor's) Yes they did, but not at my office, but at the main hospital. OK send in there! My sister in law works at the hospital and when I called her she said she would be willing to pick it up for me since it can be a bitch to get in and out of the area where the pharmacy is. I would let her know when it was ready since they told me to wait 1 hour and call. I call over and speak to this lovely guy who was like yes we have it here in the fridge for you. I was like how much... dreading the answer, even though I knew last year that I qualified for their prescription help, but my insurance was being dicks about it. He was like $25.... HOT DAMN! So I paid for it over the phone, texted my SIL and she went and got it. All is good for another month!
