Appeals Letters... Fighting for Diabetes Meds I Need
I've wanted to share these two appeal letters that my doctor and I crafted in order to get the needed insulin. Clearly, this is our decision. Non-medical switching isn't cool, and I don't want to be a part of it. When it comes to my medicine and health supplies, my doctor and I should be the ones deciding what's best for me --not an insurance company or Pharmacy Benefit Manager (PBM) and insurer that sets a formulary. And so, once my insurance company offered an initial denial for each of these requests, we fought back. For the sake of #PrescriberPrevails -- because this is our choice to make, not anyone else to make. That is basically practicing medicine without a license, and that's illegal. Here are my two appeal letters, one for Afrezza inhaled insulin and another for Tresiba basal insulin. Both succeeded in getting coverage from the said insurance company.
