I am having a big problem with the methadone my PCP prescribed. Actually I was dumped to her from my rheumatologist and she really dosen't know about prescribing narcotics like methadone. So she gives me the minimum amount. I am in the process of finding a pain doctor, but that takes time. I went to see her the other day and explained that the dose I am taking is not working and I honestly told her I have been taking more than I should have. I had a domestic violence incident last week and I needed the extra meds. I get no breakthrough by the way. Well, she actually was great and wrote me a script for more methadone, plus some hydro. (only 30 for a month!! PCP doctors idea of pain control cracks me up!!) The problem is, my insurance is not going to go for that. I filled a script for 90 methadone about 3 weeks ago and she gave me another script for some more. Do you think that my insurance will deny this prescription? I am thinking that I may have to go to a pharmacy where I am not known and have nor records and get it filled there. I don't think this is illegal, but im pretty sure that my insurance won't fill it, nor will Walgreens let me pay cash. Do you think I should just find a new pharmacy and fill this with cash?
I have got a script for hydro from my PCP and two days later caller her and told her this was not cutting it and she wrote me a script for Percocet. I took the script to the local drugstore and have never had a problem with them or my insurance. I think as long as you have a new script that is changing the amt per day or changing the amt per dose that is considered different treatment so you should have no troble. I could be wrong, imagine that, but I have never had a problem in this situation.
Basically, my doctor is giving me my months supply of methadone early. She really dosent' know what else to give me and she just gives me the same amount. Actually we are both waiting for my appointment with a PM doctor which is not until july 18th. So I may have to go to another pharmacy where I have no records and pay cash. Methadone isn't that expensive I don't think.
If she wrote it with an Increase in the Dosage or Frequency, they should cover it...if she wrote it for the same dosage and frequency..probably not..but even if you take it in & insurance turns it down...you can just pay cash at the same pharmacy...if they have questions, let them deal with the doc...good luck
