A few weeks ago I got a letter from my prescription drug plan insuranc4e company (henceforth known as the (PDP), informing me that my premium was going up this year. No problem, it was very low to begin with.
Now the other day, I got a letter from the PDP telling me that they were no longer going to cover my prescription. I only take one drug, which I am told is rather unusual for someone my age. So, of course, this is the one they single out for abandonment.
This means a deep dive into the murky and confusing waters of insurance.
I can’t really do anything until October 15 when the insurance carriers issue their new formularies for the upcoming year. That’s to find out who carries this drug.
Between October 15 and December 7th I have to find a plan with the right premium and that is also available in my state.
I really don’t need this right now.
We used to call this a hassle.
God bless everybody

Find a good insurance agent and see what they can come up with.
That’s the plan. Hopefully. Patty
My daughter takes only one prescription drug — a common generic. The insurance company told her this year they no longer cover it, so she’s on the search now, too.
It’s kind of maddening–why these arbitrary decisions?
I just sent a comment about my daughter’s insurance problem. I forgot to label it with my name.
That’s OK I figured it out. Patty
I sympathize. The worst part of any pain or problem, from the tiniest to the most grievous, is having to wait for someone else to do something before we can do anything ourselves. When the “someone” is a bureaucracy, even the worst manages to get worse.
Oh how true that is!
