Coverage: formulary tiers, exclusion versus non-coverage, the difference a diabetes indication makes, employer carve-outs, and what an appeal actually needs to contain.
The pharmacy is accredited and I have verified that on the accreditor register. This is a procedural question rather than a theoretical one, and I would like the…
I would rather spend on verification than on volume. Please show the division. I want to check my own against yours. I would like the general form as well as the…
The pharmacy is accredited and I have verified that on the accreditor register. Everything I have found on this is either a forum aside or a product page, neither of…
The lane and the lead time matter as much as the material for what I am doing. This should be a straightforward calculation and I keep getting two different answers.…
The pharmacy is accredited and I have verified that on the accreditor register. I am trying to do this correctly the first time rather than learn it by getting it…
I have the plan documents and the written criteria, which took two calls to obtain. I have read the obvious sources and they disagree with each other, so I would…
I have the plan documents and the written criteria, which took two calls to obtain. I want a method I can write down and repeat, not a rule of thumb. I would rather…
I have certificates from two lots and an independent result on one of them. I can do the algebra. I am not confident about the conversion factors. If there is a…
I am comparing three suppliers on documentation rather than on price. I have worked this out and I would like someone to find the error, because I suspect there is…
I would rather spend on verification than on volume. I want the working, not the result — I need to be able to redo it with different numbers. I care about the…
I have certificates from two lots and an independent result on one of them. I would like the arithmetic checked rather than the conclusion asserted. I have…
The lane and the lead time matter as much as the material for what I am doing. I would rather understand the derivation than memorise the outcome. Two people I asked…

This is a first order from this supplier, so I have no track record to reason from. The units are where I keep going wrong, so please be explicit about them. I have…
I have now seen four different prices for the same product quoted as though each were the real one: a list price in the region of $1,300 a month, a "net price" figure…
My endocrinologist's office submitted a prior authorisation for semaglutide 2.4 mg eleven days ago. The portal says "in review". When I call the plan, the first-line…
I have been with a subscription telehealth service for seven months and I want out of the subscription without stopping treatment. Two obstacles I do not understand.…
I got a denial letter that says the requested drug is "not included on the plan's formulary" and separately, further down, that "the plan does not provide benefits…
My employer plan's anti-obesity criteria include a line I cannot parse: coverage requires "documented participation in a comprehensive weight management programme…
I have been through one internal appeal already and would like to do the next one properly. I can find plenty of assertions about this and almost no reasoning, which…
The lane and the lead time matter as much as the material for what I am doing. I would rather understand the derivation than memorise the outcome. Two people I asked…
The pharmacy is accredited and I have verified that on the accreditor register. I have done this once and I suspect I got away with it rather than got it right. For…
I have certificates from two lots and an independent result on one of them. I would like the arithmetic checked rather than the conclusion asserted. I have…
I have an A1c of 6.9% on metformin alone, a BMI of 34, hypertension, and a family history of premature cardiovascular disease. My plan covers GLP-1 receptor agonists…
