Hi Remember me?
Well I wanted to let you be the first to know my great news I just got about 5 minutes ago. My insurance company Cigna has authorized the Actiq 800mcg 4x a day which is the full amount of that dose that I was requiring. The Actig 600mcg 4x a day they only authorized 100 per month instead of the regular 120 a month, there reason being that they couldn't auth more since it was not used for cancer pain. But I don't understand that because they auth a higher strenghth. Sometimes I think they have trained monkeys just pushing the buttons deciding who gets what. Well since you have built up my self esteem this far to be able to get what I need I think I will go ahead and make a go at the extra 20 Actiq a month.
Steve, from the bottom of my heart....thank you for giving me the encouragement to fight these people and to go after what I needed. I tend to be one of those type of people who say" Oh well thats their decision, I'll have to figure out another option for pain relief. Steve you made me believe that I have the fight and the courage to go head to head with these big corporations. I never thought the little pion like mysef would actually get a favorable outcome....I was ready to give up until your words of encouragement brought out the angry and frustration and "how dare they do this to me attitiude".. My words can't express enough how much your help has meant to me. I mean this is such great news that now losing my job over all of this job seems like a menial task that I can handle with very little problems.
I just can't seem to say it enough but thank you Steve, you have made a big difference in my life.
Your friend,
Satch
