I have been off and on the phone with Humana/Medicare for a total of an hour's time today and speaking with no less than 7 different people in 5 different departments.
I have about had it.. really I have. At first, I kept myself in check while dealing with one script-following lackey after another. Eventually, the last two unfortunate souls got to hear me rant about how the insurance company has no business telling me how to prescribe.

Not every person matches the instructions on the box! Pharmacodynamics/kinetics vary... a half-life is a best guess sometimes.
So what if I need to dose an XR med twice a day to get symptom relief? If that is what it takes so that my patient is able to get out of bed, go to work, take care of her children, and stay out of the hospital... than you as her insurance provider should support that! Isn't that what folks fork over an often absurd amount of their paycheck to have you do?
