Hi, we are in California ,I am friends with a woman who has really bad shoulder pain, my husband does too, and my husband just had to switch back to Fee for Service Medicaid cause his now ex Dr wouldn’t do the paperwork for his pain patch this month. The State forced my husband to switch to Managed care Medicaid which required more paperwork and wouldn’t approve his pain patch this month. My husband is in so much pain now and have withdrawals. I had him switch back to the Fee for service medicaid Friday. So the Pharmacist can do the paperwork if you have Fee for Service here (the TAR or Treatment Auth Request the pharmacist can do if you have Fee for service Medicaid) he should get he patch tomorrow, but isnt that terrible, he has had to go through withdrawal cause nobody told him he managed care Medicaid wouldnt approve his pain medication.
hi can you help me with finding a methadone clinic near us…
i am a nervous wreck worried about my husband he is in bad pain and bad shape mentallyy, I am havign a hard time finding somewhere close to go to
will methadone take away his teeth chattering and the withdrawal symptoms he is still having
We are not going to have any “death panels “.. nothing has ever been said about “denial panels”… Apparently policies and protocols of this particular Managed Medicaid program in California has little concern about the consequences to patients and/or collateral damage to pts. Most health insurance programs have “transitional approval” of medications that a pt is on when they are moved from one health insurance policy to another. This particular managed care program seems to put profits above pt care… doesn’t that give you the warm fuzzies ?
