“The moral test of a government is how it treats those who are at the dawn of life, the children; those who are in the twilight of life, the aged; and those who are in the shadow of life, the sick and the needy, and the handicapped.” – Hubert Humphrey

Received a Prior Authorization denial today for a medication that was discontinued for their 2018 formulary. It was denied in less than 2 hours from when it was received. I took your advise and called Humana and asked to speak to the HIPPA officer. She was a little confused so she transferred me to the PA department. Again asking for the HIPPA officer as well as the names and credentials for everyone accessing my records. She put me on hold for less than a minute then came back and told me it had been approved! WOW! It actually worked. I cannot thank you enough for this information. Thank you Thank you Thank you!!!
I have called my part D Medicare insurance plan, my Senator, my N.Y. Assemblyman, FDA, Office of the aging, Empire Justice inN.Y. , N.Y. Human Rights, and more advocates than I remember, including Disability Rights,..no one offered help, and now a human doesn’t even answer the phone. In the past, most said that they cannot help with anything concerning medications.
