Talked with the Advance Practice Nurse and it appears the legal loop-hole (AKA more wasteful healthcare dollars spent) has been found. I can get my "rescue" meds through my physician's office and insurance will cover it. Now mind you, being an RN, I am fully capable of administering my own injections especially since I will be injecting Interferon at home and I self-injected insulin after my transplant. But for some reason, it is a better option for my insurance company to have me go to the doctor to receive the very same injections that I can give myself...sooooo OK, I'm ready to play.
Now we are back at step one and that is getting approval for Interferon and Ribavirin so my pharmacist can get the prescription filled and I can start treatment. Can we have a small cheer for the little man in this fight...Here's one for US.
Keep your spirits high...robin
