It doesn’t make sense that the insurance company requires prior authorization for a medication ordered by a doctor.  He’s a doctor.  If they think that he’s corrupt or inept, go after him.

I called my insurance company, and the service rep asked a bunch of questions to clarify my request.  Then she says, “I see that you have a team that is more able to address your issue.”

She let’s that hang for a while. 

I told her that I don’t have a team.  Maybe she has a team.  I asked if she was going to transfer me to someone in a better position to answer my questions.  She implied that my team would be up to the task, and she would check back in 5 minutes.

Just say you are going to put me on hold or transfer me.  I don’t care.  I’m on a Bluetooth headset and can dick around all day. 

She did transfer me, and that person transferred me again, and finally someone said they’d fax a form to my doctor.  So I guess Obamacare is working.

Security protocols are sensible.  While I was waiting, I read the news about a Somali sub-moron who has cheated Medicaid for 80 million dollars over nine years.  His clever plot finally unraveled.
