After my last blood test, the cardiologist called and told me to stop taking Prevastatin and start taking Crestor, which he had just called in to the pharmacy. Unknown to me, Crestor required pre-approval from Medicaid. this pre-approval has expired; my PCP withdrew as my doctor in October when MS reared its ugly head; Community Care [the group that manages Louisiana Medicaid] didn't answer their phones from November 15, 2009 through January 19, 2010 so that i could change my PCP; I am unable to take Crestor as prescribed because I will not be linked with my new PCP until March 1; Cardiologist requires a new referral, which of course he cannot get until after the new PCP sees me some time after March 1.
Today I called Medicaid Pharmacy and was informed that the dr's office had to call to arrange the pre-approval.
So I have a question for Mr. Levine... Will you please let me know how I can continue on the medications prescribed according to your rules when I appear to be in Medicaid Limbo?
I guess I'll just have to go without until I am in conformance with Louisiana's medicaid rules, eh?
Note: This morning's bp: 83-41... not good...
