I am willing to pay price differentials and not have the hassle of going to Canada,etc. The PBM got the signature of the doctor and he did not discuss this (or my changed health status) with me. I am firing this doctor and getting another one. I have a three month wait to get another specialist in this PPO plan. The switched prescription was over 8 months old. Can't the GREED wait until I can discuss the drug with the doctor as this is the only reason I go in once a year? 3 of my friends also had this happen here in California and they are fuming. It is costing INSURANCE more money as we have to do extra office visits and fire doctors,etc. My drug was not one of the expensive ones in the first place!
