i called NYS Adap to see if they received my paperwork (no, grumble, will remail) and asked about being forced into a mail order pharmacy. ADAP are wonderful sympathetic people, but the only thing they could suggest was to appeal the decision, and if i run out of meds, to call them and they will deal with it. They also wanted to be kept in the loop for the outcome.
Last night i did research on mail order pharmacies (nothing good about them at all) and discovered that NYS has a law against being forced into using one under most circumstances. For once i fall under most circumstances. Having an individual policy i can not be forced into one for critical meds. i called the NYS Attorney Generals' Health Care line (1-800-426-9071) and shockingly a person picked up on the third ring. She took all my information and said with personal policy i am covered under the law (from what I read last night Oxford is not very good following this law). She took down all my information (including insurance and doctro) and said a health care advocate will call me to discuss it. Today is friday so i am not going to expect a call today, though i know ADAP returns a call the same day, not too sure about this.
