Lockport, IL

I was on Hysigla ER. A slow release hydrocodone. And it worked so well. But my insurance is not refusing to cover it because its not generic. Its a new med so there is no generic. My pain doctor has asked and sent letters 3 times why i need this medication but they still refuse. So i plan to call my insurance company.
So my Questions is: has anyone ever been able to get their insurance company to change their minds? If so what did you say/do?

There a lot of things that may or not help. First ? is why do you use that med versus others. Have you tried others? Second,what did the dr write in his letters and what exactly did the insurance company respondond with.
