My doctor prescribes 9 Imitrex (the generic) every month. I work as a Firefighter/ Paramedic in the Arizona heat and they sometimes trigger migraines. When our department switched to United Health Care I went to get my prescription refilled. Instead of the normal 9 pills (which come in a nice packet) I only received 4. They said it was a 30 day supply when I called. When I looked on-line at their website it said it was a 10 day supply. So, I am suppose to pay a $15 co-pay every 10 days for my meds. If I don't get treated for the migraines right away as the Imitrex does I end up in the ER. Not a good thing when I am on shift and need to be ready to save lives and help those in need. I have had to go to the ER before on shift before Imitrex was on the market. It was not a fun experience. Not to mention costly. I don't understand how an Insurance company trying to save money can justify this. If I end up in the ER it is extremely costly to them as well as me. So, if I am only allowed 4 in a month during the wicked heat we endure here in central Arizona I can guarantee I will have more them 4 migraines. I catch them quickly and take my meds. it doesn't effect my job performance. If I don't my whole crew is effected and can't go out on a call that could save someone's life. This just makes no sense to me.
