Tis all about the money with insurance companies and not about real people with real diseases. . Sad but very true. I have had to fight many times and even with an advocate for one of my children about a “medically necessary “ surgery for cleft lip and palate . And even then the insurance denied us saying it was cosmetic! I also find many generic brands for prescriptions aren’t as good as the name brand. Nexium was way better for me than the generic and even when my doctor wrote “ medically necessary “ they still only gave me the generic esomeprazole. Profit before people unfortunately . The only time I can honestly say insurance was helpful was with Arikayce but most likely because I had the Assistance Fund, and it was a clinical trial. Irene5
