[quote=Anonymous]After 2 failed IUI cycles, I was so excited to find out Aetna covered 50% of my IVF and meds.  I was told I had to use their specialty pharmacy, and thought it would be similar to Freedom Fertility Pharmacy (which I used for IUIs and was awesome).

I recived my IVF meds on time, and was happy.  Originally, we thought my egg retrieval would be tomorrow or Wednesday, but now we're probably looking at Friday so some of the smaller follicles can play catch up.  I will need more meds to cover these extra days.

Easy, I thought.  I'll just call and get them refilled, since my meds even state I have 2 refills left.

Alas, I need an authorization - for refills.  Considering how long it took to get my initial authorization for meds, I'm not holding my breathe that it will be done in time for me to get my meds to take tomorrow evening.

Why oh why would you have this policy for fertility patients?  Everyone knows dosage can change unexpectedly, and the cycle can take longer than expected.  I am really peeved, and I don't need this stress when I'm so hormonal.

At this point, I'm guessing I'll have to go to a different pharmacy and pay out of pocket.  Hoping the SGFC nurse covering for my regualr nurse (who's out today) can get it done today.  Maybe I'll go through good old Freedom Fertility.

I hate Aetna now.[/quote]
