[quote=Anonymous]On 4/1/13, MDIPA apparently switched companies it used to handle its pharmaceutical coverage from Medco to Optim.  I ordered meds for my first-ever IVF cycle on 3/30 and got a call from Freedom Fertility (the only pharmacy that MDIPA covers for these drugs) about a week later telling me that Optim was denying coverage for all of my meds despite having an authorization on file for an IVF cycle that included all medications.  It's taken about a week, but I finally got Optim to honor the authorization and covemake r all of the meds except for one.  To save everyone else the hassle, I wanted to share the result of all this madness: if you're having trouble getting coverage, try having your RE send over the prescriptions/dosages to their "Specialty Pharmacy Program" rather than the regular pharmacy program, which will deny everything.  The number is 866-429-8177.  It literally took everyone (Freedom Fertility, United Healthcare, and Shady Grove) to figure this out and I almost missed my cycle start date.  Good luck to everyone![/quote]
