[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am the end of my rope and maybe someone can help. UHC denied Focalin XR after my daughter being on this for three years and not issue. We tried Focalin, Concerta and Adderall. None of those work. I have had my daughter home for three days because I cant sent her to school. We tried Adderall again and she is Manic per the doctor yesterday and said remove her form the Adderall. WTH do I do? Now UHC says its not in your plan. I pay allot for PPO and this is not in the plan. I have had no issue with BC/BS or Cigna over the years. This is really bad putting my 12 year old through med hell.[/quote]

Oh they said I could appeal which takes weeks. I asked why put us through this if it was not in the plan to begin with. No real reply other than I don't know. I asked I have a great plan and I assume UHC overall does not cover this Focalin XR. I don't know that answer they say. I said I need to speak with someone who can help me. They put me hold for 8 minutes then I get the automated " You have reached the Pre Authorization Dept.. I have had healthcare since 18 and never had such a difficult time as I have with UHC. also, our DR. noted the past and that this is in fact medically necessary.[/quote]
