[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a public school teacher in MCPS. I have an autoimmune disorder and have successfully been in remission since taking a medication for the last decade.  I got a notice that this medication will no longer be 
covered as of July 1.  There is no generic version of my medication and I have unsuccessfully tried 2 out of the 4 alternative medications the insurance policy is offering instead.   Buying the medication out of pocket will cost $1500 a month which would be very
tough on my salary.  My doctor wrote an appeal letter but it is possible that the appeal may be denied or that the process will take long beyond when I run out of my medication.  The benefits director for MCPS is saying that he can't do anything to advocate for me.
Is there anything else I can do?  Without the medication, I will have cramping, diarrhea, intestinal inflamation, etc. and it will be difficult to do my job[/quote]

Have you tried talking to the state mediation program?
