[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.

I did contact my insurance company.  They said that they would cover any of the GLP meds as long as it is documented that I have Type II DM.

I spoke with the manager at my doctor's office this morning and asked that the chart notes and lab work be sent to my insurance company.

When I checked with the insurance company a couple of hours later, they said they had received the chart notes, but that my birthdate was left off the prior authorization form, so it needs to be resubmitted with the proper identification.

I am very frustrated with my doctor's office.  Such basic things they refuse to do, then do incorrectly.

My doctor spends the entire appointment complaining about how paperwork is such a pain, but when I asked him what I should do for blood sugar in the mid-300s, he said, "Well, what do you expect, you have uncontrolled diabetes."

Is my future just one of diabetes and complications?  I am very worried.

It sounds like whoever handles the prior-authorization is careless.  I would switch doctors.
