2010 Medicare Changes Demand Careful Review

I am currently disputing RxAmerica's denial of prescription payments that resulted in no coverage for a full year, even though the premium was paid for every month during that time period. The best part? The snafu is the result of RxAmerica's data base having my mother's birth date wrong.

I have spent untold hours on the phone, faxing and writing letters, but the issue is still not resolved. They keep requesting more documentation, when ALL of the documentation was provided to them with the Reimbursement Claim Form months ago. These Medicare drug companies are taking advantage of the very elderly citizens they claim to care about.

The Musical Chairs Formulary is another scam. This week your drug is IN the Formulary, next week it's NOT. What a joke. The elderly are ripped off BIG TIME by the insurance companies, and, literally, it's every elderly person for themselves.

In my 92 year old mother's case she's lucky that, me, her 64 year old daughter does not take "no" for an answer. RxAmerica will reimburse my Mom for all of the prescriptions, and until they do I will be a continuous thorn in their side, who will advise to everyone on every web site I can, to advertise their unfair tactics until they set it straight for my Mom.
