Quick one. Canada here. reflux works very differently where I live than in the threads that dominate the front page, and I keep seeing people confidently given advice…

Are you on a pen or research vial? The formulation changes the profile.

Which plan type? external review is different.

Denied for prior auth, resubmitted with copay documentation, approved on appeal. The criteria exist, you just have to meet them.

Copay was external review for the copay then another 19% of the total. Read the actual plan document.

Strongly agree. Step therapy is predictable if you have the criteria.
denial. That is the whole post, but I will justify it. Everything else people worry about in c/meta is downstream of it. Titration speed, reflux, the endless dose…

early fullness at 12.5mg is different from 10mg

Strongly agree.

Is that before or after you stabilized your sulphur burps?

comment on the prior authorization question that gets asked weekly, answered properly in c/insurancefights · 32 points · 1 months ago
external review is the appeal after insurance says no

Yeah, the muscle cramps hit on day 20 for me too, not day 1.
