Prescription Woes

I’m working on a longer post about different ways to keep track of medication, but my wife is having problems with one of her doctors, who is refusing to refill a prescription at the moment.

We have a great prescription plan with my medical insurance, so the cost is rarely an issue. I have a certain amount of money taken out of my paycheck each month before taxes, and that gets put into a flexible spending account, which I then get reimbursed from throughout the year. This is the only way we can get a break on taxes as far as our medical expenses are concerned.

The most difficult problem is keeping track of what medications need to be refilled, so that we can order the refill and pick them up before we run out. I know that sounds like a no-brainer, but when you are dealing with over a dozen medications that have to be approved by four different doctors, coupled with the insurance company that will not re-fill a prescription unless you order the re-fill within a certain window of opportunity, then you have a situation that can get ugly very fast.
