When I received my first Lovenox prescription 19 days ago, it was for twice daily injections for a month. The insurance company only authorized payment for doses for 14 days. Dr. Leitch submitted pre-authorization documentation including case studies of this drug therapy for treatment of this condition to the insurance company for coverage for the balance of the month.
It took a couple weeks but this pre-authorization was finally approved today for the rest of the month's doses and I picked up 10 of the remaining 20 doses today. There was some other insurance issue that prevented me from picking up the remaining doses but I was assured by the pharmacist that I could pick them up tomorrow.
I have an appointment with her before the month is up to discuss how the treatment is working. Assuming there are no issues, I assume we will continue this course of treatment for the foreseeable future.
