I have been diagnosed with severe ADHD, accompanied by veryt rapid cycling bi-polar, very slight tourette's syndrome, chronic or acute depression, and a few others, lol. I just switched Insurance carriers to Medicare / Secure Horizons, and I cannot get my Adderall covered. I have been on it for 3-4 years with no side effects, but according to Sav-ons Drug store, Secure Horizons will not cover adderall for ANYONE OVER 18. WHY NOT!!!! ADHD is a permanent chemical Imbalance in the brain, and Adderall < or ritalin/dextro-amphetamine and other class 2 stimulants > are routinely Rx'ed to adults.
Why is the insurance company denying me what is needed, just cause my age is over 18?
Anyone else have these problems?
Anyone have an Idea on how to win this fight?Thanks
