So my doc and his nurse dont usually work Fridays but she says they are really busy and she's doing a half day today...
She said Id have to call my insurance and have them send her a prior authorization form... Then she said a local compounding pharmacy will do a 40mg/5ml 5ml vial for a mere $280.00 and my insurance might even cover it That would cover my script for one month....
I found this place http://www.stroheckersrx.com/estradiol-v...mpound.php
They are a compounding pharmacy doing 40/mg/ml pretty cheap and I asked her to please call them and if possible have them formulate 10 or 20mg/ml in a 10ml vial but even if they cant my best option is trying their 40/mg/ml 10ml vial for $59.95 plus shipping...
She said that sounds good to her as well but she's going home for the weekend and she will call it in Monday
Thats cheaper than my co pays can possibly be for a 10 months supply Im thinking... Im still gonna make a claim with BCBS but I can handle just paying for it if I have to... Hopefully this all gets worked out soon way to much BS here
I just made my appointment for Dr Speigels pre surgical labs and exam for 2-6... He wants a bunch of labs that will require fasting overnight... I set it up to be 4 days after my shot but Im gonna make sure its a bit lower than the 637pg/ml three days after my shot so nobody flips out
I have 4 more shots before then and I guess Im gonna taper down again starting with the next one... Last shot was 18mg... Next one probably 12mg then 8mg then probably only 6mg before my next test... Hopefully its all good and I am interested in seeing all the results
THEN Im gonna probably go with another big shot or two before Im supposed to "stop all hormones" 2 weeks before surgery... Im planning to probably go off my AA's and P a few days to a week before but Im planning on just tapering down E and going a bit light for surgery...
For my last surgery I never stopped anything and I was just FINE, Im not gonna even bother bringing it up and arguing with them though...
