Deciphering Medical Jargon
Do any of you guys have difficulty deciphering medical lingo? After 39 years you’d think I’d have it figured out by now. Recently a medication that I’ve been on for 3+ years has been denied. Thankfully the doctors office negotiated with the pharmacy to give me a reduced rate to get it this month while we figure things out, but I just got a “Notice of Dismissal” from the Medicare prescription drug plan provider. Here’s what it says:
“We are writing to let you know that we have dismissed your request for coverage of the following prescription drug: XYZ
The request was dismissed for the following reason: Your prescriber’s request to withdraw the coverage determination request has been granted.”
Does that make any sense? There’s a phone number, so I suppose I’ll be on the phone for hours trying to figure it out.
