No, your insurance won't cover it!

Man, some shit won't even cover a flu shot without prior authorisation.

So we know your doctor, who you have been with for years and intimately knows your medical history, has made the informed determination that you need this medication to survive.

However, we don't want to pay for it, even though our formulary says we can, so we hired this pharmacy specialist to decide for you and your doctor that you don't qualify.

Thanks for continuing to pay us a lot of money for not covering your meds!
