To those who have been prescribed BTG Ox and had insurance pay for it...

[JibbyJabba]

First off, I hate you lucky basards...

My question is how did you get insurance to cover it? Did your doctor have to write a letter of medical necessity on your behalf? Or, is your insurance provider so badass it didn't even question covering the $4k a cycle of this shit would cost, despite your obvious lack of a medical need for it? If so... what health insurance do you have?

I'm about to be on Humana PPO, which I have heard is pretty good about covering things, but I couldn't imagine they would like to fund my next cycle...

man i'd love to have insurance pay for an ox-only cycle for me too. maybe i should intentionally lower my test levels so i can do it...

corrupt doctor bro...that's your only shot. and i know from experience

My Dr. wrote me a script and my drug card on my PPO covered it for a $20 copay...not sure how she coded it to be covered...but she did and it worked. I have been getting 120 tabs 2.5 mg BTG for $20 a refill

I like to think of it as an athletically progressive, sympathetic doctor. I already have that, I am just worried my insurance will not be on board and I can not pay this out of pocket:

HYS - what is your insurance provider?

doctors do not need to justify a reason for prescribing a medication. there are not exclusions for specific drugs on your health insurance policy.

a doctor would have to be careful not to abuse this. they could risk a malpractice suit or risk losing their license. what would an ethical doctor possibly have to gain by writing a presciption for AS for someone who does not medically need them?

to hotyngswinger: what medical condition do you have that your doctor would prescibe BTG? are you not telling us something?

 

[matto18]

WOW!

you can alway go to an online HRT site and get 'prescribed' a cycle. Alot of times insurance will cover it. Unfortunately you kinda have to put up the cash first and then find out if insurance will cover it, so it's kind of a gamble.

Sorry, but you are way off. Doctors are not given absolute discretion over whether a patients medications are paid for.

Most insurance companies have a list of medications that require "prior authorization" or are simply not covered... the drugs on this list are always expensive. I work in clinic that writes lots of scripts for very heavy narcotic medications, like Oxycontin and Kadian - these are also very expensive medications. We have cancer patients in horrible, chronic and intractable pain, whose PPO insurance will deny payment for these medicaitons and require our doctors to write a letter of medical necessity in order to pay for 75% of the cost of them. These are people who have an absolute 100% medical need for these drugs and the insurance companies will still put up road blocks.... why? Because people try, and do, screw the system.

Most times, when it is going to cost an them ass load, Insurance companies will want justification from the prescribing doctor in the form of a letter saying "in my professional opinion this medication is necessity... blah blah"

And there are doctors out there that will write prescriptions for AS. Most of them, however, will not be interested in atracting the attention that would go along with pleading your case to your insurance company, unless of course you have a compelling medical reason.

I know for a fact, there are people on this board who have absolutely no medical need for Oxandrolone, but have not only gotten a script for it, but actually gotten insurance to pay for it.

How'd you do it? The insurance part, that is...

This only works with Test, something that doesn't cost insurance much anyways.

It's BTG Ox I am after... I am Ahab.
