Blue Cross and Wellness Pharmacy

Well, here I am having issues with Blue Cross and Wellness Pharmacy. First, Blue Cross forces users of what they deem "specialty" drugs to use their own Wellness Pharmacy (first red flag!). They sent me a letter a year ago saying I was not part of this because I have a PPO. Well, at the beginning of this year...all of a sudden, my Enbrel is delayed because I have to go through this specialty pharmacy!!! 12 weeks late!!!!! I won't tell you the "discomfort" (very mild word) this put me through. My doctor switched me to Humira...and here we go again. I called in the prescription a week and a half ago...PLENTY of time to get their tushies in gear and get the meds ordered and to me. They promised them to me today, Tuesday....well, guess what!?! No meds!!! Oh...so sorry they say, Blue Cross hasn't approved it..HUH???? What a bunch of bull---o---nee.....Ummmm...can someone tell me this? They told me they would call me if they hit a glitch...well, I call that a glitch!!! Anyhow, I'm told I'll get it Thursday...but I'm a wreck now....falling apart because I'm so afraid of the breakout if it happens. Well....I'll keep you posted. My stomach is in knots!!!
