It will be necessary for each of us to take a carry on onto the plane to Florida to begin our five month journey. In that carry on case will be our medications. Sad but true. Most insurance companies will authorize 90 days of medications at a time, but as we will be away a full five moths, we need two batches. They do have an over ride program but it must be authorized by the doctors and you are only allowed two a year. Irritating but understandable.
The Walgreen's Pharmacy in Jackson is excellent. Efficient, polite and enthusiastic. In the past, we obtained our medicines from the mails from a company called Medco but it was difficult to get the medicines at the right time, so Ken investigated other options and we chose Walgreen. Their computers can be accessed from any of the pharmacies so we can obtain medicines in Texas too. It is very easy and we are pleased with their service.
Monday morning I spoke to the pharmacist and asked her to work on obtaining two 90 day batches of my medicine and eye drops. Today I picked them up. She talked with the insurance company multiple times, on some I am paying full price, but at least I am ready to go and stay healthy. Not easy, but she did it. Now she is working on Ken's list, which is much longer than mine. Good luck to her.
