I read a few weeks ago on
Lil Chris's blog that the WeeCare program was going to possibly get cancelled. They supply Olivia with her Creon 5 and Vitamax (3 months at a time) for free until she's 3 years old. I called Clinic to have them call in the change to Olivia's precription (to change it from 3 to 4 before meals). When I went online to check, it showed her prescription was for qty. 360 of Creon 6. I was confused by the quantity and change of formula, so I called Clinic and they were going to call CF Services Pharmacy to correct the amount. Well, I am now getting another 720 - which brings us to 1080, just a little shy of the necessary 2160...Ok, moving on. So I called CF Services Pharmacy to inquire why a bill was sent with the order and the woman informed me that the WeeCare program was cancelled on June 31, 2009!! I asked why I didn't receive notification and she said that I did. Wouldn't I know if I received notification? She said it probably went into my Junk folder. I told her again that I received no notification and that I frequently check that folder. She asked for my e-mail address to check to see if it was on the list. Lo and behold, we weren't on the list. If I had known it was going to be cancelled, I would've placed an order on June 30 or ordered it through Medco (our mail order prescription company) which is WAY cheaper. CF Services will charge $100 for 1 month and Medco will charge $200 for 3 months.
Do you guys ever feel like your drowning?
Update: The price I gave above is our co-pay price. I read on CF Services Pharmacy website that each Creon 6 pill is $0.83 and she takes 20 pills a day so (at $16.60/day or $498/month) I should be rejoicing in that fact that we have insurance and only have to pay the co-pay.

I'm sorry you had to deal with all that. Your insurance doesn't cover it? We only have to pay a small co-pay.
Yes, I sometimes do feel like I'm drowning and I hate to be honest, but that feeling will re-emerge time after time. After a day like that, which I had about three weeks ago, I go out and eat a ton of mexican food because in my mind, that helps me solve every problem in the world.
I'm sorry that was so stressful for you.
Gosh that is really stressful... I also know that all these drugs are so expensive and sometimes it is really hard to even rejoice over only making a co-payment... some dont realize how fast co-payments can add up.... Sorry you had a bad day...
