Jason’s Story

I’m a Type 1 diabetic. Although there is no cure for this disease, it can be managed with appropriate prescription medications and an insulin pump. I currently have to obtain prior authorizations for three of my medications…every single year. This year alone I spent at least 40 hours on the phone in connection with my prior authorizations. My insurance company is demanding that I work for it one week per year (i.e., 40 hours) to fight for the medications that my doctor and I know are in my best interest.
