About effin' time.

I finally got a letter in the mail from my insurance company.

They have finally pulled their heads out of their asses and have decided to "overturn their previous decision to deny coverage of Provigil."

About effin' time.

This has been a battle about 1 1/2 years in the making.  After being prescribed the medication for Multiple Sclerosis and being denied coverage on several occasions (and losing my multiple appeals), the doctors decided to go another route in January when I was in for my follow-up appointment.  The NP sent me for a sleep evaluation to see if perhaps we could get the miracle drug prescribed to me by a sleep doctor for a different (covered) reason.

3 doctor appointments, several lung function tests, 1 chest x-ray, and 21 hours worth of time spent in a sleep lab later, and I was ultimately diagnosed with narcolepsy, a disease for which Provigil is a covered treatment.

Suckers.

Of course, we still played games with the insurance company... games that resulted in my dancing with the devil of Adderall... but now, I will finally get my drug.
