I have been trying to refill my prescription since the new year. I have been told many times that they (Optum) are having a hard time submitting the claim. At first they stated that my insurance had changed. I have had the same insurance for the past 18 yrs. Nothing has changed. Then they (Optum) stated that my group number changed. I have viewed, reviewed, and viewed again on my card and via the insurance website and nothing has changed. I have five days left on my Rx and now they are yelling PA (prior auth). When you call, the message is that there is a longer than usual hold time due to recent events...SUCH AS? I am completely frustrated and hate to keep bothering my provider about this less than speedy pharmacy. I just don't understand why my place of business do not offer this prescription, which also owns a chunk of Optum Rx, its a hospital that have many pharmacies.
I guess the worst part is OptumRx not following up with me when they stated that they would. BLAH!
