The ongoing saga with the UC Health Insurance Pharmacy "Benefits" Via Navitus

Well the saga continues. Here is an update.

It all started March 7. See here for a long thread and also responses.

Dear @UofCalifornia @ucdavis

This is NOT OK.

I just got a notice by letter in mail that my insurance will no longer cover the insulin I have been getting "as of January 1, 2022". Letter was dated in February and was received after March 1, 2022.

This is NOT OK.

Well, in case you missed it. Two weeks ago I posted about the disastrous and dangerous and incompetent new University of California pharmacy benefits "system" which warned me, two months after the fact, that they were cutting off coverage of my insulin 1/n https://t.co/QuTBaQBsaQ

See this thread in an easier to read format here https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1506297722776657920.html And then I got told Navitus was going to be instructed to cover my insulins by UCOP but the message clearly was not recieved.

Well - good news for me - I have been told that Navitus has been instructed to cover the insulin I have been using. More coming soon when I get confirmation and details.

And finally and thankfully today I was told my insulins would be covered.

Update - to the saga of the Navitus pharmacy "benefits" plan. I got a call today saying that my Novolog and Lantus insulin would indeed be covered by Navitus. Yay. I am very happy. Now I want to know what is going to happen to others who were harmed by the new plan ... https://t.co/yvtlODyIbz

I am now interested in what is happening to others out there who have been harmed by the UC / Navitus system.
