formulary is the most under-discussed thing in c/coldchain

Appeal Clean Column ×3 Sourced ×2

Something I noticed reading old threads that I have not seen said out loud.

The advice on copay in this community changed substantially around the start of last year, and nobody went back and updated the older posts. So depending on which thread the search engine hands you, you get two contradictory answers with the same confidence.

I have listed what I think the current consensus is below. Correct me — that is the point of posting it.

Disagree but this is the good kind of wrong — it is specific enough to be checked.

prior auth criteria are state-specific, formulary differs

u/prior_auth_painappeals1 point·3 months ago

Which plan type? step therapy is different.

formulary exclusions are negotiable sometimes

u/teodor_duarte92 points·3 months ago

Which state? Coverage varies.

Small correction: the trial was 15 weeks, not 19. Does not change your point but people will quote it.

u/marisol_moreau122 points·3 months ago

This is correct. Appeal letters work.

u/sofia_ferreira54 points·3 months ago

Denied for prior auth, resubmitted with external review documentation, approved on appeal. The criteria exist, you just have to meet them.

Retitled to remove editorialising. Put the evidence in the body.

No. This is the kind of confident post that gets copied into a screenshot and repeated for years. Where is the evidence.

Small correction: the trial was 3 weeks, not 27. Does not change your point but people will quote it.

Rodent data is rodent data. Dose scaling is not linear and the models tell you what to investigate, not what to expect.

The practical rule people converge on is 28 days at fridge temperature after first puncture, and that comes from the preservative, not the peptide.

denial reason codes matter, ask for the actual code

What was the denial code?

About c/insurancefights

The paperwork war. Prior-authorisation criteria, denial reason codes, step-therapy documentation, external review, employer carve-outs, and the appeal letter templates the community has iterated on for three years. Mostly US-shaped but the tactics generalise.

c/insurancefights rules
  1. Say which country and which plan type. "Insurance" means eleven different things.
  2. Redact member ids and group numbers from every screenshot.
  3. Do not suggest misrepresenting a diagnosis. That is fraud and it gets you banned.
  4. Independent community. Nobody here sells anything, and anyone who tries is banned.
  5. Not medical advice. Describe what you did; never prescribe to a stranger.
  6. Claims need evidence. Batch numbers, dated screenshots, independent test reports, or a citation.
  7. No referral links, discount codes or affiliate URLs. Permanent ban, no appeal.
  8. No contact handles, wallet addresses or tracking numbers — they identify people.
  9. Be recognisably decent. Disagree hard, insult nobody.
