comment on [Caution] stacking with a sulfonylurea is a real hypo risk, not a theoretical one in c/t2dglp1 · 9 points · 1 days ago
Strongly agree. A1c matters as much as weight.
comment on [Win] four denials, three appeals, one external review, approved in c/insurancefights · 367 points · 3 days ago
This is the single highest-value insight in the community and it took me three years to learn it too. Do not argue that you deserve coverage. Demonstrate that you meet the published criteria, in their order, in their vocabulary.
The three sentences that got mine through: state the exact criterion, state your documented value or history against it, cite the page of the plan document. Repeat per criterion. No narrative, no appeal to fairness.

side effects that ended someone's run
comment on [Appeal] the external review process nobody tells you exists in c/insurancefights · 43 points · 5 days ago
Flair changed to match the content. Read the sidebar before posting next time and we are square.
comment on [Denied] employer carve-out was in the plan document, not the summary in c/insurancefights · 7 points · 6 days ago
external review is the appeal after insurance says no
comment on [Win] approved after i sent them their own policy criteria back in c/insurancefights · 46 points · 9 days ago
Flair changed to match the content. Read the sidebar before posting next time and we are square.
comment on [PCOS] my androgens moved before my weight did in c/glp1women · 5 points · 14 days ago
Titration speed is a side-effect dial far more than an efficacy dial.
comment on [Discussion] denial reason codes decoded, mostly fixable paperwork in c/insurancefights · 26 points · 16 days ago
This is an urgent-care question wearing a forum question's clothes. Please contact a clinician rather than waiting for replies.
comment on [Failure] vendor vanished mid-order with 11 people waiting in c/darkspot · 5 points · 18 days ago
The thing nobody prepared me for was the quiet.
Adding to this: what went wrong is doing more work than the comment implies.
comment on [Win] HSA dollars changed the real cost by a third and i nearly missed it in c/insurancefights · 66 points · 19 days ago
No. This is the kind of confident post that gets copied into a screenshot and repeated for years. Where is the evidence.
comment on someone explain denial to me like I have not read a paper in years in c/insurancefights · 126 points · 25 days ago
prior auth criteria are state-specific, step therapy differs
comment on [Failure] fridge died in a heatwave and i lost three months of material in c/darkspot · 18 points · 26 days ago
still evidence-based: what went wrong, when, proof
comment on [PSA] A1c is not what most of this community thinks it is in c/t2dglp1 · 1 points · 1 months ago
CGM traces tell a story, numbers alone do not
Yes, exactly this, and it is the bit that took me 93 weeks to accept.
comment on unpopular opinion: step therapy is massively overrated in c/insurancefights · 55 points · 1 months ago
Retitled to remove editorialising. Put the evidence in the body.
comment on [Discussion] can we stop arguing about external review until somebody posts a number in c/insurancefights · 7 points · 1 months ago
Every time this gets posted it hits the front page and every time someone has to re-explain it.
comment on does step therapy actually matter or is it forum lore at this point in c/insurancefights · 80 points · 1 months ago
the carve-out clause varies by employer
comment on my A1c moved and I cannot work out whether ice pack is why in c/coldchain · 46 points · 1 months ago
The gel pack lasted 13 hours in a courier van, then liquid.
Disagree on that part. 97.4% and 97.6% on the same vial is normal.
comment on [PSA] jurisdiction is not what most of this community thinks it is in c/customs · -5 points · 1 months ago
Crossposting this to c/retatrutide because the people who need it are not reading this community.
comment on am I the only one who found data logger harder than the injections in c/coldchain · 30 points · 2 months ago
I love that this community will spend 40 comments on a detail. That pedantry is why the numbers here matter.
