Insurance is a crock of bull!

So we saw our pediatrician the other day. I was really glad we went because we accidentally threw away some of our sleeping meds for Tyler. We talked about our options as far as new docs go so we can get more meds etc. She offered to write the refill for us till we got into the docs office.

I didn't remember to bring the bottle so I called the office and the regular nurse was gone. So the other nurse wrote down the info on the bottle. (It is NOT a controlled substance so no harm.) Ty takes a MINUTE amount. So tiny. But the nurse forgot to put a quantity on it.

She called it into the Walgreen's and Dallas went to fill it up. When he got there they told him that insurance would only cover one month and the script was for almost a years worth. We pay for a copay for 10 bucks a month. The entire years worth is only 27 dollars. We pay 120 bucks a year when we could have paid 30 and gotten all of it.

Makes us wonder what else we could pay CHEAPER!

What stinks is we NEED that insurance.
