What my diabetes educator arranged

What I would flag is that the criteria on my plan were reviewed annually, and I had assumed approval was permanent.

Somebody in this circle in my province walked me through the exact sequence of forms and saved me about three months.

Orrin has already said most of this and I want to add the one part that was different for me.

The supply has been reliable where I am, and my pharmacy has told me in advance the two times it was going to be tight.

Something practical: I have the plan's reference number and the pharmacy's direct line saved, because the general line takes forty minutes.

My prescriber wrote a supporting note that addressed the plan's criteria point by point, and that is what got the approval.

I read this twice. The second time was for the last paragraph.

Same here, and I am glad you said it first.

I would say ask what happens at renewal before you need to know, because mine required documentation I had to go and get.

The distances here mean an appointment is a half-day at minimum, and consolidating everything into fewer visits was the fix.

What I got wrong was assuming the first refusal was the plan's final position. It was a first pass and it was reversed.

Reading and nodding. Nothing to add, and I wanted you to know somebody had read it.
