step therapy

step therapy — what am I missing here. Searched first, found three threads that contradict each other, hence the post. Asked for the policy bulletin by number and wrote…

Spain: copay, and what it actually costs here. Not a hot take, just something I have not seen said plainly here. External review was the thing that finally worked. I…

can we stop arguing about appeal until somebody posts a number — that is what I am asking, and I have already read the wiki twice. External review, which is the most…

Trying to get a straight answer on this: Spain — has anyone got a straight answer on denial. Employer-sponsored plans may be regulated differently from individually…

the step therapy question that gets asked weekly, answered properly, and I am aware this is a minority view on this board. Kept a log with every date, name of…

Germany: external review, and what it actually costs here — a position I have arrived at slowly and would like tested. Employer-sponsored plans may be regulated…

Slightly embarrassed to be asking this, but: someone explain external review to me like I have not read a paper in years. Documented eighteen months of what had been…

The title is the argument: unpopular opinion: most of what gets said here about denial is guesswork. Here is the rest of it. New plan year, entirely new criteria, and…

Something I keep coming back to: denial is doing more work than we give it credit for. Documented eighteen months of what had been tried in a one-page table. That table…

Question in the title, detail here: how much of what we believe about step therapy actually comes from prior authorization threads. Prior authorisation criteria are…

Posting this as a discussion rather than a claim: the copay thing finally clicked for me and I want to write it down. Why step therapy denials feel unfair and are…

why does nobody talk about formulary — that is what I am asking, and I have already read the wiki twice. External review, which is the most underused mechanism…

help me understand appeal, I have read the wiki twice. I would rather ask a basic question now than get this wrong quietly for two months. External review was the thing…

three years of appeal threads, summarised so you do not have to read them. I have gone back and forth on this for months. Kept a log with every date, name of department…

Question in the title, detail here: why does nobody talk about denial. New plan year, entirely new criteria, and the denial that had been immovable in the autumn simply…

reading prior authorization threads from 2024 and half of it aged badly, which sounds obvious until you try to state the evidence for it. Prior authorisation criteria…

The title is the whole question — genuine question about denial that I am slightly embarrassed to ask — but here is why I am asking. Prior authorisation criteria are…

appeal — 4 things I got wrong before I got it right — a position I have arrived at slowly and would like tested. Missed a deadline because I counted from when I opened…
