MelissaKay, this is such good information. Thanks so much for posting it. I wish I had seen it before enrollment period ended, though I guess I still would have ended up with the plan I went with since it covers my drugs, but mostly because it covers Rebif.

I notice that you are a new member to this forum. I want to welcome you and say that I hope you will come and join us on other threads too. We are a fairly small group at the time, but all new members and old returning members are welcome. We are glad to see you.

WELCOME, MelissaKay!

I hope you're not looking at the Useful Websites sticky thread because it's currently undergoing some revision. It should be more usable in a week or so. Sorry for the inconvenience!

My mother is monitored by someone. I believe she was talked into this at a PMD appt. She turned down visits and finally agreed to a phone call every Weds afternoon. She says it's a nurse (I think it is an automated call). She is asked four questions that relate to congestive heart failure. These include trouble breathing; weight gain; swollen ankles and one more.

The reason I think it's automated is that instead of answering she has to push a button on the phone for yes or no.

It's probably a good thing to give her team a heads up and initiate intervention.

The one from BC/ BS has tried to get me to have a chronic disease nurse review and follow my case. I say no.

It’s hard to trust in that they have financial incentive to change to cheaper Meds.

Can a nurse legally do that without examining the patient? Or licensed in that state to practice?
