For people who have gone to see Dr. Crisler

[Kingston pt]

If you tried to get your insurance to pay for your perscriptions, office visit or labs did they pay for them? Which ones did they pay for?
Thanks

I had a consultation with Dr Crisler back in Feb. My Dr. refused to work with him, so I went to the lab muself. They told me my insurance wouldn't cover it. So I did lots of research on my own and did my own home labs. I took all of this to my Dr. to let him know that I was dead serious on getting back my health....he wrote the prescription for the labs that Dr. Crisler ordered so I can do the bloodwork this week and put my health in Dr. Crisler's hands. My insurance will now pay for it. I have learned that nobody cares as much about my health as me, and it is up to me to let the Healthcare workers know that I intend to get my health back and they took an oath to help me. I guess I told you all of this because you have a right to have your health taken care of, and you pay your insurance and Dr. for that right. Good luck and stay persistant..it will pay off. By the way..IMHO it is always in your best interest to get the best..even if it costs more, So that's what I did

By the way, you can also get your labs done much cheaper at LEF.

Does insurance cover arimidex or Anastrozole? Is armour the med. used to treat low cortisol?
Thanks

My cortisol was low al 4 times of the day. It also came back I was hypothyroid. Armour is a dessicated thyroid med. It has t-4, t-3, t-2, t-1, and calcitonin in it. For cortisol they use Isocort (OTC), Hydrocortisone (Cortef), and Medrol. If your cortisol is low, it would also be a good idea to check your aldosterone and renin levels. It is my understanding that you need cortisol to carry the t-3 into the cells.

The best advice I could give you is to let the experts (Dr. Crisler) manage your health care. I have a minor in Biochemistry and this stuff is just mind-boggling. There are so many intricate details, that one miscalculation can not only screw the lab tests up, but more importantly your health.

As for aimidex being covered on your insurance, just call your insurance company and they will tell you all the medications that they cover.
