Hello! (from healthcare to health insurance)

[Laniebug007]

Hello! We started on “Telehealth Tirz” in late Feb. It’s been a crash course, but with some medical background, I’m managing it for both of us. My husband has health insurance experience, so he’s following that closely. Really hoping Tirz to eventual Reta becomes more affordable. Novo can keep Sema. EL needs to consider the cost burden on couples and families. I have multiple physicians on Tirz. One is telehealth stocked up! They are all supportive. Glad to have found this forum!

It is great that your provider is supportive. Not all are. My doctor is supportive, even knows where I get my Tirz. Not all are, however. My friend wanted her doctor to prescribe it and they physician flat out refused.

That really sucks when the physician is not on board with glp 1 meds. They do so much and for so many. Did your friend change doctors?

Not yet but but she is thinking about it. For now, she is going with a telehealth provider and compounding but has elected to without disclosure to her provider.

Hey, you gotta do, what you gotta do. It would be so much better for your friend to have her doctor follow along with her health goals/choices. So much better all around. I wish her luck
