Overpaid doctors would have had to accept the insurance payment as payment in full. Now they can keep pushing costs up.

Holy crap, I was just discriminated against in one of the worst ways. My insurance #AnthemBlueCross has been pushing me to use their #online #pharmacy #carelonrx since I signed up. I finally got everything switched over, they filled most of my #prescriptions including #spironolactone and #progesterone but when I went to fill my #estradiol things got wonky.

The first call I made to them they just said that the processing had been delayed, but then I saw that the order was outright cancelled 1/
