Not that I need to give another example, but I will :-)
Medicare advantage plan wanted Prior auth for generic Robaxin.
Then another Medicare advantage plan was concerned that I was treating a patient for GERD, who has a BMI of about 55, the heaviest patient in my practice, with generic ranitidine (Zantac) for too long (costs $4/month at Walmart). Currently I don't take new patients with Medicare advantage plans, but am considering dropping existing patients who switch to them.
