gcarcamo -- I am delighted there is at least one other physician that won't kowtow to "prior authorization". If we could just spark a revolt -- maybe doctors could take back the playing field.
ALR -- "prior authorization" doesn't help resolve the "shortage" of doxycycline. It justifies the market manipulation that caused it.
Today I refused to grovel to PA -- couldn't prescribe doxycycline, so I prescribed clindamycin instead. If the patient gets necrotizing colitis and costs the insurance company a bundle, it will be too bad. A shame that patients have to suffer for our hard headedness.
