Thanks everyone. I didn't see all of these in my email. Just one from Wendell. But, that allowed me to all of them. Fascinating.
Yes we are lucky here with MaineCare. Only because of one governor. Close to private reimbursement. There is only two plans, the difference being referrals. PAs suck, but pretty easy to navigate. They do Drug Utilization Reviews and if Symbicort outbids Advair, it's preferred for that round.
One great thing about MaineCare is NO COPAYs and unless they lose it, no back balances. Plus, one MC patient means two or three as the parent just asks to have the other two seen without a copay. The difference in entitlement though is unbelievable.
