I have no issues. Arkansas also administers the Ryan White Program, and for me, has done a great job. They make sure I see specialists like dermatology Opthalmology, once a year, and dentist every 7 months. I meet with my case worker once a year and see my HIV doc every 6 months. If you're in Arkansas, contact ARCare. They were a huge help. After that Everything is taken care of by disability. That'll stop here in a few years when it transfers to SS retirement.

I've only been denied one pre-approval specility drug and that was after Humania Medicare D approved it for 2 years and that was Egrifta for belly fat build up. First they told me my doctor used the wrong NDC code national drug code for it which was not true so I called Humania and their specility pharmacy said they no longer make the 2 mg. vial. Later I got a letter telling me they were unable to contact my doctor which is also not true. Speciality pharmacy managers are a real headache when trying to get approval. Finally my ID specialist said he was tired of dealing with them and I would have to get my regular doctor to prescribe it. I just gave up as they wanted. It is 6k a week and after a reduced belly for 2 years I began to worry about possible side effect with long term use as it's not been tested in those over 65. I even stopped using testosterone cypernate 200mg a week injections as most doctors want approve it because it increases red blood cells greatly or understand that HIV lowers a man's testosterone levels faster than usual. There is a doctor in another state as I live on Texas Oklahoma border who will prescribe it. It's does lower good chlorestrol and is really only used with active AIDS patients who are wasting awaym
