    This is exactly me trying to get ahold of immunosuppressants to treat my Crohn’s Disease. I have to go through a specialty pharmacy owned by the insurance company. They bill to SaveOn, an assistance program, because my 30% copay works out to over $8K. They additionally bill against a discount/coupon program. If anything gets screwed up between the five systems of record I have to keep my data in (via phone calls, of course, because the self-service web portals are designed to give you incorrect data and accomplish nothing), then I spend weeks trying to correct everything and wind up getting my meds late.
