Yes! I had 3 doctors who wanted to file a class action suit against [my insurer] for playing doctor - they refused almost every script I tried to fill…

Every time [my daughter] needed antibiotics, her doctor gave me samples because the insurance company took 10 days.

. . . they wouldn’t authorize [my sweetheart’s] meds in time so his current prescription ran out and we had to go to the hospital for pain control. They are heartless!!

– Lisa R., Arizona

Would no longer authorize same injection meds to knees I had been getting for years and had to settle with some half-ass stuff that didn’t even work.

– Barglen C., Texas

Still trying to get a diabetes med that works for me but [my health plan] is being a complete pain about it!!!

– Kim H., Ohio

My prior authorization story from hell. I've been on the same med since 2017. Every time I go to get it refilled they always need a prior authorization.
