Insurance company denied medication renewal.
After years of suffering with plaque psoriasis and trying multiple treatments, my Dr. finally got me on Skyrizi. It was life changing. I went from severe to almost 100% clear! No side effects and easy to administer. Been in it for almost 2 years and it felt like I no longer had the disease. The other day I got notified from my insurance company that they would no longer authorize Skyrizi and would need to try cheaper drugs. One of the options is to go in Humira. I hate the idea of stopping something that works and going on something that may not be as effective. I’m currently appealing but it doesn’t look good. My insurance is United Healthcare and I wish I could sue them if my Psoriasis returns and I can’t go back to Skyrizi!
Has anyone had experience in my situation and what did you do? Also, has anyone has success downgrading to a statistically less efficient drug like Humira?
I’m pretty upset because my Skyrizi dose is next week and I have to start over in new treatments. I already feel the itch returning.
