Viagra & higher Mathematics at the insurance company.

["George J. Lussier" <glussier@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Colleagues,
   For several years, prior to my staged Bilateral Pallidotomy, I had struggled 
with my sexuality or lack there of and even when I had the surgery I was a tad 
behind my peers. It was like I was on the right golf course [Hi there Edie!]but 
for some reason I was dressed for tennis. Close but no cigar. So off I went to 
the Urologists, who are a happy bunch....always cracking jokes, and I tried the 
"insert" and the "inject". Nope, didn't work. Tried the "lope" and began to 
wonder if there were age limits among the Trappists monks. But I don't give up 
easily so I wrangled myself a script for 5 Viagra "Treatments" [pills]. And 
they worked!! I won't bore you with the details but they worked!!
   And now comes the really hard part. My insurance company declares that it 
will only pay for 12 "treatments" [pills]in any 90 day period
That's bad enough but they then apply their understanding of higher mathematics 
by including MY co-pay as a part of THEIR payment.
   In real terms my 12 "treatments" [pills] cost me $45[$15 co-pay for 3 
scripts. You can only have 4 a month that they will "cover". Of course you can 
have as many as you can afford at $9+ a pop.] The cost to them is about $63; 
not the $108 it would cost them if they didn't count MY $45 as part of THEIR 
payment.
   What am I missing?

Amazing grace! How sweet the sound
    that saved a wretch like me!
    I once was lost, but now am found;
    was blind, but now I see.
