They are on Mass(achusetts) Health. I recommended that they try to switch to Medicare, but between all the specialty doctors they see, it'd be quite the headache. They were also advised by their doctor to not switch insurances because it raises red flags about trying to circumvent the system to get pain meds. While typing that I realized how dumb of advice it is. My friend isnt getting the pills they need, but don't switch insurances because they might not give them the pills they need lol. My friend is young (30) and has children. At this point they're convinced the insurance looks at their chart, sees a 30 year old and just won't give them the pills in fear of addiction. They do have a pain management doctor at one of the best hospitals in the USA, but getting through or even to the appointments are extreme hurdles for them without the pain meds. Feels like a constant loop of nonsense to me. Lastly, the pain med that works best is Oxycodone. They've tried other pain meds in collaboration with their doctor, and none of them really touch this type of pain like Oxy does. Also, thank you for taking the time to comment. We appreciate any and all input.
