Can anyone explain why an insurance company would approve a prescription with multiple refills, then about half way through the refills suddenly ask for a prior authorization? Especially since that interrupts a medication that must be taken regularly to be fully effective.

sometimes they do it if the refill is made by a new company or generic?

Thanks, but this is for emgality, a monthly injection of antibodies to prevent migraines. I've been on that and Ajovy for several years. Insurance keeps doing this to me. They don't save any money and I have to live through more migraines while it is sorted.

Blue cross. Man, I'm sorry your company gave you such a horrible time. It's always bad when accountants are deciding what sort of healthcare you get and how much you have to pay for it.
