Hi Nuke, I got the script from my doctor and he even sent in a preauthorization, he's not the problem. Regence wants me to try something else first. I'm going to try and fight it direct to the insurance company.

His doctor cannot control whether his insurance company will cover V w/o first trying Tricor or not, not the doc's fault. He either needs a pre-auth letter, or as some suggested, fake taking Tricor - likely has to actually get a partial fill of the scrip or the insurance company will know he actually didn't take it, against their instructions/rules, whether they make sense or not, may constitute insurance fraud - then report to his doc one of the common nasty side effects so he can get insurance approval to get V. No other way around it - the fraud issue is very real, could lead him to lose his coverage.
