Yeah our system is fucked. I've only had insurance for about 7 years since I was self-employed before that and couldn't afford it but made just enough to not qualify for Medicare. I'm 40 and just starting to learn all these games people have to go through to get what they are paying for.
I've got one more 90 day refill before they stop covering it at the end of the year so I've been putting off talking to my doctor about alternatives that are covered, if there there are any, but now fuck'em I'm getting a drink and a snack, launching a game on my computer and calling them and sitting on hold all day until they reauthorize the fuckin med.
My favorite part of the letter they sent me was that I should consider over the counter alternatives. So your admitting you don't read patient records because my doctor literally put in my records that diet, exercise, and OTC meds were not enough and that's why she prescribed prescription strength meds.

Unfortunately that's the game you got to play cuz they're relying on people not doing what you're getting ready to do. At least you have a way to do it planned to where you're comfortable. They just hope people are too exasperated and hopeless to care or fight. They literally want you to die before they pay out.
