For those of you whose babies were approved for the shot, has your LO gotten the first one yet? I feel like most people are already anticipating the second one and we've heard nothing from our pedi. We got the approval letter from our insurance company months ago but at my daughter's last check-up (about a month ago) the doctor seemed pretty clueless about when the shot would come in, if it would come to my house or the clinic, etc., etc. I'm frustrated b/c we're practically into December here... what's the holdup? Is this normal?
Re: Another synagis question...
Usually there is someone at the office who is in charge of Synagsis shots. Call the office and ask to speak to that person.
Also keep in mind that RSV season varies by state, so some states will start sooner than others.
This.
I would call your doctor and your insurance pharamcy. In my situation, the doctor office told me that they haven't heard anything yet. So I called my insurance (united health care) and found out who handles the procurement of synagis and they said it was Medco. They gave me the number to Medco and they had a team dealing with just synagis. What I found out was the Medco never got anything my doctor and gave me the faxed number to give my doctor. Turns out the Dr's office had the wrong faxed number on file.
After that we got a letter from the Insurance (UHC) saying the Medco is handling the procurement of synagis. Then I called Medco to expedite the process and within 2 days the synagis was at the doctors office.
