I fear I may run out of seroquel xr soon and know that at the very least of I do my sleep schedule will suck and my mood stability may also suck, how do you deal with this? Im good about taking my medicine, but if the insurance cards don't come I guess ill have to be out for a few days.

You can't get the contract number from your insurance provider before the cards arrive?

Tyrantblade, how about getting just what you can afford from the pharmacy, or even borrowing the pills from the pharmacy.

Call your insurance provider and get your card number and information write it down and take it to your pharmacy. Make sure you provide name of insurance provider and phone number so the pharmacy can call the to verify information.

Call your doctor (receptionist actually) and explain things, Ask if the Doctor has samples they can give you to tide you over- they often will and if not, the receptionist can call other doctors and find one who does About half my occasionally-needed meds come to me this way. If they can't help you, ask if they can have the local Emergency Room dispense you some from the Hospital Pharmacy- most will for needed life-saving Meds.

Well idk about life saving, i think I can manage even If my medicine run out.

TyrantBlade, it was worth posting here, so it is worth checking with the doctor's front desk and following their advice.

My mom said she will get the insurance numbers tomorrow, so hopefully it shouldn't be too difficult for a pharmacy to run them because today I felt pretty miserable but also good (on and off, manic sometimes, crashing others)

You should be able to go to your insurer's website, log in, and print a card. Alternatively, you can call them and get the pertinent information over the phone.

Turns out I probably didn't need to wait, pharmacy already had the new information, was just a matter of using a lot of hsa money to cover the deductible on the medication.
