Denied Homeowners Insurance Coverage Calif

However, during the transition, some students—at least 15-20 at the Shopper’s Drug Mart on campus, said pharmacist Nathan Swartsman—were denied coverage for prescription drugs that were previously covered, despite insistence that the plan is nearly identical.

Although she has now been informed that her coverage will continue, PhD student Deirdre Curle was denied coverage when she tried to renew her prescription this September. She requires non-generic Type II diabetes medication.

“When I came to UBC in September 2010 to start my doctoral program, Sun Life agreed to cover my prescriptions, even though they’re not covered by Pharmacare, as long as I provided a form asking for an exception signed by my doctor,” said Curle.

“But when I went in to fill my prescriptions this fall, the pharmacy assistant informed me that my drugs were no longer covered because the AMS decided to switch to Pacific Blue Cross.”

Curle uses a more expensive drug, since generic drugs such as Glucatrol caused negative side effects including slurred speech and tremors.
