That reminds me of the time two years ago when I got my first prescription for Ambien. A few months later I was getting a new individual health insurance plan to replace the group plan that I was on. It turned out that the prescription for Ambien was a sticking point with BC/BS of NC. I had to explain to them why I had it prescribed, etc. I ended up having to pay a higher rate because of that. (rant for another day....)

Anyway, when I needed more I just asked the doc and he writes a new prescription. Shaking his head as to why someone would want to fly to London and turn around and come back and sleep during the whole thing.
Oh, and for some reason I do not run it through the prescription benefit program.
