Or they've given you only a small reimbursement toward a huge medical bill, and say that you owe the rest. Or you get a mumbo-jumbo filled, confusing letter that makes no sense at all, but basically tells you they're not paying some or all of your bill. But don't get discouraged. Here are twelve things you can do to help when your health insurance company won't pay. (Link to article)

Are you sure there isn’t a real shortage of Armour this time? My local pharmacy and my mail in company both say the 2 grain/120 gram is unavailable, and substituted me the 1 grain/60 gram to take two in its place.

Sheryl, I take 4 gr of Armour and this refill I received 1 gr, which means I take 4 pills each day. They no longer had the 2 grains.
BiMart. I will see what April’s refills brings. I can’t imagine taking 8 pills of .5 gr?
