When it comes to approving brand name over generic, we would ask if the generic had been tried by at least 2 manufacturers, as the inactive ingredients would be different. You can ask your pharmacy to look back in the claims to see if you have tried more than one manufacturer. If you try another and still have GI symptoms, your insurance company may grant an authorization for the brand. You can call them and see if this would be acceptable. If this doesn't work, I would recommend the appeals process, as I saw a lot of denial overturned on appeal.MrsSpockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10792687516201324640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-690850457652849477.post-27442742009398864542011-08-17T07:26:16.076-07:002011-08-17T07:26:16.076-07:00I used to go to WebMD all of the time... but I fin...I used to go to WebMD all of the time... but I find myself at the Mayo Clinic more often than not.
