On July 29, 2015, Dr. Spencer Wilson conducted my upper and lower GIs. Upon completion, he told my husband and me that I have colitis and likely Rx would be Humira. He also told me he would be going on vacation and his assistant (Chris) would know what to do with results that likely would be available Monday, Aug. 3. He wrote me an Rx for Entocort and said upon results, I could start the med. I called Chris Aug. 3, she did not know what to do; results were sitting in Dr. Wilson's "inbox" and he had not reviewed. I asked if another MD in practice could review and she said they do not like to "swap" patients. Upon my insistence, she had another MD review and called me on Aug. 5 to tell me I may start Entocort for which I had an Rx in hand. Upon his return from vacation, I asked Dr. Wilson to call me. He did a couple of days after; he tells me I now have indeterminable colitis/Crohn's disease; he did not recall the discussion re: Humira; he also asked me about taking steroids which I told him -- without question -- I DO NOT WANT TO TAKE. Now I see that Entocort is a steroid. Also, he did put an Rx in for Humira upon my insistence. The Rx was denied by insurance. I called the insurance company and they said I needed to stay on Entocort for 60 days ...or they could start an appeal with a Letter of Medical Necessity from Dr. Wilson. I left Chris a phone message indicating I would be more than happy to write my situation and email to her. When she called me back, all she wanted to know was which drugs the insurance company needed me on before Humira. She would not listen to my need for a Letter of Medical Necessity; did not try to understand that Entocort was one of drugs and called the insurance company herself. So I am keeping a log of my daily situations on Entocort (a steroid I did not want to be on in the first place). I have lost more blood and thus energy, have lost more weight, continue to have lower abdomen pain and diarrhea constantly, not to mention what the steroids are doing to my body. All of this could have been resolved with a Letter of Medical Necessity from Dr. Wilson in order for me to appeal the Rx decision for Humira which would put me a step closer to remission. read more
