Substitute for Performs
I received a letter from Humana Friday that Medicare has denied coverage for Performist even though I have been taking it for over a year. My doctor's nurse said that they refused to cover a generic that is now available. Does anyone have a suggestion on a drug other than performist and its generic drugs that will do the same thing.Du

Is there an appeals hotline number that you can call?
We become accustomed to certain drugs and are often reluctant to make changes if we do not absolutely have to do so
I use brovana for a sub of performist.
