I have been on Flector Patch for four years since my back operation, now United Health is denying my doctor's prescription saying that the FDA doesn't approve the patch for severe arthritis. The operation corrected my back problem but they couldn't do anything about all the arthritis, therefore I have been using the patch - one a day. As I said, this last prescription has been denied and I did put in a request for an appeal, but it was denied. Any suggestions as to what I can do......short of paying for it out of pocket ($700.00) for going to Canadian Drugs which is still a significant amount.
