A doctor can prescribe medicine, but that doesn’t mean that the insurance company will pay for it. Many people don’t think this makes any sense. This was posted on X/Twitter by Jesse Thorn on April 9, 2022, and received over145,000 likes:

Absolutely wild that the doctor can suggest an MRI, CT Scan, etc (life saving scans), and the insurance company can be like “nah, not feeling it”

Pretty great when a doctor can say you need this test or medicine and a random middle man at an insurance company can be like “eh, not feeling it”

why do people not realize it’s batshit insane that a doctor (who, you know, treats illnesses for a living) can be like “this is what you need to get better” and a goddamned health insurance company can be like “nah sounds fake fuck you” and we just accept it as reality

Person at the clinic helping me: “ok we just need one more round of lab tests showing low testosterone then we can submit paperwork, wait for the denial, then they will probably let us do a peer to peer”
Incredible system we have here!
