Q & A

Recently we saw a $12,000 prescription for a topical medication on a single claim and today we saw a similar bill for $15,000 for a two-month supply of a topical
medication on another claim. The prescriber is the same doctor and the issue seems to be in relation to the prescriber's office/practice. What can we do?
