My Mom was diagnosed with dementia this past Fall. Since then we have had to lock up her meds. I go to my Mom & Dad's house twice a week to fill her pill box. Dad gives Mom her mail when it comes in, even the mail that contains her med refills. Today, her pill bottle refill has gone missing, assume results of her dementia. Dad now knows he can't give her, her med refills anymore. Are there any options to get another 90 day refill paid by insurance? All I know of is GoodRx, and that gives a discount. The med is Eliquis, blood thinner.
Ask the doctor if he can change treatment to a diff blood thinner that insurance will cover. Sometimes a diff script will work.
I think you should have the meds if not all the mail transferred. Dad was showing signs of dementia himself if not denial about mom’s condition. Well I just checked your profile and dad has dementia also? Do you have POA for them both?
Something like this is crazy making but helps us know it is time to make significant changes.
Personally with something as lethal as blood thinners I would have to do a COMPLETE search of the home. First I would call the mail order to make sure they were mailed. Dad may think he gave them to mom because he always gives her her mail but didn’t. What does she normally do with her mail? Think about that and look for other mail he may have given her. I’m sorry this has happened. Let us know how you handle this. We learn from one another.
Hugs to you all. Take extreme care of yourself. We are all stressed these days.
