Hello ladies! I have started the process of egg freezing and currently working with the fertility clinic nurse to get the medications. I have Anthem BCBS insurance. Can you please confirm if you need to ensure that the clinic uses the In-network pharmacy to get the medications? Nurse mentioned that they’ll use CloudRx and I don’t see CloudRx as part of Anthem network.

I think CloudRx is just a middleman that sends the subscription to your fertility insurance’s pharmacy.
For instance, we have Maven. My clinic also uses CloudRx. Then I got messages from SMP Pharmacy, which is Maven’s pharmacy.

Got it. That’s really good to know. I have still left a note to my fertility clinic to just reconfirm. The process is really overwhelming and is stressful enough among some many other things going in parallel with work.

Agree that CloudRx is just the middleman, and I spent several hours of my life on the phone because of them last week. I'm not at Deloitte, as you can see, but at EY I do have Anthem BCBS treatment for procedures (authorized through Winfertility). The hiccup for me with CloudRx was that I needed to create a CVS Specialty Pharmacy account and input my EY insurance info (both BCBS and Caremark) into that account. This was separate from my CVS account and my CVS Caremark account! Until that point, CloudRx kept saying I needed to get on my "employer list" but gave me no additional info. Hopefully this saves you some time. Best of luck!! I did three retrievals with three separate med protocols, AMA 🙂

I think your clinic will enroll you but if CloudRx calls the pharmacy and they don't see a (specialty meds) account on file, you'll be in the same boat as me.

I believe my in-network pharmacy for Anthem BCBS was CarelonRx

Thank you! I just left them a note and will follow up in the morning tomorrow :)

You should call your insurance about fertility medication, which speciality pharmacy they use. Then you should tell the nurse where to send the prescriptions. You should ask insurance about life time max, how much one round of medication will cost.

I had bcbs anthem also. I used out of network specialty pharmacy because the in network one was very very slow and i didn’t get the medicines on time

When it comes to the digitization of healthcare, how important is it to have tech exp vs. healthcare exp? I understand it’s ideal to have both, but healthcare seems so far behind other industries. Is it better to go into tech for a few years and then go back to healthcare and try to become a change agent?

I’m seeing lots of posts about really bad losses. If you trade you’re going to lose money - hopefully not all the time, but many positions will be mistakes. But you need a process to find ideas and manage positions. Two books you should read are “The New Trading for a Livinng” and “The Laws of Trading.” Both look at psychology, process, and risk in different ways that can help you work out your own process. The next 18 months will be much harder than the last 18 - time to start learning.

Anyone with stage IV endo and recurring Endometriomas gone on Lupron after egg retrieval? I’m still on birth control but my doc said after egg retrieval (assuming we get a strong embryo), I’d get off of birth control and on lupron for two months before transfer. The reason I’m not getting off of birth control now is because it manages my pain.

Starting with our very first IVF cycle this week and kinda nervous 🤞
Nurse says retrieval to happen tentatively around 18th Dec but then transfer can take place in early February too considering genetic testing takes weeks. Is this the norm? Just fearing the team is not unnecessarily delaying things owing to holiday break.
