comment on step therapy is the most under-discussed thing on this board in c/insurancefights · 110 points · 1 year ago
the denial letter names the criterion, start there
comment on [Discussion] the dead space advice in here is 2 years out of date in c/reconstitution · 0 points · 1 year ago
bacteriostatic water has the preservative, sterile water does not
comment on someone explain dead space to me like I have not read a paper in years in c/reconstitution · 0 points · 2 years ago
What is written on the vial right now?
comment on DHL — 21 things I got wrong before I got it right in c/intlshipping · 169 points · 2 years ago
Disagree. That is a customs hold, not a carrier delay, and lumping them together makes the lane table wrong.
comment on someone explain prior authorization to me like I have not read a paper in years in c/insurancefights · 1 points · 2 years ago
Small fix — external review is independent of the plan. The second-level internal appeal is not.
comment on am I the only one who found glucagon harder than the injections in c/retatrutide · 157 points · 2 years ago
Sceptical of the extrapolation. Forty-eight weeks does not tell you about seventy-two, and the curve shape is exactly what is unknown.
comment on [Results] 26 weeks, 5kg, and dose escalation was the hard part in c/retatrutide · 523 points · 2 years ago
The phase 2 readout ran to 48 weeks in a few hundred participants with a slow escalation. Both the size and the duration matter when people quote the headline number.
comment on [Discussion] the mg/mL advice in here is 3 years out of date in c/reconstitution · 5 points · 2 years ago
How many mg in the vial and how many mL are you adding?
comment on retatrutide: what the trials say vs what this community says in c/retatrutide · 32 points · 2 years ago
Went up slowly, deliberately, because everything on this board says the escalation is where trouble lives. Uneventful so far and I am not going to pretend that is a finding.
comment on retatrutide: what the trials say vs what this community says in c/retatrutide · 5 points · 2 years ago
Stopped at a low step because there was no reason to go further and no data to tell me what further would do.
comment on [Question] step therapy — what am I missing here in c/insurancefights · 33 points · 2 years ago
Right, and keeping every date and reference number turns a frustrating process into an auditable one.
comment on does formulary actually matter or is it forum lore at this point in c/insurancefights · 3 points · 2 years ago
Yes.
Disagreeing with this line: the deadline runs from the letter date and treating it otherwise is expensive.
comment on unpopular opinion: most of what gets said here about concentration is guesswork in c/reconstitution · 24 points · 2 years ago
Adding more water does not change how much peptide is in the vial. It changes the concentration, which changes the volume you draw for the same amount. That is the entire relationship.
comment on bacteriostatic water — 16 things I got wrong before I got it right in c/reconstitution · 0 points · 2 years ago
Agreed on the swirl. There is no reason to shake it and a good reason not to.
comment on [Results] 45 weeks on 10mg, full numbers, ask me anything boring in c/retatrutide · 7 points · 2 years ago
The thing that surprised me was how much of the discussion here is inference rather than measurement.
