I have called multiple times and spoke to multiple people my extremely important medications were apparently lost in the mail and I PAID for them for two blood pressure medications and one cholesterol med. I've been in EXCRUCIATING PAIN FOR 5 DAYS NOW AND HAVE TO RE-PURCHASE the same meds again. I had to call off work one shift and i'm suffering so much right now. They won't send serious meds rushed to replace. Bottom line I paid for goods that never arrived.Business Response

The ** school systems use Benecard as an easy way to deny coverage. Right now Benecard is denying a renewal for coverage for Wegovy, as I report my weight and health stats to my doctor, online, not in her office. This is a ploy and well known tactic Benecard uses to avoid paying out medication. I now have to look for non-official Wegovy because Benecard is wrongfully denying my claim, after my doctor has attested she meets with me every month virtually, records my weight, and doesn't even write refills. ******* ****** systems and my wife pays Benecard monthly while they are known for falsely denying claims, including my CR *******Business Response

Hello *******,
Benecard takes member complaints very seriously. Upon receiving the above-referenced complaint, we initiated an immediate investigation into this matter.
Benecard provides prescription drug administrative services for self-funded plan sponsors who control their respective plan designs. Benecard administers those plans in accordance with their specifications. Benecards administrative services for all plan sponsors include clinical reviews, which are an integral component to providing patient safety protections. Our clinical programs, including clinical reviews, are reviewed and approved on a quarterly basis by Benecards Pharmacy and ********************** consisting of medical doctors from a variety of specialties. The drug in question, Wegovy 2.4mg/0.75ml, a weight loss medication, requires a clinical review in accordance with the pharmaceutical manufacturers drug label.
Per Benecards clinical review process and in conjunction with the manufacturers drug label guidelines for this medication, the members prescriber must record their weight measurements at an in-person office visit and submit with documentation for the clinical review. If the information is not received, the request will be denied for missing information. On February 8, 2024, ****************** contacted us regarding the upcoming renewal of his clinical review which was set to expire on March 11, 2024. At that time, he was told that we needed additional information from his prescriber. The information needed to continue to approve this clinical review was an in-office weight measurement, as the information we had received was from a virtual appointment. ****************** was not out of medication at this time, and as a courtesy to allow him time to schedule the in-office visit, a one-time approval through March 21, 2024, was provided. ****************** had previously been approved for his medication because the requested weight measurements were shared with us via his prescribers office records.
On February 26, 2024, ****************** had an in-person office visit, and his prescriber submitted the chart notes to us. The clinical review was completed, and approval was extended for another 16 weeks. On February 27, 2024, ****************** was notified of the 16-week approval, the clinical review process, and requirements, and he confirmed he understood.
If there are additional questions or concerns, please contact me at **************.
Sincerely,

Dear *** *******:
BeneCard PBF takes member complaints very seriously. Upon receiving the above-referenced complaint, we initiated an immediate investigation into this matter.
After reviewing the member’s profile, it was determined that the daughter is covered under her father’s (***
******’s) prescription plan through his employer. *** ******’s ex-wife makes all the payments for their daughters’ medications. The primary account holder (*** ******) is ultimately responsible for all charges associated with any transactions related to his daughter or any other dependents listed under his cardholder
status. The mother’s credit/debit card information is the only card saved on the daughter’s profile for payment and in our mail order system, Benecard Central Fill. If for any reason the mother does not pay, *** ****** is ultimately responsible for all charges.
Benecard Central Fill’s policy for all mail order prescription orders that are processed where the out-of-pocket cost is below $100, is to allow for those orders to be mailed without payment being required. If the out-ofpocket cost is $100 or more, we contact the member for payment and then ship the order. *** ****** is asking that Benecard Central Fill go outside of our current process and collect payment from his ex-wife for
his daughter’s medications, which are under the out-of-pocket limit of $100, prior to shipping. Benecard Central Fill added an alert to the daughter’s account that advises payment is needed before shipment, but this is not a guarantee. If payment is not collected, the mother may call in and make a payment at any time.
The dependent’s mother was called on 9/28/2023 to ensure her credit card information was used for payment on the most recent medication refills at our pharmacy, Benecard Central Fill.If there are additional questions or concerns, please contact me at ###-###-####.

Dear *** ******* *******,
BeneCard PBF takes member complaints very seriously. We initiated an immediate investigation into this matter.
After reviewing the members profile, it was found a prescription from the prescriber was received with the dose increase. However, a prescription with the original dosing was already in process and so the new prescription was placed on hold.
After the investigation was completed, the member was called to ensure they had enough medication. We explained to him that we received a prescription at the end of December 2022 which was set to process on 1/10/2023. However, on 1/6/2023, we received another prescription with directions indicating to use a higher dose. Because the first fill was already set to process and ship, the newer prescription did not process and was put on hold. We explained that the prescription with the updated dosing will be processed for future fills and the older prescription was discontinued. The member will also be sent the difference between the original dosing and newer dosing and will not be charged an additional copay.
The member was happy with the resolution and appreciated the outreach.
If there are additional questions or concerns, please contact me at 1*************.Sincerely,
