During my unemployment, my Eliquis arrived within the day I needed it to, Wed 240619 (yymmdd), despite two denial letters from the manufacturer on Saturday 240615, which I didn't even open until Monday 240617.
I prayed. I asked what to do next?
What came to mind was, "Appeal."
I called RxAdvocates. The next morning Tues 240618, RxAdvocates called me back, referred me to Bristol-Myers.
In both calls, RxAdvocates said my condition of unemployment should be valid to receive their assistance.
I called Bristol-Myers the same morning Tues 240618 to appeal & review my case.
That afternoon Theracom CS called me back on appeal from Bristol-Myers, to notify me they were going to ship more Eliquis to me by Thursday the 20th.
I explained to Theracom by this time ~530pm on Tues the 18th I was down to my last pill. I asked to speak with a pharmacist, to advise on: A) Do I take the last pill on schedule tonight? or, B) Do I spread out the dosage and take it tomorrow while waiting for Thursday's shipment? Theracom CS warm-transferred me to a Theracom pharmacist, who authorized a rush shipment to arrive to me Wed the 19th, and she explained to me, as long as I had not missed two in a row, I could miss one as in Wed morning and still be okay. One problem with Eliquis is it's prescribed for a duration of time. If halted early, risk of additional blood clots increases.
Wednesday 240619 ~ 1715pm UPS faithfully delivered the full shipment of Eliquis to my door.
Praise God!!, for clearing away problems and causing this rush shipment to be successful, when it was misinterpreted and denied at first. In addition, had I not pursued in His strength, I might not have even discovered RxAdvocates in the first place, nor gotten help through the physician who originally prescribed for me a free month worth of samples to meet my need for this expensive drug, $247/week for 28 pills, which was my self-pay cost for the first 7 DAYS of Eliquis pills at this early time of production.

Do you not believe God maneuvered and accomplished all this?
I asked in prayer; I had no other recourse in my own strength nor my own limited resources.
His response in light of the circumstances (as well as His Spirit moving in me) was a Yes.

If you were a wealthy influential person who loved me, and I had asked you for the same rush treatment, to preserve my health, would not you have done all in your power, in your love, to accomplish such as this?

How much more so, God? God does love us! He knows what is good and best for us. What's more, God can intervene in hearts, in ways we cannot even imagine, although deep Scripture shares some insights. Look also at the insights Jesus shares!
