Re: rx approval
Send your adjuster at the Carrier a copy of your pharmacy bill or whatever print-out the registered pharmacist shall have provided. Use certified mail. Count 30 days, then take all the documents to your local Workers' Comp Claimants' Counsel. She will file Review Medical and Penalty Petitions under Sections 306.f.1, 435 and 440.
Good Luck.
