If I drive for U.S. Xpress or Covenant do I have to travel to Tennessee to get medical care?
No, but they may tell you have to come to Chattanooga! If you have the money, you can always pay for a prescription yourself, provided it is written by the authorized treating physician, and then seek reimbursement from the insurance company. Of course, you may not be able to afford to pay for your prescription and then wait on reimbursement. Frequently, the adjuster will authorize a pharmacy to fill your prescriptions, but only if written by your authorized treating physician. And, insurance companies often contract with other vendors to review and monitor the prescriptions being filled. If a request for a new or different prescription is submitted, sometimes there is a delay while the medical records are obtained and the reason for prescribing the medicine is reviewed. All of this can cause delay.
