My insurance plan administrator told me that she was surprised they had kept refilling my scripts without seeing me. Apparently there's a law that they must see a patient annually in order to keep prescribing meds? LOL I've been getting them for three years now! WTF!

Whew. Deep breaths. Gee, didn't the neuro tell me that stress was bad for MS?
Write the letter anyway. Add a paragraph explaining the past three years of getting the meds. Let them KNOW that you have been getting the meds and it would be appreciated if they could see you for a "visit" with a follow up as a "new patient" in order to get the rx filled NOW. Make it easy for everyone as you have MS, not them. You are the sick one...not them.
