Has anyone else had this problem??

My old insurance was the same way. Didn't matter much to me as my drug of choice was Copaxone anyway.
I called them and asked about using another drug because at one point I was still considering Rebif. I was told that if the Copaxone didn't work or the doc wrote something giving a reason why another drug was preferable, there wouldn't be a problem.
