I just did a little investigative work. I called Kaiser Perm. to find out what the deal was. After talking to a few different people, I ended up on the phone with the pharmacy assistant. She told me KP (Kaiser Perm) won't be covering any ED medications (except yohembeen? an eastern medication. I think it is a root or an herb) because of costs, unless they performed an operation that caused the ED, then they might. Also, said when MUSE first came out it did well, but since Viagra, more people seem to switch. She did not work outside in the pharmacy are doing dispensing, she only takes phone calls. So, she didn't really know how much MUSE they dispensed. She did say when she was out there, people did pay for MUSE out of their own pockets. Oh, well, it would have been nice if we got on the list, but we didn't. investigation completed, Private Dick (it is so fitting, isn't it?)
