My ex-husband and I get along fine and haven't had a problem in the past 6 years. However, my son recently had to get a prescription filled, and the pharmacist asked to see his prescription card. I didn't have it. Usually all the info. is on file at the pharmacy and it hasn't been an issue, until now. I spoke to the ex and his work is supposed to be getting more cards, so I can have one. He claims they've made some changes with the insurance. I still haven't gotten a card (2 weeks later). He told my son to just get the prescription from me and he would have it filled. NO. I NEED the card...what if the kid gets strep throat...I need to be able to get prescriptions for him. I don't know why he is being a dickhead about this. I guess he just wants me to have to pay full price for the prescriptions. I don't know who the prescription company is or I would call them. He works in a very small office, and if I call there, they won't help me at all. I'm wondering if Domestic Relations could help me at all. He is required to provide insurance for my son, and of course I am responsible for paying for a portion of it as well (the amount is automatically taken out of the child support I receive). I am the custodial parents, so I need to have the insurance cards for my son. Any ideas?
I'd call his employer, anyway.
Tell them that your child is covered by his father's insurance and that you need the name and address of the insurance company so that you can get a replacement card. If they give you any flack, ask them for the name and phone number of their legal representative, because you do have a right to this information.

hes in violation of ur divorce decree
and custody arrangement. if u have a lawyer, get him/her to send a letter. if not, file a motion thru the courts.

Well, I would get an
Well, I would get an attorney to send a letter to his attorney, but it would cost me $90. He's just playing games and making me spend as much of my money as he can. He's pissed because my son just got braces put on and the medical split is 68/32, with him paying the 68%. I had to pay the first $250 of it, though. I've said it before, and I'll say it again, "He's more of a bitch than I'll ever be."
Actually, I think I may have my bf call his work and pose as my attorney and ream them out.
What makes me really mad is I'm a good mom, and I don't give my exhusband any problem. I'm very flexible with custody of our son. My son's needs are all met and he's well cared for and I'm the one who takes him to the doctor, dentist and orthodontist. I pay a portion of his medical expenses and the first $250 of uncovered medical expenses. My bf's ex wife pays nothing towards the insurance, doesn't know which doctors the kids even go to, has never taken them to a doctor or dentist, and she would have had that card handed to her immediately if she requested it.
son
can your son talk to the dad?
I think it is ridiculous that parents put their kids well being at risk to get back at the other parent, what a big fat baby.
not like you are taking the money and going to the carribbean?? wait are you? can I go???

Yeah...I'm going to commit insurance prescription fraud and then take my friends on a tropical vacation!! LOL!!!
I did have my son ask him for the card...he's 13 and I thought old enough to do this. His father just says stupid things like, "Well, did you get the prescription back from her?" At which point my son is totally confused. I'm keeping him out of it from this point on.
good idea
i am sure your son is stressed enough knowing what his dad is doing.
and what is wrong with a little insurance prescription fraud b/w friends??
LOL

had a similar problem with
had a similar problem with my ex because he wouldn't give me permission to speak to his provider about my son's account- so whenever I called to try to find out what was covered for him or what dr he could go to, they'd tell me they couldn't talk to me about it at all.
finally, i told him that if he wouldn't give the insurer permission to talk to me, i'd list him as the responsible party every time i took our son to the doctor. i don't know if i'm really allowed to do it, but it worked, and he called them.
the insurance company told me that they have that problem alot
CPS started sending the info out to us this year
Call them. They may have started this in your area and can find that info for you. Might as well put those people to work for you.

Thanks everyone for the
Thanks everyone for the ideas. I called the insurance company and they cannot send me the cards because I am not the subscriber. They're sending me a form, for the ex to sign, and then I can have access to all his medical insurance info. The question is, will he sign it? Turns out I need an updated medical card because they revamped them so the ID #'s don't have the social security # in them any more. That's why the pharmacy was rejecting it. I did get all the new ID #'s and wrote them on the front of my old card.
Did you call CPS
To see if they provide this info where you are?

Had the same problem
I had the same problem years ago with Blue Cross. I spoke with a supervisor and then had to mail them a copy of the court order and then I had not problems with getting info on what was covered. I had to have the child support officer get the cards for me since my BS16 dad would never do it. Right now, I am waiting for new cards cause his employer changed insurance companies. He told me on July 4 that he had a new card and I text him back to mail it to me and I have yet to see it.
