Urgent: Ongoing Issues with Novartis Rx Program – Unacceptable Delays and Lack of Accountability!
I am extremely frustrated with my experience. Novartis has repeatedly failed to meet even the most basic expectations for patient care.
First, I was told Novartis would not allow me to use another shipper even though I offered to cover the cost myself. FedEx, their chosen shipper, refuses to leave packages at my door, unlike USPS and UPS. I work late hours and cannot be home to receive my medication, which makes this inflexible shipping policy completely unworkable.
Second, after arranging for a neighbor who works from home to accept the delivery, Novartis still refused to accommodate the request. For the past three weeks, I have called the Novartis Rx Program repeatedly to schedule a delivery, only to be told each time that Cosentyx Team Connect will contact my dermatologist. When I speak with my dermatologist, they assure me that they’ve sent the necessary paperwork to Novartis multiple times.
To make matters worse, a Novartis representative told me that someone from the Quality team would contact me directly. That never happened. No follow-up. No accountability.
I have now been without my medication for several weeks. This is not just an inconvenience it is a serious disruption to my treatment and health. The lack of coordination, communication, and urgency from Novartis is unacceptable. This situation needs to be resolved immediately
Patients should not be left in limbo or forced to beg for access to necessary medication.
