10 We find complainant’s request for $26,400.00 for future medication
unsupported by the record. While his psychiatrist stated that complainant
would need medication to maintain his mental health, we find that after
reviewing the pharmacy bills associated with his psychiatric treatments,
$1,000.00 is a reasonable amount for two years of medication.
Note: Went to my pharmacy the other day to pick up a prescription for erectile dysfunction drug Viagra. It was a 30 day supply of 30 pills. They said my claims adjuster would not authorize it, and I would need to call her.
I then asked the pharmacist, how much is erectile dysfunction drug viagra (generic) and she said $700.00
If my psychiatrist and my primary medical doctor said I need the ED drug as a direct result of the discriminations and harm caused by them, then how can an AJ decide that $1,000 is the FULL amount awarded for future damages?
Must be that the complainant did not clarify properly.
