Yup, I've seen this sort of off label prescription at least 3 times.
replyA lot of drugs require almost no evidence (especially if they are relatively cheap or common) to be given to the insurance company when they are prescribed. And if you are willing to pay for it, you can always pay out of pocket if insurance is being a pain.
> I’ve never been asked to sign a waiver
replyThat presumably has to do with the risk profile of the medications you've taken. If there was a high risk of devastating side effects and it was off label presumably the prescriber wouldn't be willing to take on the liability.
Do you know that for a fact or are you just guessing?
replyI would wager if those waivers actually did anything they'd boilerplate a generic version of it in the legal mumbo jumbo you have to sign even if you come in to have the doctor look at a stubbed toe.
