Therapy Access: How to Get the Right Medical Treatments When You Need Them

When your health depends on a treatment—like oxygen therapy, a life-sustaining medical intervention for chronic lung conditions—getting it shouldn’t feel like a battle. But in India, therapy access, the ability to obtain necessary medical treatments without unnecessary delays or financial barriers is often uneven. Many people wait weeks for home oxygen devices, face denials for weight loss drugs like Ozempic, or struggle to afford IVF cycles because insurance won’t cover it. It’s not about not needing help—it’s about the system not making it easy to get.

Therapy access isn’t just about availability. It’s tied to insurance coverage, whether your plan pays for critical treatments like IVF, Wegovy, or diabetes medications, and whether pharmacies like Express Scripts approve your prescription. It’s affected by healthcare costs, the out-of-pocket price tags that make even essential treatments unaffordable, and whether your doctor knows how to navigate prior authorizations. You can have the best diagnosis in the world, but if you can’t get the treatment, it doesn’t matter. That’s why so many posts here focus on real-world roadblocks: why some people can’t get knee replacements, why metformin side effects make people look for alternatives, or why Amazon Pharmacy is becoming a go-to for those tired of pharmacy delays.

What you’ll find in this collection isn’t theory. It’s what people in India are actually dealing with. From the hidden costs of IVF to the steps to get Express Scripts to approve Wegovy, these posts cut through the noise. They show you how to spot legit online pharmacies, understand who qualifies for treatments, and what to do when your doctor says "no." This isn’t about wishful thinking—it’s about actionable steps, real examples, and knowing your rights when it comes to your health. If you’ve ever been told you’re not a good candidate for something you need, these pages are for you.
