Can Cyclosporine And Atorvastatin Be Replaced With Non Interacting Drug Equivalents?

I am a kidney transplant patient and take cyclosporine. I also have had 2 heart attacks. One within the last month. My blood is monitored every 3 months and all are results are within limits. I also take atorvastatin and now all of a sudden my insurance provider s doctor has notified my doctor s that the insurance company will no longer allow me to take both because of interactions between the two. I have taken them for over 6 years. Are there any medications that offer the same results without the interactions?
