WOW--several different experiences. My husband's ins. requires I do mail order if a med has been prescribed for a couple mos. so I didn't know that & thought I was still "on trial" for my new high blood pressure med & got it at CVS again & found it was like 80 bucks when it had been free before. The guy at the pharmacy told me to call my medication mail order people. Meanwhile, I took the meds w/me (paid for them) & called & found out it would be free if I did it through the mail order so went back w/the unopened package & the manager at CVS was so kind to tell me he would give me the credit for the amount I paid but that even though I hadn't opened the bag he would have to throw them out & take a loss due to the fear of tampering. So he helped me on that.
But another time I was prescribed Klnopopin 2 at night & I drove away & at home looked at it & had only been given enough for one at night so I drove back & told the guy. They did give me the right amount but I notice now any meds I fill there they have showed that they are counted TWICE. Well-good thing, I guess...
My mail order meds is HORRIBLE. They sent my high blood pressure medication to me w/the wrong dosage! What if I were elderly (getting there) but had not looked carefully at the bottle? Then in one of my pill containers was a pill that did not belong! Totally unrecognizeable to me! Don't know what it was but luckily look at each pill to make sure it is what I should be taking.
So when I called them about the wrong dosage of high blood pressure medication. They were very unconcerned--sent me the correct dosage & CHARGED ME THE 15 BUCKS OR SO FOR EXPIDITED DELIVERY--I don't think so!!
I didn't even tell them about the random pill that was put in my bottle of pills that I couldn't recognize. They do not seem to care. I think the ins. co. must have picked them as they were the lowest bidder & I can see why.
I have a 2 thousand dollar deductible on my meds which I basically fill up by the middle of Feb. due to my meds being very expensive so I guess I need to keep my mouth shut as I hear of other ins. co. not wanting to give yu what the doc prescribes but a lower cost drug as a substitute. Mine doesn't do that.
But it seems to be a full time job just getting the reordering in at the right time & then I have to be home to sign as some are "controlled substances."
My reorder calender is so complicated as some meds or different dosages were presribed at different times so I can't reorder all at once. My calender every 2 weeks or so says it is time to reorder such & such or get a script for such & such & since we do travel a lot I have to try to predict when they will deliver so I can sign.
