mmm...it may not be a standard type thing at the pharmacy level as I work in a billing office and most of what I see if for people with atypical insurance situations or numerous long term illnesses and I honestly don't deal too much with psych meds but I know that for alot of other things, at least if a pharmacy has to bill manually, a diag is required alot of times for payment...depends on your insurance and whether your meds are covered through a drug plan or through a medical benefit...I could never do pharmacy school either...you must have infinite patience Cam to deal with both with actual prescibing and filling, dealign with interactions, dealing with the insurance aspects and dealing with the patients...*applause* it's definitely a tough line of work requiring intelligence, compassion and patience.
