Prescriptions while on the road?
How do you guys handle getting prescriptions on the road? Find a local doctor or try and do it all through the mail?

There are several answers.. I use a mail order pharmacy (The one recommended by my Insurance) for the cost savings.. Since they can usually get me my meds in just a few days I will order either just before or just after checking into a membership park for 2 weeks.. Occasional issues (like ship to my BILLING address 800 miles away) happen but hey... I try to place the order in time (That one I did not).
Walgreens. CVS and Rite-Aid are nation wide so is Wal*mart Pharmacy A couple of Insurance Pharmacies ago they charged me the full co-pay even if full price was less (Can you say RIP OFF) so I'd get the lower priced stuff at Wal*Mart.. But I do not like supporting the welfare kings (The Walton family) by shopping at their store. The current mail order charges me the lesser of co-pay or regular price. next page:
Some drugs/prescriptions can only be filled locally.. (I do not have any of those so i can't tell you what they are) but for those you will need to talk to a pharmacist and hopefully one that belongs to a nationwide chain.
