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 many options depending on the medication.
Some states. Some medications. Mail order not an option from what I am told (Only a short list of such medications) I've never had that happen,.
For some time I used Wal*Mart as they are all over the land and they will transfer the script store to store for you... Wallgreens uses a single national database so a script at one store is on line at all stores. Note sure of CVS or Rite Aid but suspect one of the above.
I'm now using a Mail order PHarmacy... the State picks the pharmacy as part of my Retiree insurance plan. the one they used to use I paid the full co-pay even if the straight up cost of the med was less (WHY I went to Wal*mart for some meds) The one They have now I pay the lower of the co-pay or actual cost of med.
Paying 20 dollar copay for a 5 dollar med just did not seem right to either me or the State of Michigan.
