Mailing medications

DH was just diagnosed with DVT. Now needs meds for 6 months to a year.

Our situation is this. Our insurance is based in Washington state. Prescriptions have to be filled there in order to be covered. They do not provide a prescription mailing service. Our son can pick up his medication, but how can he get it to us? He is also our mailing service.

We had him send us a different medication over a month ago, it has disappeared. So no pain meds for DH back.

Did a bit of research and found that it is illegal to put meds in the mail, so obviously that shipment was probably confiscated.

Has anybody else run into this? How have you handled it?

We are in Alabama, headed to Florida tomorrow.. We do not drive our motorhome I snow, icy weather so we are stuck in the south until the spring.

Any and all thoughts/ suggestions are appreciated.

A $700 a month prescription just is not in the budget.

we are currently waiting for a package that was mailed from home (forwarded by our po). It should have been here by now. He's waiting at the infamous Quartzsite Arizona post office right now. Sure hope it hasn't been lost, it's diabetes medication :(

Our plan will fill anywhere, the pharmacist has to have it transferred to the one where we are staying. On THAT subject, I took one in 5 days ago, and they LOST IT :M

I hope you find a solution!


Update. STILL not at the Post office. Should have put a tracking number on the danged thing :M
