Mailing medications

[k_jensen6]

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.

DH and I renew our prescriptions in MD when we see the DR. We get the first one filled at the local walmart. We created an online pharmacy account with them. Then, when we need a refill, we go online, log in to our account, and request a refill at whichever Walmart we happen to be close to. We have picked up our meds in Florida and Arizona. Our insurance doesn't seem to have a problem with this, but it is a PPO. You might check if this is a possibility with yours.

The doc will not write a 90 day mail order prescription ?
