We have made it known that we will not fill early even for "I'll pay cash" unless the doctor okays it. It's after hours? No problem, we will page. We recently had a gal whose doc ok'd an early refill for Xanax. A week later the office called after they had run a PDMP report. Seems the pt got 300 Xanax in a month. Hope the pharmacy director does not mind having the morgue call him when they find Goofmarts rx bottle in the wreckage. (This has happened to us!) But at least he got an A+ in customer service.bcmigalnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3684250999334358862.post-81674284311397021682014-10-26T05:42:55.842-07:002014-10-26T05:42:55.842-07:00It's very discouraging when your superiors und...It's very discouraging when your superiors undermine your judgement instead of have your back. Especially in a situation like this. If the patient doesn't like the state law then they should have been advised to go tell their legislators about it. <br /><br />Could this guy have been reported to the state's BOP? I'm not real sure how that works, if it's like the medical boards or not. Of course if they did report him that would have probably been the end of their careers with that company.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3684250999334358862.post-64680638081278643222014-10-25T16:15:20.957-07:002014-10-25T16:15:20.957-07:00Wouldn't it have been simpler to just get the ...Wouldn't it have been simpler to just get the prescriber involved and let them make the decision whether or not an early fill of the medication was warranted for this patient? After all, isn't this the appropriate health care professional to make this judgement call in a scenario like this? Then, if the prescriber said "no" to the early fill, there would be nothing the pharmacy director could do about it. And if the insurer denies the claim on the early fill, then the patient has to pay full price for it. I see no problem with this if the prescriber is aware of the patient's usage of the product. Unless the pharmacists have witnessed the patient selling the medication in their parking lot, then I find it hard to believe the prescriber would be OK with this.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3684250999334358862.post-2904977474039922822014-10-25T10:04:35.786-07:002014-10-25T10:04:35.786-07:00Please tell me the director got his ass handed to ...Please tell me the director got his ass handed to him for violating state law!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3684250999334358862.post-53787845942782403802014-10-25T05:06:11.305-07:002014-10-25T05:06:11.305-07:00And yet my insurance makes it difficult for me to ...And yet my insurance makes it difficult for me to get my Synthroid a week early so I can go on vacation.
