Easy and fast request of RX and speed of delivery--Much more convenient to deal with than my present pharmacy.
I never had problems with Walgreen's. I order during the morning and I pick up few hours later. I could have -I don't want to- the prescriptions delivered to my door. The contact the doctor for any necessary refill.
I am so satisfied with all my past dealings with Amazon I think I will give their RX a go some time this year. I don't particularly care for my present CVS and never visit them in person anyway.
In your previous thread last November, you said you had already signed up for their prescription program. Did you change your mind? http://www.seniorsonly.club/threads/i-switched-to-amazon-pharmacy-today.17129/
All of my meds come from a VA Pharmacy and are mailed to me. I order them on a secure VA website that I sign into. If I use my Medicare for a medical thing, I go to local Walmart for med pickup.
I've got Wellcare as my Medicare prescription provider, and they partner with CVS. Some things have been fine, and others have been a goat rodeo. The problems arose when my doctor put me on a new med I would be taking indefinitely, and the hand-off from the store where I picked up the initial prescription to the mail order supplier fell apart. I am the one who requested setting this up on mail order in order to save everyone money. Then my doctor decided I should double-up the med for a month and entered another 30 day prescription to be filled immediately. CVS cancelled it because they just had filled a script. I had called them beforehand to make sure they understood the situation, and they still screwed it up. That was over a month ago. Yesterday I got a text saying that my doctor was not responding to CVS' request to approve a new prescription. So I went on line and there is a 90 approved refill waiting for the "OK to fill date," and there are (3) 30 day approved refills in the same status (these 30 day refills are from her efforts to get a concurrent prescription filled so I could double-up.) Again, the frustrating thing is I called beforehand to make sure existing scripts would not be cancelled when my doctor entered others, and then CVS did the complete opposite of what they said they were going to do. I ended up taking the overlapping script to Walgreens to get it filled so I could double up. I have no idea why they are now calling my doctor. I don't want to call to ask, because they'll screw something else up.
I have Well Care too and have had some billing problems with them. They are impossible to deal with on the phone, assuming the call is ever answered.
The first person I spoke with assured me that the existing script I had would remain intact. I guess the system overrode them once real orders were entered. The person I spoke with when things fell apart did not speak English very well, and I ended up bailing on the call. I really believe this is why some companies offshore Customer Service...it makes us give up without getting a resolution. So the company pays them low salaries (in US$ terms) AND saves money by not giving us what we pay for. The really stupid thing is that I caused all this because thought mail order was gonna save me the co-pay I paid at the retail counter, and mail order ended up being the exact same amount!!! So in the past when timing issues caused me to not need a refill the moment it became available (and I would wait to get it filled), NOW I grab it when I can. Trust is gone.
I do get several herbal supplements on a subscription basis from Amazon, but since I'm not on any pharma meds, I haven't tried their pharmacy service. Sounds very useful though to have dosage packets set up for you. I'd probably go for that if I took meds.
