dropped off the script on tues 9-22 2015 at CVS north juson IN they were very behind and busy said pick up for wed 9-23 2015
thurs am Nicole helsel pharmacist called from cvs north judon 9-24-2015 said they will NOT fill the prescription because its an illinois licensed dr and this is indiana
i asked for documentation on that they don’t have any
gave me a number to a cvs district manager andrea who also cant provide me with any proof of law or documentation of this rule/law
we have been filling the same prescription at the same cvs for many months if not yr or yr and a half i have to go to cvs to get a record of filled scripts
husband was in bed for 14 months i had to care for most of his needs cleaning feeding helping him get to the washroom table to eat what little he did for fear he had to get up to go use the facilities again
finally found a good dr in illinois after bad experience with an indiana dr
prescription was filled at a different cvs location in indiana
This is strange, for nearly a DECADE, we traveled the country in a motor home and we often had to have prescriptions filled in different states from a Indiana licensed physician… as far away as CALIFORNIA without any problems. Just this past June had a Rx filled in FLORIDA from a INDIANA licensed physician.
This is my THIRD EMAIL in less than a week from Northern Indiana involving CVS or Meijer’s pharmacies/Pharmacists denying to fill Rxs at stores where the pt had been filling the same Rx for a year or more.
TWO DAYS – in the middle of the week – to decide if they were going to fill a Rx or not ???
