It is rumored that Costco has already implemented or will soon implement .. a program similar to WAGS’ “good faith filling policy” for some or all controls…
Since most of the controls are for “subjective diseases”… (Pain/ADD/Depression/Anxiety/Mental Health Issue).. all of which are covered under ADA ( Americans with Disability Act)… where does prudence stop and discrimination on a “class of pts” start?
How long before some sort of class action shows up in our court system?
Are these corporate policies .. place the RPH.. is some sort of violation of the practice act?
The ADA act was passed in 1990 .. and the act was intentionally passed with VERY VAGUE language…. so that the real scope of the act could be determined by the courts.
If you have never heard of awards granted after ADA violations have been taken to court… you should look up what the violations were and how stiff the monetary penalties imposed on the violator for some very minor violations.
Remember… there is a every growing and very large SURPLUS of attorneys.. they are HUNGRY…. and this new “good faith filling policy” .. could be nothing more than fresh meat to them…
