My medical insurance just started mail order. 90 days' supply for the same co-payment of a normal one month supply if we order through the mail. It's a good deal. Merck-Medco is our new prescription-by-mail company. We can go to a pharmacy [more money] or mail order. And we can have our doctors or pdocs write a prescription for 90 days with 3 refills [in most cases]. It's very cost effective. I'm so grateful to have this insuance. I have asthma also so it's very cost effective. Oh, the thought never having to go to the pharmacy again!!!!!
> Oxycontin!! How come that never happened to me? I would feel like I hit the lottery! I'm sorry you had to go through that, Noa, I feel so fortunate that I have such a great pharmacist. One of the things I did was establish a personal relationship with him because I go through so many different meds. Is that something you can do when you have some extra time? This group sounds really busy- is there a pharmacy close to home that isn't so busy? I know people have had success with the mail in companies, in fact my insurance plan gives a discount if you do it that way. Can you speak to your dr. about getting a 3 month script? They will just dispense it 1 month at a time probably, but at least you know it's coming. You might want to write the chain a letter detailing your experience (especially with the narcotic mix-up). I hope everything works out for you. Take care, Judy
