  • Finally got a good one!

    That's kind of scary, now that I think of it! I've finally got an SC worthy of making a post about and it took a month!

    A little back story here. This was on Tuesday, I had lost my voice completely and had just discovered that I have a throat infection.

    So, you know how you can just tell when someone's going to be a problem? Well, this lovely "lady" was one of 'em.

    Comes up to get her husband's prescription. (Poor man, I think I understand why he's on what he's on, after meeting her!) She's not friendly to begin with, but, meh. Got to the part where I have her verify that the prescription is right and she wants to know why it's for only 15 and not 30. Go and take a look in the computer and that's all her insurance will pay for in a 30-day period. Well, she get all bent out shape about it and wants all 30. But, get this, she thinks that she's just gonna pay 2 ($7) co-pays. Sorry, don't work that way. Yes, we can fill it for all 30, but we'll have to switch it to cash, which is close to $50, and will take about 15 min since we have to redrop the script.

    She also goes off on a tirade that she's gonna go back to Walgreen's. Fine and dandy, but you're going to hear the same thing there lady. It's your insurance, not us!

    So, fast-forward 15 minutes. The "charming" woman comes back, I check her out, and say like I do to everyone, "Have a good day." She mutters to me, "You too, bitch." Well, I guess I had a look on my face when I turned around. S, my wonderful pharmacy manager asked me what she said. I told her, and she said, "I would call her at home and tell what-for if I wouldn't get in trouble."

    I can't believe that it's taken a month for someone to annoy me this much!

    Welcome to the world of SC's. Only $7 for a month's worth of scrip. That's pretty good. I've seen some health plans for which "Why bother?" is a valid query.
    I'm trying to see things from your point of view, but I can't get my head that far up my keister!

      Oh, I'm not new to the world of SCs, I've been in retail for about 12 years. This is just a new flavour for me!

      Had a nice 9 month break when I went back to school, though!

            I dream of only having to pay $7 for meds. I stopped bitching about the cost of one of mine ($42) when my doc told me how much the non generic is ($250).
            I'm confused though, what kind of med do you not have to take everyday? Is it a have on hand in case you need it kind of thing?

              Damn, my copay is $25 and I can only get 30 at a pop, even though the scrip is for 90. The only way I can get the full 90 is if I go through mail order, which would save me $25 on the 3 months supply, but I've never bothered to do it.

                Do not want! We have enough of our own.

                To be honest, whenever someone starts complaining about their copays or why their prescription is fewer in quantity than was prescribed, I just tell them to take it up with their insurance company. In that regard, I apologize to all the insurance company call center representatives for any and all suck I may inadvertently send your way.
