Well, to be filed under today's fun for no one, my medical provider had to intervene because the fine folks at #CVSCareMark mail order somehow had it in their systems that I was allergic to the very medication I take for my heart issue and didn't want to fill the prescription. Here's hoping this has now been rectified and we don’t' have to go through this nonsense at the time of every refill.
Samsung Bioepis has signed private label supply agreements with US PBM giants Express Scripts and CVS Caremark for its Stelara biosimilar, marking the first dual deal of its kind and expanding access to the US autoimmune drug market.

Well my saga with #CVSCaremark continues. When I first signed up to get prescriptions with them I selected #ScripTalk and #Braille thinking that it'd consist of the ScripTalk sticker on the bottom of a normal size medicine bottle and just the name of the medication in #Braille on that same bottle as other pharmacies had done in the past. That's not how they do things here. Rather, you get everything printed on the bottle in #Braille necessitating that your medicine comes in a vitamin size bottle. I contacted and then asked if I could continue to receive the drug identification sheets in #Braille and just have #ScripTalk on the bottles themselves. No problem they said. However, that seems impossible for them to achieve. I'm starting to believe the only way to get normal medicine bottles is to forego #Braille entirely and just get #ScripTalk only. I'll call them tomorrow during regular business hours in hopes of getting a supervisor.

Does every CVS look like it's perpetually going out of business? Few cars in the lot, no one inside, listless employees . . .

Well, I, did, it. I, did, it! I switched my prescriptions or am in the process of switching my prescriptions away from #Accessible Pharmacy. I know, I know they're blind founded and owned and I really wanted to support but the absence of a web portal and app and the lack of good customer service and not always getting #Braille labels necessitated the change. #CVSCareMark here I come.

@secretlybatman @analgesicsleep Yep, there is a small woman-owned pharmacy 2 blocks from me which is considered in-network by CVS, so I know the pharmacist-owner and she is great.

However, she is still beholden to the billing/coding screwups of the CVS computer system, which is why my 10-day emergency supply of a different dosage Rx Is now 3 days late: ENDLESS PHONE CALLS WITH #CvsCaremark (more accurately known as CVS-Could-Not-Care-LESS)

We have entered the “switch all your prescriptions to OUR mail-order or you will have to pay cash” highway robbery. What about prescriptions Our Government says cannot be mailed? Just pick them up at OUR store.

I’m looking at you, #CVSCaremark
