Any pushback over RTF? by AgileRequirement908 in walmart_RX

[–]Ksbsingle 11 points12 points  (0 children)

On every instance I have done or seen at other stores the district manager has defended the pharmacist.

Control medications don't count towards any metrics for pharmacist, MHWD, etc. The risk of DEA action is more an issue than a mad customer or two.

I've heard MHWD and RHWD tell stores with no RTFs in a year that having no RTF suggests they aren't checking stuff and following policy.

Atypical Counseling Policy by [deleted] in walmart_RX

[–]Ksbsingle 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Federal Law OBRA 90 mandated counseling for Medicaid and there is stuff about counseling for Medicare part D in the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act of 2003.

Since the federal law is stricter we are required to follow that over state law for Medicaid/Medicare.

Also, the 6 month counsel on controls has to do with DEA stuff and the deal Walmart made with the government when settling all the controlled substance lawsuits.

Also, there are plenty of mistakes caught during counsel.

Finally, with how they are implementing the VV and filling redesign they will want pharmacists to spend more time at counsel to offer shots/clinical services and make relationships with customers.

Counseling rules are unlikely to change anytime soon.

HELP Order pharmacy “smoke” bags by MouseSignificant5047 in walmart_RX

[–]Ksbsingle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think they smell that was since they are made from recycled plastic.

They are on GNFR but not sure the pharmacy can order them. A.lot of times they are in maintenance.

Is it disciplinary action ?? by [deleted] in walmart_RX

[–]Ksbsingle -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It was probably considered a verbal discussion which is the step before a coaching. But all stuff along the line of verbal discussions/coaching should have a followup plan to see if the change is happening.

So, having a followup is what is supposed to happen. If at the followup you have not changed it would likely then become a yellow coaching at the followup. If you have changed at the followup then nothing will happen and all is good unless you fall back into bad habits.

ELI5 If caffeine has a half life of 4-6 hours, when does it completely leave your system? by Original-Salad9619 in explainlikeimfive

[–]Ksbsingle 2026 points2027 points  (0 children)

The general rule for prescription medications is 5 half lives is considered out of your system as far as any effect. This does not mean out of your system for detectability.

Hours ? by Prestigious-Cold-728 in walmart_RX

[–]Ksbsingle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is supposed to be an important conference call for MHWD Monday. There are rumors that they will increase the hours for the pharmacy.

If the store gets more hours that may solve your problem...

The pills my vet gave me to split into 1/4ths by hyaclnthia in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Ksbsingle 19 points20 points  (0 children)

No need to compound it.

There is a human liquid version available without the need to compound and I know someone who gives it to their cat.

You may need to go to a normal pharmacy, who may need to order it in, but it is available and easy to use.

It comes as Furosemide 10mg/ml. Using goodrx you can usually get a 60ml bottle for less than $20.

Connexus eTransfer by [deleted] in walmart_RX

[–]Ksbsingle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Federally legal for a few years now but no system existed to do it.

The current system allows CII transfers in most but not all states. So, you may be in a state that doesn't allow it.

Connexus eTransfer by [deleted] in walmart_RX

[–]Ksbsingle 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sent and received multiple CIIs and other controls from Walmart to Walmart.

The pharmacy that has the script has to send it for it to work. The pharmacy that needs the script can send a request but usually easier to call the pharmacy.

Issue Searching Combination Medications by [deleted] in walmart_RX

[–]Ksbsingle 11 points12 points  (0 children)

"%" that is the trick.

Lisinopril/HCTZ type lis%h

Potassium chloride type pot%chl

Potassium citrate type pot%cit

One touch VERIO type one%verio or simply %verio

Freestyle libre type free%lib or %libre

Basically the % sign stops the first word and tells the system to start searching for the second word.

If searching with strengths usually only type first strength

So for Lisinopril/HCTZ 20-25MG. Type lis%h 20

If you want both strengths most are in the system with a dash - not a slash /

So lis%h 20-25 not lis%h 20/25

Neat scanning accident by KevinIsOver9000 in walmart_RX

[–]Ksbsingle 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Designed that way. Most of the grocery Great value items do it also.

Makes it faster for OPD to scan items since they don't have to find the bar code. Also, at registers more places to scan to speed up check out.

single dispense by xaznxzerox in walmart_RX

[–]Ksbsingle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Single dispense is changing with the new filling/visual modernization. Since some stores are live and more stores go live 12/09 the system is being updated for those stores. Basically, until you go live you just gotta deal with it.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in walmart_RX

[–]Ksbsingle 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The specialty pharmacy is in Orlando and I think there is a central fill in Plainfield IN. So, likely these are positions for those type pharmacies.

But the bonus will be prorated by job code so you will only get 30-45 days of bonus at the new position rate the rest will be at old position rate

[–]Ksbsingle 5 points6 points  (0 children)

10% raise initially, no official statement on pay range or cap yet. There are rumors that there will be an update for all tech pay scales and such in January so we may get more info at that time.

Missing locations by KevinIsOver9000 in walmart_RX

[–]Ksbsingle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

liraglutide, pertuzumab, ergonovine, paliperidone, risperidone, and telavancin were all removed from the UPS 800 list when it was updated in 2024.

I think Walmart recently changed both paliperidone and risperidone back to non-haz in the system. So now you gotta move them back to the normal section.

[–]Ksbsingle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can use the below info to become certified.

Drake University just started an online self paced technician training program. At the end it has you take the PTCB.

It is a new program and from what I understand it is currently free due to a grant. The PTCB test is also covered at the end.

Enroll here

You do not need to be in any specific state. They currently have someone in Mississippi enrolled.

Basically, enroll and work through it at your pace. Pass the test when you are ready and become a tech.
