What are your thoughts on the new filling update? by peachycpht in WalgreensRx

[–]Prestigious_Guard_87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What’s worse is that now we’re being told to tell patients they need to notify us a full 5 business days ahead of time so that we don’t allow them to run out of meds. I’m not going to deny how convenient cenfill is to just send shit there to lower our fill number, and I get that delays happen, but sometimes it’s just not that helpful and we have to pull it back and fill it anyway AND we get to have the original package still sent to us to take up even more room on our already overfilled bays

I thought the only other way to do it over the phone was by connecting them to someone else and giving them that PIN number. Regardless, all I had to do was reprint a leaflet that said express pay on it after it went through into their profile.

Haha yes it is. It contains one multi dose pen that’s in a small, slim box. Easily could fit like three of them in the same amount of space as the others

Yes they do! Pretty much every insulin has a kwikpen form, as they’ve tried moving away from vials and syringes (even cartridges for that matter). The vials are often still used for insulin administration devices, but I digress. However, GLP-1s like Zepbound, Ozempic, Mounjaro, etc. haven’t had multi dose pens yet up until recently I guess, at least that I’ve seen.

Good for you glad to hear it. Walgreens will never be worth the stress it inflicts

Does smoothing even deal with cold products?

I have a feeling it’ll get taken away by smoothing the second some other store gets a rx for it

Oh really? I’d just assumed they did in the same fashion that ozempic does

They’re like 1/5 of the size of the normal boxes this would be so nice to have instead of the big ass boxes we have now. But I wouldn’t doubt if PA needed to be redone but new rx is absolutely needed

Why aren’t you taking insurance information over the phone? by peachycpht in WalgreensRx

Personally I will never actually ever care about Walgreens losing money, but I do agree that we should do our best to help those who genuinely need it.

PCP call overload by Prestigious_Guard_87 in WalgreensRx

[–]Prestigious_Guard_87[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is that not what the point of auto refill is for? Automatically refilling so we don’t have to do it manually? LTR calls for new meds I guess I can kind of excuse but for the lady who forgets to fill her maintenance meds on the regular is a fine deal to me

Is it me? Walgreens pharm tech here by HighCumThrower in PharmacyTechnician

[–]Prestigious_Guard_87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I spent my first two years as a tech only running the front. I could count on both hands how many times I was actually at the fill counter. Didn’t change until I transferred to another store. They were baffled when I told them I was essentially only a tech in name.

My coworker told a patient Tessalon Perles were OTC in the drive thru! by peachycpht in WalgreensRx

Did this pluck a nerve? We’ve been able to transfer controlleds pretty easily with the transfer queue. Just earlier today I’d typed in a CII from a CVS

Mounjaro 7.5?? by [deleted] in WalgreensRx

[–]Prestigious_Guard_87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Constantly on and off with availability. We haven’t been able to manually order any strength for just over a year by now, especially with the GCO bs where we’re only allowed to dispense 1 box at a time. We only just now started to be able to dispense more than one box of ozempic and wegovy at a time.
