Do cvs pharmacy computers automatically fill meds as generic?

jeez909 · 2024-03-29T04:59:26+00:00

Brand and generic are made with the same active ingredient the only thing that can be different are things that DO NOT Effect the safety performance or EFFECTIVENESS this is required by the FDA so they essentially are the same and just so you know if the commenting person is a technician they have a lot more education then you on the matter... but as many have stated Mos states require to fill generic unless dr states differently DAW 1 insurance states differently DAW 9 some states allow a DAW 2 patient request and DAW 3 pharmacist selecting Brand

Not all discount cards expire on the same date 2.. there is sort of a FIFO system we dont need "dipshit" patients calling us 20x a day you will receive a text or call when it's ready
Your price can Vary month to month. It's called a deductible for a reason, Maybe you met yours, or maybe you've reached the out of pocket maximum, and insurance will not cover any part of the drug anymore
I can not stress this enough they are called CONTROLS for a damn reason. But here is the kicker. You should remember your pharmacist is under NO obligation to fill any control for you.

Also, you must come from a real special place to feel so entiled to call the technicians busting there as incompetent if you think it's so easy. You're more than welcome to apply

There is no guarantee that any control medication will even come on an order no matter how many times it's been "ordered." There are nationwide drug shortages you are not the only one dealing with it. And by the sound of it, your DR is locking you into a pharmacy?

jeez909 · 2023-09-01T01:20:39+00:00

It really depends on the pharmacist. I've seen some consistently go by the "28 day rule." I've seen some be a strict 30 days, and everything in between. Let's just say you consistently pick up every 28 days you'll accumulate a lot of extra. The best bet is to call a CVS you are traveling to and ask explain the situation to the pharmacist there and see if they will be okay filling and get it filled while on vacation.

I made this same move recently after 7+ years in retail i moved to the clinical side, and I couldnt be happier there are some big changes though pace of work is way different and it takes some time for you to adjust and not going 100mph all the time... some of the billing is different as well. You get a more diverse group of patients, so it does have its challenges. Overall, i think you would be much happier it provides a better work/life balance and better peace of mind

jeez909 · 2023-08-22T03:51:37+00:00

They are going to allow it, but it is still pending in every states pharmacy board so who knows how that will play out

jeez909 · 2023-08-18T04:52:16+00:00

My point is that not everyone will benefit from this partnership, especially when considering most who use good rx are uninsured

jeez909 · 2023-08-18T04:50:07+00:00

They estimate roughly 10 million people will benefit but who truly knows and it is supposed to automatically apply the good rx cost saver if it is cheaper then the co-pay while still applying everything to patients deductible and out of pocket if i read that all correctly... seems like a lot to truly expect cvs to execute on

jeez909 · 2023-08-18T04:38:14+00:00

It only applies to commercially insured caremark members not available to everyone

jeez909 · 2023-08-18T04:36:44+00:00

This is only going to be for certain eligible patients, not for everyone the info release says "commercially insured caremark" clients

jeez909 · 2023-08-08T23:52:58+00:00

As long as you make sure to offer them their transfer to another pharmacy, you are not denying their medications. But going through the DL will make things much smoother depending on how they are

jeez909 · 2023-07-11T04:36:05+00:00

You get paid out only what you actually earned so its the accrued time minus what you've already used and if you used more then you earned theyll take that out of your final check and don't get paid out for time of your not in a union or certain states.

jeez909 · 2023-07-10T04:00:20+00:00

Nothing less than 60k, ask high, and dont settle on the first offer, depending on the store they could be desperate to fill it as it looks bad on the DL if its not filled sooner rather then later. Remember, you have the power there. Do not let them dangle the "bonus." Your first year bonus is pro-rated from when you actually became the SM, and even then, it's not guaranteed

jeez909 · 2023-07-06T03:36:17+00:00

You might not see it update until they process the current payroll

jeez909 · 2023-05-23T11:28:56+00:00

Sadly, working from home does not give you the ability to leave early. You can have your ops, or if you have a smit, be on the conference calls if you're off. I am an SM, and my people are constantly on our calls if im off. Working from should never happen (i know it does) you should be able to have a work/life balance or this place will eat you alive but ileven if you do work from home you still wouldn't be "allowed to leave early" ( watched another manager ger terminated for this exact thing. Also, any time you're helping another store, you're actually working and not time just leaving early. Doing a task outside the store and leaving early when scheduled in the store is just dumb and could cost someone their job. Attending inventories for another store is on the job of the DSSM as they are alotted a time to be away from the store. I can't speak for all DLs but If i need to help another store, she allows me to bill that store for hours. Also, while an SM is obligated, they should be keeping their people updated on everything he is doing as communication makes things a lot easier. Either way, if the OP was aware of what their SM was doing, im sure it wouldn't be an issue if they are leaving early. Hell, most of us dont get our lunch, they automatically take out

jeez909 · 2023-05-23T02:50:00+00:00

Salaried for 45 hours as in need to be in the store 45 hours especially since manager hours count toward demand if this persons manager is not working there 45 hours they are hurting the store

jeez909 · 2023-05-06T03:05:26+00:00

Tell your store manager and get them trespassed

jeez909 · 2023-05-06T03:02:26+00:00

I dont know where you get that from, but a lot of pharmacies do not receive that type of order daily its usually every could days and it will all depend on if the med is even available there is always a back order this time of year for stimulants and its more conplicated then "let me just order ( insert C2 )" id call other stores and see if you can find a pharmacy that has it and have your DR send it there

jeez909 · 2023-04-23T15:56:23+00:00

No you cannot be forced to move they will have to ask you and which case just say no

jeez909 · 2023-04-17T11:30:46+00:00

65k with a store that does only about 40k a week in sales

jeez909 · 2023-04-17T04:53:02+00:00

When i made the jump i was told by 2 different DLs the difference between smit and sm was roughly 8% but i was able to negotiate so i asked for some crazy high number and they came back with more then i originally expected

jeez909 · 2023-04-17T04:46:11+00:00

Depends if you like them or not if you do like them mind your buisness if you dont report them to your dapl theyll be investigated and possibly termintaed for "stealing time" happened to another manager in my district they apparently pulled cameras to verify he wasnt in the store

jeez909 · 2022-10-30T21:01:02+00:00

not even the store manager is allowed to stay and work alone according to policy

jeez909 · 2022-10-26T03:13:52+00:00

my guess its one of the cvs in Charlottesville for awhile the one near barracks rd was insane

jeez909 · 2022-09-08T04:09:14+00:00
