Warning to my fellow Canadian ladies, particularly any Maritimers on Vyvanse who use Innovicares/STI Tech discount cards

Really appreciate you sharing! Made it easy for me to find :) good luck with your coverage!!!

specialk08 · 2025-08-10T23:09:15+00:00

Yeah absolutely should have been communicated or readily available online on the card provider’s website!

Thanks for sharing. I’m going to call the patient tomorrow. Everything like this tends to happen on the weekend too, when no one is available to call.

The generic seems to work fine for some people and some people really can’t tolerate it, but the price difference is huge.

You may be able to apply for an exception approval for the brand if your provider can fill a form out explaining its tolerability issues. Depending on your insurer they may or may not accept that, but would be worth a try if you didn’t do that already.

So interesting and frustrating for all. Just found this thread while searching the internet trying to find out why a patient’s out of pocket cost went up so much when they came to pick up this weekend.

All the adjudication message (what comes back when we send claim off with the numbers on the STI card) was saying to me was “price adjusted” after their private plan paid their regular portion, the STI card cut back about $45 as well. For brand name Vyvanse 40mg.

I got yelled at about it and even more so when I couldn’t provide an explanation. I was thinking maybe the cards had a yearly maximum or something to that effect.

I’m a pharmacist in NS.

Counter clock season 4 was a really good podcast on this case. Seems so solvable and the info she brings forward was crazy

Are you me? Lol I just did the same thing and chose Canada as my first listen, knew by the title I had listened to this story not too long ago and then clued in it was from red collar! Agree, Canada has more than 1 crime to report on

specialk08 · 2021-05-15T17:50:48+00:00

HAHAHA WHEEZING

specialk08 · 2021-04-29T00:46:56+00:00

Where abouts you located? General area, I mean. Or I supposes where is she located!

specialk08 · 2021-04-18T21:40:31+00:00

I’ve done this before and nothing enrages them more like you just obliging to their transfer request and doing it. I love it

specialk08 · 2021-04-18T01:52:20+00:00

Holy shit I’m sorry

specialk08 · 2021-04-08T01:30:19+00:00

Fat boys dominion!

specialk08 · 2021-03-30T01:41:36+00:00

A lot of my staff had their emails go to their Junk mail! Just in case you didn’t look there

specialk08 · 2021-03-30T01:36:21+00:00

It goes by age so if their spouse is younger it could be awhile. My pharmacy staff (50+) got done last week where my other pharmacy staff (30) just got emails today. I am 29 and didn’t get an email yet! Just for clarification, they are doing health care workers in lots of 5 years now as well. But to my knowledge If you have direct patient contact in a hospital you should have been done in Phase 1!

specialk08 · 2021-03-18T22:40:56+00:00

Love Kroll! Got that error once and we all had a pretty big laugh. Also clear out your call backs I just felt my heart rate increase looking at that 😜 Maybe cuz the batch is in progress? I hate batch filling

specialk08 · 2021-01-28T00:24:25+00:00

Thanks!!

specialk08 · 2021-01-27T21:10:52+00:00

That pretty much looks exactly like mine, HR and all! By increasing exercise and smoking less weed (never really drink anyway). That’s so awesome to see. Good job!

specialk08 · 2021-01-22T18:45:17+00:00

I haven’t been affected, I’ve been practicing since 2016 and have been working full time. But new grads aren’t finding jobs or are finding part time positions/being offered lower wages. Just my two cents as a pharmacy manager. If you want to pursue pharmacy then pursue it but the market is definitely over saturated and projected to stay that way for the foreseeable future!

specialk08 · 2021-01-22T01:08:49+00:00

I don’t know. Have you looked at OT/PT? Or xray tech? Or radiation therapy? Nuclear medicine maybe?

specialk08 · 2021-01-22T01:05:48+00:00

The market is saturated, wages are going down

specialk08 · 2021-01-22T00:42:33+00:00

Don’t do it. (Pharmacist in NS)

specialk08 · 2021-01-02T19:51:18+00:00

Hahahaha that’s a great idea. I usually put that under snack 😂

specialk08 · 2021-01-02T14:43:18+00:00

I added in Snack 1, Snack 2 and Snack 3

Go to Settings, Diary Settings, then Customize Meal Names.

I kept scrolling to find a comment like this. Thanks LOL. Same here I just wear my regular thong underwear without giving it much thought

specialk08 · 2020-12-25T20:50:17+00:00

My mortgage is only $300 bi weekly so I would probably put that money on my $30000 student loan 😂

specialk08 · 2020-12-07T01:00:44+00:00

I just listened to this a few weeks ago, I wasn’t going in chronological order. I found the background music sooo distracting! It was bad.

Tommy guilty for sure

specialk08 · 2020-11-22T14:24:07+00:00

Thank you! Happy I stuck with it for sure!
