Something I am working on--what are thoughts? (Womens Health)
Edited on Thu Jul-28-05 05:57 PM by Horse with no Name
Regarding activist pharmacists.
"If retail pharmacies make the choice not to fill legal prescriptions that are included in the Medicaid/Insurance company formularies, then said pharmacy is excluded from any third party payments for any medication that it dispenses."

Let's drop the morals out of this thing and put it back on the almighty dollar. They can choose to be moral and run a cash business. I shouldn't be the one who has to bear the burden of paying cash when I have insurance.
I want it to be all or nothing. If the insurance company tells me I can only use certain pharmacies, then that pharmacy should be obligated--without prejudice--to fill ANY prescription drug on the formulary. The insurance companies goals are to have pharmacies in the areas of their consumers. It doesn't do me any good if they refuse to fill certain medications. It HAS to be all or nothing.
As soon as I get this wording out--it's going to NARAL and Planned Parenthood.
I think if the insurance companies are forced to be put in the middle here--it will be a win for the consumer.
What do you all think?
