Pay attention to cost of prescription at CVS/Caremark

Pay attention to cost of prescription at CVS/Caremark

http://www.dispatch.com/opinion/20180706/letter-pay-attention-to-cost-of-prescription

I want to share my recent experience with CVS Caremark. I called my doctor’s office to refill my 30-day prescription at their local dispensary. My two previous orders were 54 cents each, with help from my insurance company. When I asked for another refill, I was informed by the dispensary that CVS Caremark had taken over this prescription.

After going through numerous telephone menus, I was told that this would be fulfilled with a 90-day supply. I received my order yesterday and was billed $12. That is nearly a 750 percent increase from my original price. I am trying to find out the reason for such an increase.

I am thankful that The Dispatch has been doing its investigation into CVS Caremark pricing and suggest other people pay attention to the company’s billing practices.

  1. Dr.Ibsen is a superhero-LEAVE HIM ALONE!!!And anyone doing business w/CVS,you sorta had it coming.They are surely the very WORST excuse for a ‘drugstore’except for maybe Walgreens.Sometimes I think they have plaincar detectives taking customer plate #’s.Their employees would make excellent stand-ins for the DEA.Sewer bastards!
