Mail-in prescription problems? Here's how to deal with them

HAVE YOU HAD PROBLEMS WITH YOUR MAIL-IN Rx?

COPY YOUR Rx
(MAKE A PHOTOSTATIC COPY)
Some retirees have been told their Rx said 30 pills when the Rx was 90

CALL OTHER PHARMACIES
CHECK ON PRICES, YOU MIGHT BE SURPRISED-especially if you are Medicare eligible and require diabetic testing supplies- ask if the pharmacy "accepts Medicare assignment"-if they do, you may very well walk out paying absolutely nothing! This does happen, ask the pharmacist about it.

COUNT YOUR PILLS
DID YOU GET YOUR FULL AMOUNT?

CALL CAREMARK & STRS
