it looks like the direct scripts are going to be gone soon as well...because a lot of them are drying up already due to people getting the rx in the mail, and altering it for more quantity and/or refills.....unless these op's convert to strictly call-ins like DS is going to do........just a heads up..............

Why do you assume that means he is on a "watch list"?
I just went to the car to retrieve all paperwork for my refill from 4 days ago. There is no remark/comment on my paperwork. Same OCS, also CVS.

It has to be information local to your CVS.
If it was in their nationwide system it would show up on all his scripts filled at any CVS.
My sister also received her refill in the last week, different CVS, hers also does not have the information.
I know you spoke to the OCS concerning it, perhaps it would have been better to put the information out there without such sensational cooments.
I did not mean that ugly, just that you do not want to start a panic needlessly. Some months ago one or two others also had this happen, and nothing bad came of it.

If my refills end up being a problem then I will post the OCS but no need to get everyone in a frenzy if it's not going to be a problem.
Bluefairy, On my paperwork it said internet doctor underneath the drs name.. It didn't say it on the bottle but on the pharmacy label that comes with the medication information sheet.

People have posted that they were turned away with their DC from their Pharmacy because it said "internet Doctor" on the script.
I know there is a thread around about it. I know there was more than one OCS using that Doctor. I don't know if some OCS's changed it.

I commented that I and my sister both checked our paperwork from the pharmacy to verify that it did not have that comment.
I was trying to let you know that it was doubtful that it was a watch list issue, as we both were filled at different CVS's, and since they have nationwide system, it would have to be local to your CVS.

Sometimes we give them to much credit. I had a direct script filled at an Albertsons Gro store across town from the one I usually visit because my regular pharmacist that knows me was off and I didn't care for the rude lady who fills in. (girl to girl thing I guess)
At the other pharmacy a nice man didn't even give my scripts from Florida a second look.
Although I was willing to pay cash and didn't want to upset the cart so to speak, he was more concerned with getting insurance information and saving me money.
He said the stores are not even linked together by computer so he picked up the phone and called the other store where they read off my insurance info and 10 minutes later I walked out with a 10 dollar bottle of meds.
Just goes to show you

I have never had internet Dr show up on any bottle or paperwork. I've onle used smaller gro store chains and stayed away from the Walgreens, CVS, Rite Aid, Walmart etc.
No problem so far. How long can this last?
This train may crash and I'm going to get off at the next stop

For those of you have used direct scripts, do you think it is best to go to your regular pharmacy, one you rarely ever go to, or one you have never been to?
What about using insurance? If I use my insurance, I don't have to pay anything. However, I'm not sure I want this showing up on my insurance since I won't have a doctor bill to go with it.
Are there any chains that work well for others or any I should avoid?
I would appreciate feedback from anyone with experience. Thank you.

A little insight... Mom and Pop pharmacies are ok but are actually less favorable than some of the big chains. However CVS and Walgreens tend to be the worst places to go. So far we haven't had any issues with any of these places but this is our doctors advice.
We haven't had any "internet doctor" issues either.
I can't believe anyone is actually trying to alter their prescription. This is ridiculous and obviously illegal not to mention pretty stupid. A good percentage of the time the pharmacy will call to verify the script. If it is not correct you will not receive your medication and the pharmacy will probably instantly call the police. Doing something like this is bad news for everybody. It will hurt all of us in the long run. This is the kind of behavior that will be the demise of telemedicine. Dont try to abuse the system!

Sorry bdit I meant to address your question. Yes it is a good idea to go to your regular pharmacy where you already have a relationship with the pharmacist. As far as insurance I dont see any issues there a lot of patients do infact use their insurance to pay for the meds with no issues.

Thank you so much. I was thinking about it, and I have gone to Kroger for years and they know me there. So that would really be easier than somewhere I've never been.

There is no evidence to support this claim and I seriously doubt it is a problem. With how much scrutiny these out of state scripts receive, you would have to be out of your mind to test your luck by altering it. Of course there will be people who will try their luck but the vast majority of people who use a DS service know better than that. The direct sript services might very well dry up but it will have nothing to do with forged scripts.

I cannot start a new thread yet but has anyone heard of Best Quality Health run by a Stephanie? They claim to be a direct script place and have been in the OCS business from the beginning. This name sounds familiar but when I did a search I found nothing. Thanks

I hope that this is not the same Stephanie from the whole YourPainManagement/ChatCP debacle. If it is, I would STRONGLY advise, in no uncertain terms, to avoid it at all costs. If it is a different person named Stephanie, my apologies. I won't go into all the details here, since there are voluminous threads about it, but suffice it to say that Stephanie allegedly took customer records from YPM and sold them to a very shady character named Carlos. Bad, bad deal all around.
Regarding direct scripts going away, no one knows what is going to happen in this arena. It might work, it might not. At the very least, I feel more confident walking into a pharmacy with a prescription and walking out with my meds than going to Fedex and walking out with meds. I personally don't think that alteration is going to be much of an issue, because of the extremely high stakes involved.
