My health providers have a contract with that three letter pharmacy. Fine, so far. But should I go to the ER on the weekend or late evenings, and there is no three letter place open, all other pharmacies will refuse to fill it. Even if I tell them I am willing to pay for it. They will tell me to wait until morning and bring it to the three letter store.
The pharmacy that sends me all my meds right into my hand, is owned by my health plan. They do not fill scripts from the general public. And I am the only one who can sign for them. I get three separated doses of gabapentin a day. Since that drug has been declared a "street drug" now, it is in the same class as any other narcotic. At least in this state.
Pirate and myself know the two folks that make my deliveries. So they let him sign my name. Even though the instructions clearly state "to be signed ONLY by the patient these medicines are intended for." A lot of times I am sleeping when the delivery is made, and Pirate will not wake me up for the sole purpose of signing my name while I am half asleep.
The nice thing about my health plan, I get anything I want from them. Including OTC cold remedies and Eucerin Damaged Skin Cream. Products I could easily buy at any drugstore in the nation.
