Does anyone know if there is a site that lists the Pharmacies and how much they will refill without any problems.

eg.walmart will fill up to 90 norco, anything over that and they call dr. to discuss alternatives. (Lowering the script, and physical therapy).

 
Actually they just filled a script for me that was 180 Norcos that was sent in electronically by my doctor and I was the only one who questioned it because it was a mistake. They were like "nope, it says 180" and I just said I guess I won't have to come back as soon as usual. 

I think that this is something that is unique to each pharmacy and even ones in the same chain will do things very differently.  One Walgreens near me refused to fill a script for maybe 15 or 20 Norco because it was after hours and they could not contact the dentist as I was the last oral surgery of the day. Despite my swollen face and mouth stuffed with bloody gauze the clerk seemed to take pleasure in denying me.

I have been to a different Walgreens near our largest ER and they had no problem filling scripts for percs or vikes in the middle of the night because I am sure they cater to the hospital crowd.

Even if there's a company policy, there is a big difference in how it's interpreted so I think trial and error is the only way to really know how they operate. I have also found that some will use the database and refuse a script that duplicates an earlier one in that month (Costco) and the above mentioned hospital Walgreens does not. 

Unless you are in a rural area where choices are few, it's a good idea to shop around and find the one with the best prices and least attitude. Sorry for taking your subject so wide of the topic! I just feel like I have tried them all and there is no consistency. 

 
@2EARLS, Thanks for the reply. I have spent so much time on the phone calling around. You are right, everyone has different policies, that also change from month to month. My Dr. is going to get pissed when each of his patients' pharmacies call to verify . Happened to me last month and she was forced to reduce each script by 10 pills. They call if it's over 90 tabs.(that sucks).

 
I agree @2earls for me cvs is a nightmare they will only fill so many a year despite the doc script .

i only filled a total of 15 tram Er since  jan over 3 refills cause of the cost ! Then cvs and easy script s said that's it u reached ur max refills for year !!! I still had 18 pills in their system !!!

i like krogers much better

  18. Gulp2788 @ Gulp2788: whereas if I use fiat to buy something the money is green anyway. Monero does this really well. Anyway rant over, you can DM me if you'd like to talk more about cryptos.
  19. Gulp2788 @ Gulp2788: I don't really think that people understand the whole point of cryptos in the first place anymore. BTC just won't be adopted by governments because the transactions are too public and what's worse, money that is freshly minted is better than money that has been used. Like if my btc was used for something that was illegal does that mean the money is "poisoned"?
  20. Gulp2788 @ Gulp2788: @xenxra Yeah, Like I said I've never really been that fond of btc, it isn't used as a currency, just as a place for people to invest money in, even though the whole purpose of btc was to be a currency. If it doesn't fulfill that role, what does? Monero certainly does.
