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

  2. P @ psychedpsych: Have good day people, and I hate texting messages lol
  3. B @ bigblueallda: @drjimmy1964 lol I am actually surprised it is a real ID. I needed those documents because my license had been expired for over a year and I had to start all over. Nothing was in the system. It was a huge mess. I had no clue I was signing up for Real ID. They asked me for the exact same documents that I needed for a State ID Card.
  4. S @ soupson: bless your heart buddy. no sense of grammar or proper insults/jokes. you need this place in ways i can’t comprehend
  5. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: Sweet Ol' Me asked about Real ID, Stoup. Are you responsive to emails ? LMAO
  6. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: I smell some Stoup. Is Stoup's on ?
  7. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @bigblueallda You win. I am lost. Thought you were surprised your license was a Real ID, now you say you provided those items.
  8. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @bigblueallda I was under the impression that you'd need all of the points to get a real ID . I'd check it's validity if you're gonna fly domestic any time soon, just to make sure. Not to tell you what to do, sorry -
  9. B @ bigblueallda: @drjimmy1964 In my state to get a Real ID, I need SS card, Birth Certificate and two proofs of residency. Which I am positive I had to provide to get a new ID when it had been expired.
  10. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @Turbo259 advertising - putting in writing for example an negative action to show they are guilty prior to taking action.
  11. B @ bigblueallda: I haven't flown in an airplane in 20 years lol. Can't recall the last government building I have been in either. According to the symbol it tells me I should have on my ID to make it a Real ID I do have one in my state

  14. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @bigblueallda are you sure you have a Real ID ? I mean , they really want 6 points of proof and 1 for your addy and 1 for your SSN. Did you maybe get it done and forgot and flew out of the country or something ?

  16. S @ soupson: did anyone ask about real id or is sweet ol jimmy just rambling
  17. T @ Turbo259: @drjimmy1964 what did you mean by advertise? not gettin the verbiage, DM works if anything, just didnt understand
  18. B @ bigblueallda: {Visit your local Driver Service Bureau with the necessary documents: original birth certificate, Social Security card, and two proofs of your state's residency. } I definitely provided this when I had to get a new ID when i let mine go expired too long maybe I unknowingly got one but I think it is pretty standard here.
  19. B @ bigblueallda: Well it was a state id renewal. Before that there was a mixup and I had lost my birth certficate and social security number. After a couple of weeks and finally getting several documents in order I was able to get a state ID. It had been expired previously for a little too long and they wanted all kinds of proof. It was a mess. But nah I looked up what to look for an my state's ID to see if it is a Real Id or not and my card as the symbol it is supposed to have. I'll take a closer look though
