Oxycontin- Why Won't The Pharmacist Tell You What Proper Protocol Is When Your Told The Prescription Can't Be Filled Because It Does Not Meet Protocol (Page 2) (Top voted first)

Updated

MY INSURANCE PLAN PART D MAILORDER PHARMACY MAILS MY RX BACK WITH A LETTER STATING THEY CAN NOT FILL THE RX FOR OXYCODONE 30 MG BECAUSE IT DOES NOT MEET THE PROPER STANDARD PROTOCOL BUT WHEN YOU CALL THEM BACK AND ASK WHAT IS THE PROTOCOL OR WHAT PROTOCOL WAS NOT MET OR HOW CAN YOU FIND OUT HOW TO MEET THE PROTOCOL? WHAT CORRECTIONS ARE NEEDED? THEY CAN NOT ANSWER ANY OF YOUR QUESTIONS. THEY SIMPLY DO NOT KNOW AND THEY HAVE NO ONE IN THE PLAN THAT CAN GIVE YOU AN ANSWER. HOW CAN THAT BE POSSIBLE? WHAT IS REALLY GOING ON? I HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH MEDCO MAILORDER AND HEALTHNET ORANGE INSURANCE WHO USES CVS PHARM FOR THEIR MAILORDER.

It is a narcotic and in the state of california they require you to visit the doctor every month and not allowed for mail order unless your doctor contacts insurance co and demands them to mail order for you hope this helps

Hey Cheryl, sorry, but you are wrong! They DO NOT have to show a " reduction " in prescribed pain meds. Have you ever heard of intractable pain? This means that it cannot be " fixed " with surgery, it can only be treated, and symptoms managed. .open a book, you may just learn something!

I have been on Opana ER for 9 years. Opana never gave me a feeling of Euphoria. Maybe it only does when you abuse it. I had no side effects except constipation!!!!

For a person who was on opiates for 25 years you sure are judgmental..How dare you and the other ***** for making a comment like that. Get your act together..This site has no room for 12 stepping. We don’t judge anyone... We are here to answer questions and to lend an empathic ear. Now if you have nothing but insults just go away.

Posters,

As a professional and licensed it is a suggestion BUT if you die or break your contract, the physician is liable for medical malpractice due to the recommendations of the FDA and CDC which are HYPE. The only deaths by OD were to those not prescribed.

Further under ACA Obama is paying your doctors incentives to NOT TREAT YOU.

Uh we need the man called Trump and a return to profit medicine or you will be 10 feet under as Hitler deemed necessary some years ago :)

This is not a monthly medication & by the time you get the script, mail it in & get it back from them, a week has past & that's too long for these schedule A drugs! You need a triplicate prescription for these type~Regulations are so strict right now, a mail order pharmacy would have to jump too many hoops to be able to fill Schedule A drugs! Timing is the issue! They can't fill it early & you can't receive it late! They may even be illegal to send through USPS? Pretty sure they are prohibited by the government!

Dont use Cvs. They will no longer fill more than a 7 day supply. Hope they go out of business. Who are they to say how long we need to be on our meds.!!!!

Wow sooooo glad it's not like that here in Canada! !! Since when does an insurance plan decide medical decisions? ??? My company paid for narcotics for almost 25 yrs...was over 2k each and every month. I'm not on them right now. But I was up to just about 3 half wks ago. But I deff do agree with you when you told this person that you would hope that they do want to get their act together :))

Actually, it's not the doctors and pharmacies that are having the issue...it's the government who is now getting involved after the FDA approved Oxycontin for wide spread use and now people are dying?

I take Norco and i know i used to be able to have it mailed 90 day supply but now i have to go into her office every month and fill them myself at the same pharmacy. Call your doctor they are up to date on the current laws going into effect. Good luck!

I am on a methadone clinic in Boston Massachusetts and I'm moving to Hawaii in 30 days. I need to transfer, but Hawaii said they don't take Medicare and I would have to wait till I could get insurance but don't know how long. Does anyone know how easy it would be to get methadone shipped from my old clinic to my new address? Or a clinic in Honolulu Hawaii?

Opana ER does not make you feel "High", I have never felt high on it. I usually can't take pain Meds because they make me sick! This med was a miracle drug for me, however, I am getting weaned off it now because I'm tired of jumping thru hoops!(I wish I could jump!)

There are new protocols that mandate a physician do something to fix your situation in stead of just giving out pain meds. They have to show a reduction on your dosage with an action plan for helping you.
This is what your insurance wants for you and i hope this is you would want for yourself.
