CJ: I don’t know where you are, but in Ontario, generic drug companies pay “roll backs” to Pharmacists when they substitute the generic for brand name medications. Recently when the Provincial Government tried to end the practise the Pharmacists put up a hue and cry. Rick did a video about it.
Steffie101: FOr me, the “generic shuffle” has nothing to do with my insurance, since I pay out of pocket and then get reimbursed. Also, telling someone with ADHD to make sure they check their prescription before they leave the Doctor’s office is not a winning strategy.
Anyways, the reason I am pulling this Zombie thread up from the depths of the board is that t for the first time since I moved to a new city, I went to fill my Concerta prescription today.
It was great. Noone tried to push the generic on me, and the Pharmacist even applied the Concerta Copay card without me even having to ask about it. Best service I’ve had in a pharmacy since I started taking Concerta.
