I Had To Drop My Pharmacy...I Was Informed They Are No Longer in Network.

Oh no! What do you do? You call your Part D provider and ask who else is in network. That's what I did and had my prescriptions transferred to a different pharmacy.

You'd think this is a correct, understandable thing to do, but my former pharmacy called upset and huffy that I would dump them like that. They wanted me to wait until their lawsuit changed things back. Ya! I'm going to wait and pay full price until class action makes a decision. No thanks.

What makes them think they can demand loyalty? I told them I'd rather stay with their pharmacy but I needed them to be in my Part D network which they will no longer be. "Well we already transferred your prescriptions (so there)!" I thanked them and said goodbye. Sheesh. You were my drugstore not my family. Gah.

I had that problem when the Rite Aid pharmacy closed. Fortunately, all our prescriptions were transferred to CVS.

Both CVS and Walgreens closed in my neighborhood. I use Walmart.

Wow, Judy, that's so weird about their attitude, sheesh!

All the Rite Aids here in town closed and we hear the CVS's are on shaky ground too.

All the Rite Aids here in town closed and we hear the CVS's are on shaky ground tr 6oo.

My pharmacy was a town pharmacy owned by a local family and defined as stand alone. I guess the pharmacy biz has suddenly become more competitive for them.

What a ridiculous response from your pharmacist ! You should have said you'd continue to get your prescriptions from there if they guaranteed in writing to charge you what they've always charged until their suit (they're not likely to win) is settled. When changes in how and where we can receive medical care and our meds can be sucky. It's good that you were able to find another pharmacy right away.
