No matter what I do ("Fax request", "refill not appropriate", etc) half the time the pharmacy just tells the patient I denied it and they resubmit the SAME request! If it is not legal to prescribe them, (at least without the complex security the DEA requires), why is it legal to request them? Grrr!! Now breathe!! Roger (Nephrology) Do the right thing. The rest doesn?t matter. Cold or warm. Tired or well-rested. Despised or honored. ? --Marcus Aurelius --

I guess they get paid more if they run it through the insurance plus collect the copay. John Internal Medicine

My lisinopril costs $10 for 3 months if paid for cash, but my copay is $26.00 if run through insurance.
